- You don’t need any prior buy-side experience to join this fund, where you’ll join a stable team who’ve mostly been there for years. The company culture of treating people well has meant that few people want to leave. The development team has remained lean, which will give you the chance to work on a range on projects – all software is built in house.

You’ll work closely with the business users to understand what they need, before building out the application. You’ll see the impact you’re having, daily. Part of your job will involve supporting and troubleshooting issues with the applications.
