C++ Engineer - Asset/Investment Management

C++, OO language ability, Financial Services.

My Asset/Investment Management client is looking to invest heavily in their Front Office trading function with a view to utilising new computing capability to build on business and trading profits. Of course, IT is already a major factor in the Front Office, but my client is looking to move aware from just considering market knowledge' for their trading, and look to how technology and smart code and add a boost factor which has not previously been accessed. There will also be an opportunity to work on the security architecture. As a result of this new focus, my client would actually not like to see profiles from the historical financial services sector only, as they see this as a new step forward, a new approach - and as a result they want fresh ideas, not just a reworked approach which can already be found in the market.

Of paramount importance is your OO coding capability, but other buzz words' might be those such as;
