Software C++ Developer

Phi Partners is a Capital Markets Technology consultancy, working in a specific context, providing specialist services with a niche focus. We are proud to work with more than 60 financial institutions, including some of the biggest and best known banking brands in the world.

Our People

Our people are project managers, business analysts, technical architects, developers, testers and support analysts – from recent technology or business graduates, to seasoned professionals with 25 years’ experience.

Our Context

We specialise in sell-side and buy-side trading technology. We work primarily with investment banks, but increasingly also with asset management firms and hedge funds. Our clients are IT managers or managers in Trading and Risk business departments who need our help defining, implementing or supporting their technology. Our expert consultants understand the financial products and the business processes that support them.

Our Focus

We specialise in specific vendor trading applications with a speciality in Valuation and Risk.

Summit, Sophis, and Murex are the best-known Vendor technologies in this context – we know them inside out: how to configure them, customise them, integrate them, use them, support them. In fact, we know them so well that we have partnerships with the vendors and often provide our experts to the vendors themselves, for specific projects.

Across and beyond these trading applications, we have particular expertise in quantative development – producing complex valuation and risk measures with bespoke pricing models, integrated with the client’s other technology.

Our Services

We provide individual experts to work under a client’s direction, or whole self-managing teams under the direction of one of our own senior experts. Our people provide services to support or change the client’s technology, or advise on technology choices.

We support our clients with change projects relating to their evolving business requirements – for example introduction of new financial products or responding to new regulations. We regularly undertake change projects relating to a client’s changing technology landscape: anything from a multi-year projects for a greenfield trading system implementation, or development of a cross-asset bespoke valuation service, to building an individual interface or configuring a back office workflow. Migrations of data or business functionality between systems, and system upgrades are both core parts of our business.

We also have a small product devlopment team: we offer a market-leading on-line data archiving solution for Summit, with plans for other specialised products in the pipeline.
