About this role
What we do We are a global software and professional services company for the financial industry, with offices in the UK, USA, Germany, Brazil and Indonesia. We specialize in working with investment banks to automate the issuance process for structured products. For layman, a structured product is a financial investment (not unlike a savings account) where the return to the investor depends on the performance of an underlying asset (e.g., a stock or an index). While structured products tend to offer a higher return than a savings account, they also tend to come with a higher risk. Therefore, the issuance (i.e., the creation) of a structured product and its offering to investors is highly regulated. We offer banks automation solutions to make that issuance process simpler. The core of our automation solution is a document automation tool that facilitates the creation of fact sheets, term sheets and similar documents which describe the products. We are looking to hire developers and financial experts to work with this core automation solution.
