About 21 Postings are 12-month contracts through an external payroll company. Eight are for graduates, interns, trainees, or working students.

What they look for

Every Posting places the role in wealth management or private banking. Most ask you to work with stakeholders (the people a piece of work affects) in other teams and countries.

English is the company language, and more than half of the Postings name it. About one in five names German. The Frankfurt Postings are written in German. Client roles in Asia often ask for Mandarin. The company expects you to speak the language of the clients that you serve.

About a third of the Postings ask for a university degree. Risk and quantitative roles want a degree in a subject such as mathematics or physics.

Technology Postings ask for many years of experience. One senior full-stack role wants seven years of Java, with Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Kafka, and React or Angular. Engineers work in agile teams. Machine learning roles want Python and experience with large language models. A product owner role wants five years in product work and knowledge of portfolio accounting.

Client and compliance roles ask for precise work and personal integrity. Many Postings in Singapore list standards of conduct, such as honesty, fair dealing with customers, and compliance with the law. Compliance roles want knowledge of the KYC and AML rules.
