Data & AI Developer - Analyst
Bertrange,
Luxembourg
Palana is a Luxembourg-based advisory, managed services and technology firm serving the financial industry. We work alongside asset managers, asset servicers, banks and financial institutions, helping them design and build processes and systems that streamline, simplify and accelerate data flows.
As a Data & AI Developer, you will join a team where developers and financial analysts work side by side on the automation platform that runs Palana's fund data operations and regulatory reporting. You will work alongside experienced colleagues on Python automations, FastAPI web applications and Azure-hosted services, combining software development, data engineering and financial domain knowledge. The code you write processes client regulatory data, so reliability, testing and clear documentation matter from your first week.
You need to be curious, structured and comfortable reading code you did not write. To be successful, you will have strong problem-solving skills, a hands-on mindset and a genuine appetite for learning both new technologies and the investment fund industry they serve.
In return, you will enjoy strong support from your team mates, in a company where work flexibility, coaching and caring for people are part of the foundations of the firm.
