Job Description

Salary: up to £200k + bonus
Summary
Leading HFT fund looking for pragmatic Python engineers to join their Production Engineering group in their agile, London-based application team.
This role offers the opportunity to work directly with users, building clean, easy-to-use solutions for complex real-world problems. You'll be involved in every aspect of software engineering, from understanding users' needs and gathering requirements, to system architecture design and coding. You'll also be exposed to a wide range of technologies: Python and Go to build application back-ends, Django/Flask/Dash/React for the front ends, and others including Kubernetes, Kafka, and more.
Unique in their field, this global firm combines the lively, positive spirit of a start-up with the stability of a longer-established player. If you love working on technically challenging problems, learning new things in a collaborative, supportive environment, this role would be perfect for you.
Requirements
  • Minimum 2+ years' experience
  • Strong hands-on Python programming experience, keen to learn new technologies
  • Good understanding of Linux administration
  • Passionate about writing quality, testable code
  • Skilled at managing priorities, able to switch between multiple projects at once
  • Bonus points for trading industry experience

NB: Please do not apply if you are a fresh graduate.
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary & bonus
  • Enormous opportunity to grow, learn and have a significant business impact
  • Contributions are rewarded; career progression supported
  • Unique culture where you can fulfil your potential through collaboration and mutual respect

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.
