Job description

  • Build pipelines into a central warehouse and design data models for funds, deals, portfolio companies, investors and valuations
  • Integrate the CRM, fund administration, accounting and data-room platforms via their APIs
  • Set up data quality checks, deduplication, entity resolution and access controls for sensitive LP and deal data
  • Work with the AI & Product Engineer to serve clean data to AI workflows
  • Maintain internal tooling and automations
  • Document everything (data dictionaries, runbooks, architecture notes) so the platform outlives any one person

Requirements

  • A degree (2:1 or above) in computer science, engineering, maths, physics or a similar quantitative field, or a demonstrable self-taught equivalent
  • Solid Python and SQL, with code you can show
  • An instinct for turning messy information into clean, well-modelled data
  • Care and discretion with commercially sensitive financial data
  • Comfort with ambiguity: a small team defining things as it goes, not a rotation programme
  • The culture ‘fit’ is key: you’ll be naturally inquisitive, have a demonstrable ‘can do’ mindset, real enthusiasm for the work, an analytical/mathematical brain
  • Exposure to a cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP) or a warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery or Postgres at scale) is strongly preferable
  • Familiarity with dbt, Airflow, Dagster or Prefect, or an interest in learning them
  • Some exposure to finance, * Bachelor’s (required)

Benefits & conditions

  • Ownership of the firm’s data platform
  • A front-row seat to deal-making, fund structures and investor relations
  • Modern tooling and a mandate to use AI heavily in your own work
  • Competitive salary, annual discretionary bonus, 25 days’ leave plus UK bank holidays
