Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a passionate Python engineer to work within the APAC Investment Technology team. You'll work with like-minded technologists globally with a variety of skill sets, focused on building best-of-breed data processing, workflow and analytical tools for processes such as investment research, data modelling and portfolio construction using modern, appropriate technologies.

Our systems must be well architected, designed for testability and extensibility. To achieve this we implement mentoring and coaching through regular code reviews and pair programming.
You'll work with a team of enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about software in a financial context and evolving our investment platform. They're also keen on driving positive technology change at Schroders, ensuring that we always stay ahead of the curve.

• Ability to deal credibly with business and technical users at all levels of the organisation
