We have developed policies and processes which are designed to provide for the security and integrity of your Personal Data. We are committed to Processing your Personal Data fairly and lawfully, and being open and transparent about such Processing. For further information on how we process your data, please see the privacy notice for applicants here * As at 31 March 2026 The Team This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers. Technology is central to Man's business strategy, and we are constantly evolving to stay ahead. Our culture embraces change and innovation, with engineering at the heart of our operating platform. We are seeking an Associate Engineer to join our Finance & People Technology team. Reporting into the Finance & People Technology Lead, you'll join the team as an associate cross-platform engineer supporting the day-to-day engineering, operation, and continual improvement of the SaaS estate that underpins both the Finance and People/HR domains. Workday Enterprise Management Cloud sits at the core of both estates — but it's fundamentally one platform among many. Our ecosystem spans a broad set of best-in-class SaaS tools, including Greenhouse (talent acquisition), CultureAmp (employee experience), Kyriba (treasury), FloQast (financial close), and Workato (integration & automation), all connected through integrations into upstream and downstream systems. You'll work fluidly across this full footprint and the wider tech ecosystem around it - not as a single-product specialist, but as a versatile engineer who can pick up any system, understand how data flows between them, and improve the whole. Role Responsibilities * Configure, maintain & troubleshoot the platforms across Finance and People — Workday at the core, plus Greenhouse, CultureAmp, Kyriba, FloQast, and others * Own a share of the BAU & support rota across the full estate — resolving tickets, user queries, and small enhancements * Build, support & improve integrations between platforms — much of it orchestrated through Workato and other middleware — ensuring clean, reliable data flow * Monitor, triage & resolve integration errors, applying durable root-cause fixes over workarounds * Deliver process & config improvements — refining controls, reducing manual steps, tightening documentation * Use AI to engineer better and faster — applying Claude Code, agentic tooling, and Man Group's in-house AI to automate, prototype, and troubleshoot. A core expectation, not a side project * Implement best practices for scalability, supportability, maintainability, and performance * Maintain rigorous change-control & audit documentation Key Competencies Required * Some professional working experience — internship, placement year, grad scheme, or 1–2 years in a tech, engineering, BA, HRIS, or finance-systems role. This is not an entry-level role. * Exposure to enterprise SaaS platforms. Experience with Workday, Greenhouse, Workato, Kyriba, CultureAmp or FloQast is a plus — but none is a prerequisite. We care more about how fast you learn new systems than your existing tool list. * Comfort working across multiple SaaS platforms at once, picking up new systems quickly — this multi-platform fluency is the heart of the role * Aptitude for hands-on system configuration and change-control discipline * Foundational understanding of integrations (APIs, file-based interfaces, middleware/iPaaS like Workato) and how data flows between systems * A track record of building simple "vibe-coded" automations/apps — plus fluency with (or eagerness to master) agentic AI coding tools like Claude Code * Genuine enthusiasm for AI as an everyday engineering tool — we expect you to reach for Claude Code and our in-house AI instinctively * A curious, builder mindset — prototype, automate, and ask "why" before "how" * Methodical approach to BAU support & troubleshooting — root-cause fixes over workarounds * Strong written & verbal communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders Advantageous but not required * Experience with Workday, Greenhouse, Workato, Kyriba, CultureAmp or FloQast (none is a prerequisite — we care more about how fast you learn new systems than your existing tool list) Benefits * Modern office located in the OfficeX campus with easy access to transport and amenities. * Hybrid working model * Competitive compensation package * 25 days holiday allowance * Premium Health insurance * Employee Assistance program * Referral Bonus * Additional days off for long service and volunteering * Multisport card * Opportunities for professional development including internal tech talks * Conference attendance, and engagement with the open-source community.
