Role Overview
Beeks Group is seeking a skilled and adaptable Client Implementation Engineer to support the technical implementation, deployment, and ongoing evolution of our Analytics product.
As a Client Implementation 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. The role ranges from requirements gathering and analysis through to conducting client trials and full deployment, configuration and integration of the solution. In addition to client projects, the engineer will collaborate closely with software engineers to shape new product capabilities and adapt the platform for new customer use cases.
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.
As the product evolves, the role offers opportunities to deepen expertise in several directions, including product development, client solution design, and technical support. The role may offer travel opportunities. Beeks is a small company and the successful candidate’s work will make a direct and measurable contribution to the company’s success.
We particularly welcome candidates who enjoy learning new technologies and developing practical solutions to real-world system problems. This role is ideal for engineers looking to take the next step in their careers and gain deeper experience working with production systems in the financial markets.
