London (Hybrid) | High -I mpact SaaS Engineering Role

C#, ASP.Net Core, TypeScript, React, Computer Science

Company Size: Approx. 60

Salary Range : £75k-£95k + equity

Spectrum Recruitment is partnered with a fast-growing, venture-backed SaaS company helping organisations understand and control complex data flows. Their platform enables enterprises to model, visualise, and manage data lineage, bringing clarity to some of the most challenging problems in modern data environments.

Why are they hiring?

Product Demand | Scale | Increasing team capabilities

As demand for the product increases and market interest builds the team needs greater experience and capabilities for scale. The current team is primarily made up of very clever graduates from ICL led by an experienced Head of Tech. They are looking for Developers to help the team evolve, add rigor and depth of knowledge to take the team and company to the next level.

Why This Role Stands Out

Work on genuinely complex engineering problems involving data modelling, visualisation, and emerging AI capabilities.

Own meaningful product features in a small, highly skilled engineering team.

Use a modern technology stack with freedom to innovate and influence technical direction.

Join a collaborative culture with R&D time, knowledge sharing, and hackathons.

Technology

C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, TypeScript, React, cloud-hosted SaaS architecture, and exposure to AI-assisted development and data visualisation.

Who This Would Suit

Established, Senior Engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, care about clean architecture and UX, and want a role where their work has visible impact on both product and customers.

A degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering is a must.

Environment & Culture

Hybrid working (usually two days per week in a central London office) alongside a collaborative and ambitious engineering team. A friendly, sociable culture where people genuinely enjoy working together to solve complex challenges and have fun while doing it. You’ll also have clear opportunities to learn, develop, and influence the future direction of the technology and team.

Interested?

If you’re an experienced developer looking for a technically interesting role where your work genuinely matters, this is worth a conversation.

Tech Lead - Asset Management Data Platform (Pricing & Quant Data)

Permanent London (Hybrid - 3 days/week onsite)

Up to 140,000 + bonus + excellent benefits

Lorien is partnering with a leading UK investment and asset management organisation to hire a hands-on Tech Lead to help build and evolve a modern cloud data platform supporting front-office investment activity. This is a high-impact role in a London-based team that works closely with the business, shaping how critical pricing, hedging and investment datasets are produced, governed and shared.

This role involes leading technical design and delivery from the front, mentoring engineers, and setting engineering standards (without formal line management). You’ll be trusted to operate with high autonomy and drive delivery day-to-day.

The opportunity (what you’ll be working on)

  • Building and running a greenfield/early-stage Snowflake data platform that acts as a data hub for the asset management function
  • Delivering high-quality, timely data for pricing workflows (ensuring the right data is available for pricing, and distributed correctly once prices are produced)
  • Supporting asset & liability matching and hedging MI use-cases by providing trusted datasets to investment stakeholders and quant teams
  • Modernising how data is served to consumers, including reworking APIs/data services to use more timely inputs and improve pricing accuracy
  • Helping enable expansion of in-house capability to trade across multiple asset classes, by strengthening data foundations and delivery

What you’ll do

  • Lead technical design and implementation across data services, APIs, and platform components
  • Set and uphold engineering standards (patterns, code quality, reviews, testing approach)
  • Drive modern delivery practices: CI/CD, test automation, DevOps ways of working
  • Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and production-ready in a regulated environment
  • Mentor and support engineers through pairing, coaching, workshops and code reviews
  • Work directly with front-office / investment stakeholders to translate outcomes into technical delivery
  • Operate independently, owning your technical backlog and delivery plan with minimal day-to-day oversight

What they’re looking for (candidate profile)

Essential experience

  • Strong hands-on technical leadership in a front-office investment/trading environment
  • Background in Investment Banking, Asset Management, or Wealth Management, ideally where the organisation trades and manages its own funds
  • Proven ability to deliver data-intensive platforms or services used by front-office stakeholders (trading, portfolio, risk, quants)
  • Strong engineering capability across Python, SQL, Snowflake, and AWS (modern cloud patterns; serverless experience is a strong advantage)
  • Comfortable owning solution design, making decisions, and driving delivery with high autonomy
  • Excellent stakeholder communication skills (can influence, align, and keep delivery moving)

Desirable

  • Experience with pricing / market data, ALM concepts, hedging MI, or data supplied to quant/model users
  • Strong solution design skills (end-to-end data/service design)
  • Experience working across multiple teams / scaled delivery environments
  • Exposure to event-driven / serverless architectures and modern data engineering patterns

Why this role stands out

  • Modern stack: Snowflake + AWS (serverless), building on a new platform with real scope to shape engineering direction
  • Autonomy and trust-based culture: strong ownership, ability to implement what you think is best
  • Front-and-centre London team build-out: a key hire helping establish and grow a new capability close to the business
  • Meaningful domain challenges: pricing, hedging, investment datasets - real-world impact and complexity

Working pattern & package

  • London hybrid: typically 3 days per week onsite
  • Salary up to 140,000 (plus bonus)
  • Strong benefits package (details shared during process)
  • Open to flexible working discussions (including part-time/job share in principle)
