Summary

Our History:

In 2006 i-Deal LLC, a leading innovator in capital markets workflow solutions, and Hemscott Group Ltd, a premier international provider of financial data and investor relations services, today announced that they have merged under a common holding company called Ipreo Holdings LLC. Ipreo further announced today its acquisition of Marketpipe, a UK-based provider of financial services technology focusing on new-issuance fixed income solutions.
With the acquisition of Marketpipe, Ipreo becomes the only truly global provider of new-issuance solutions in the fixed income space.

What We Do:

Ipreo is a leading global provider of financial services technology, data and analytics. We support all participants in the capital-raising process including banks, public and private companies, institutional and individual investors, as well as research, asset management and wealth management firms. Our unique, cross-asset class solutions equip our clients with the information and tools they need for more effective decision-making and a more efficient workflow.

Why Work For Us:

Our technology solutions and analytical insights are relied upon by every major investment bank and thousands of corporations around the world.
At Ipreo you’re not just an employee but a partner in the business, we want to hear your ideas.
The products and projects that you work with will be truly mission critical B2B software that is currently in use by our clients as part of their daily work flow.

The beautiful thing about working here is that you get the advantages of living and working in Cape Town whilst still getting experience in a truly global company.
As a development organization we work in an Agile manner (yes, with a big A), this means we have Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Developers and Testers that combine to form teams. We have Agile teams, not a Dev Team and a Test Team and a BA Team.

Tech Stack

We have 2 primary dev stacks
Java based back end with web front ends (AngularJS) connecting to either SQL or Oracle back ends.

We then have the .Net stacks, I say stacks because depending on the product it may have a C++ \ ASP.Net front end stack or it might have a newer C# \ MVC \ AngularJS stack.

We are currently investing quite heavily in our micro services architectures as well as migrating from TFS \ TFVC onto Git \ GitHub and the Atlassian tool suite.

Our Culture:

We value our employees and want them to feel comfortable in their working environment; after all we spend so much time together. You will find that everyone is very open and friendly and will strike conversation by the coffee machine.
We have an open door policy all the way up to director level, we invite you to ask as many questions as you want. Everyone will lend a helping hand and share knowledge.

Our Hiring Process:

Our process consists of 2 stages:

  1. Meeting with Gavin, our local IT Director this would be to assess a cultural fit and get a general overview of Ipreo.
  2. Is a technical interview with line management and team members.
