We are seeking a hands-on contractor to support delivery within the Total Fund Management Portfolio Management Technology team. 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.

- Independently frame, design, and deliver software solutions by engaging stakeholders, clarifying ambiguous requirements, and challenging assumptions
- Build backend services and RESTful APIs aligned to those designs
- Develop cloud-native applications (AWS preferred)
- Implement workflow automation and data pipelines where needed
- Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including CI/CD
- Ensure solutions are production-ready, including testing, documentation, and handover
- Act as a reliable execution partner, proactively communicating progress, trade-offs, risks, and changes in expectations
SKILLS
Must have
- Prior consulting, advisory, or client-facing delivery experience
- Proven ownership and independent delivery without close supervision
- Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to frame and solve problems in ambiguous situations
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including proactive expectation management
- Demonstrated adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools and practices as part of day-to-day software delivery
- Strong Python experience in enterprise environments
- Experience building RESTful services / APIs
- Strong cloud experience (AWS preferred)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines
- Strong unit and integration testing practices
Nice to have
- Workflow automation experience
- CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions)
