Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa AES Global Full-time R 600,000 - R 900,000 Contract

We’re working with an established investment management firm, and they’re looking for a Process Engineer to help modernise how its investment teams work — bringing a business-analysis mindset to designing better processes and writing the specifications that let AI tooling build solutions.

This is a hands-on, analytical role at the intersection of technology and investment. It’s not a straight business-analyst role, and it doesn’t involve coding — instead, you’ll write clear, accurate specifications for AI-assisted development and drive new ways of working.

What you’ll do

  • Analyse and design better processes that deliver precise, accurate, impactful outcomes across asset types for investment teams and clients
  • Bridge the gap between technologists and investment professionals, staying in the detail of delivery
  • Produce accurate features (Agile) and clear specifications that AI tooling can build from
  • Work with engineering leads and product owners to deliver value iteratively
  • Take part in design, planning and architecture sessions, keeping outcomes clear, functional and measurable
  • Use modern tooling to analyse data and build automations

What you’ll bring

  • At least 3 years in financial services / asset management
  • An understanding of how an asset manager’s investment processes work, and a desire to modernise them
  • An understanding of data and data flows (data and systems architecture)
  • Strong SQL skills
  • Exposure to modern tooling such as Python to reduce manual effort and enable AI-assisted development
  • Experience consuming HTTP APIs (e.g. REST, GraphQL), databases and files
  • Intellectual curiosity and a self-directed approach

Advantageous

  • A relevant degree (beneficial, not required)

Office-based in Cape Town.
