No finance knowledge expected - they teach it. 26 days annual leave, private health/dental/optical, income protection, pension, gym subsidy, catered lunch daily. This suits an engineer who wants ownership early, likes performance-critical problems, and would rather learn the market from the inside than sit in a large corporate engineering function.
