The Client
One of the world's largest hedge funds, this is an excellent opportunity to join the Responsible Investment Tech team in a pivotal, wide-ranging development role.

Your projects will be varied and cover everything from onboarding the best vendor ESG datasets for research, analysis & reporting, creating Python APIs to facilitate easy access to ESG data, to developing tools to ensure actionable ESG data is available firm-wide
