We have a fantastic opportunity for an Integration Engineer to join us at our unique Head Office in Renfrew which includes our state-of-the-art gym with weekly circuit training, a personal trainer and yoga classes as well as the Beeks Bar or weekly masseuse to help you unwind!

Role Overview

Beeks Group are looking for a technically talented Integration Engineer to join our growing Integration and Delivery team on the Analytics side of the business.

As an Integration Engineer, you will be designing, delivering, and supporting innovative solutions for clients in the electronic trading sector, built on the Beeks Analytics suite of products and deployed on Linux platforms and in SaaS containers. The role ranges from requirements gathering and analysis through to conducting client trials and full deployment, configuration and integration of the solution.

The successful candidate will balance problem solving and customer facing skills with the ability to contribute to product development and deployment, through targeted technical and process development. Verbal and written communication skills are critical for success, as the candidate will represent Beeks to external customers.

Knowledge of network analysis and financial market protocols are useful, but not essential. We encourage applications from individuals who have demonstrable experience of quickly learning new products and who excel in pragmatic, practical problem solving.

The successful candidate’s work will make a direct and measurable contribution to the company’s success.

Responsibilities

This is a hands-on role in a small team requiring leadership and mentoring skills and combining people and project management skills with direct delivery and support to external clients.

Responsibilities extend to running, and being responsible for, the success of customer facing implementation projects. Specific responsibilities include:

• Work on complex, high-volume, real-time systems and application integration projects for clients across financial services

• Deliver reliable, maintainable projects to new and existing clients using the Beeks Analytics products and toolset
• Play an active part in the design of novel solutions to meet emerging business requirements

• Provide technical support for existing clients, and to other members of the team:

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues
