This is a highly hands-on programming role, working directly with investment professionals across private and public markets. The successful candidate will design and implement data solutions, automate spreadsheets and workflows, and build databases that connect to multiple data sources. Unlike traditional asset management environments, this team places a strong emphasis on in-house tool development, so the role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical coding and problem-solving.

• Automate spreadsheets, reports, and repetitive processes
• Design and manage databases linking multiple data sources
• Support both private and public market investment teams
• Work closely with investment professionals to translate requirements into technical solutions

• Ability to work independently in a small, high-impact team
• Dynamic, curious, and eager to learn
• Comes from an investment bank, hedge fund, or similar financial environment
