If you enjoy a job where C++ meets heavy maths and the occasional existential crisis caused by a legacy codebase, you’ll be right at home here. This role is with a specialist consultancy and sits in a major UK financial institution’s asset management engineering group, where they’re rebuilding and modernising the modelling platform used by quants and portfolio teams.
About the organisation
This is a financial consultancy expanding its asset management engineering capability. The team is small, tight-knit, and focused on deep technical work that underpins large-scale investment decisions. They’re growing steadily, with several engineers already in place and more joining as the platform is rebuilt.
What you’ll do
Modernise and upgrade a bespoke quant modelling codebase used across asset management.
Work on complex calculation engines that drive modelling, portfolio analysis, and financial decision logic.
Integrate AI tools into everyday engineering workflows to boost velocity and clarity.
Improve build systems, support modelling DSL development, and reverse-engineer existing behaviours to make everything more scalable.
What you need
Strong C++ experience applied in finance, quant environments, or other highly mathematical domains.
Advanced academic background: a Master’s degree with 3+ years’ experience or a PhD in Maths, Physics, Astrophysics, Computer Science, or a similar discipline.
Excellent mathematical ability and confidence working with complex modelling or simulation logic.
Clear communication skills and the curiosity to ask the right questions when something in the code starts acting like it has a mind of its own.
If you prefer untangling bespoke systems to making small talk, you’ll find this role refreshingly... well, calculable.
The practical bits
Salary ranges from €60K to €110K, depending on seniority and depth of experience.
The role is fully remote within Ireland or the UK.
Visa sponsorship is not available.
