Counting many of the world's leading investment banks as clients, we help our clients navigate the data-driven, digital revolution that is transforming the financial services sector. Our global teams span across 15 offices serving clients across EMEA, North America and APAC.
As an EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM) company, a leading global provider of digital platform engineering and development services, we deliver advanced financial services solutions by empowering operational insights, driving innovation, and enabling more effective risk management in an increasingly data-centric world. Together with EPAM, we combine deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to help clients stay ahead in a rapidly evolving financial landscape, offering comprehensive solutions that drive business transformation and sustainable growth.
We are seeking a hands-on engineer to support delivery within the Total Fund Management Portfolio Management team with one of our clients. This role is suited for an experienced, self-directed software engineer who can operate with a high degree of autonomy, take ownership of outcomes, solve ambiguous problems, and deliver working solutions with minimal day-to-day oversight.
This is not a role for someone who requires detailed task breakdowns or constant direction. Once objectives and constraints are clear, you are expected to independently drive work to completion, proactively manage risks, communicate progress and trade-offs effectively, and manage stakeholder expectations.
The Total Fund Management team supports the enterprise-level investment structure and processes for managing the clients portfolio. The team collaborates across investment, risk, and operations groups to integrate and optimize portfolio management workflows using modern, cloud-native technologies.
The TFM PM Engineering team builds platforms and analytical capabilities that enable portfolio construction, monitoring, and decision-making at scale, supporting the long-term objectives of the fund.
The recruiting efforts for this position are intended to fill an existing vacancy for a new position.

An artificial intelligence system is software that is developed with one or more techniques that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, using algorithmic information processing, generate outputs such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions with varying levels of autonomy (“AI”). Tasks that humans have traditionally done by thinking and reasoning are increasingly being done by, or with the help of, AI to help create efficiencies. EPAM may use AI during the recruitment process, in connection with collecting or processing your personal data. Some (non-exhaustive) examples of tasks that EPAM may use AI for include conducting initial screening, creating transcripts of interviews, and assessing applications/CVs against defined job description criteria to make suggestions to the individuals evaluating your candidacy. Your personal data and the results of any processing are not shared with AI applications outside of EPAM infrastructure. While EPAM may use AI to help create efficiencies during the recruitment process, EPAM does not use AI to make hiring decisions, which is done by EPAM Talent Acquisition and management.
