I’m currently working with a leading global quantitative investment firm that is expanding its engineering team in London and looking for talented Python Developers.

This is an opportunity to work in a highly technical environment where software engineering, quantitative research and technology come together to build systematic trading strategies and sophisticated financial systems.

You’ll work closely with quantitative researchers, engineers and other technical teams to develop high-quality Python systems, supporting everything from research and data analysis through to production trading.

The role:

• Develop robust, production-quality Python applications and services


• Build tooling and infrastructure supporting quantitative research and systematic trading


• Work with large datasets and complex financial/market data


• Develop scalable systems, APIs and data pipelines


• Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and software engineers


• Solve challenging problems around performance, scalability and reliability


• Contribute to architecture and engineering best practices across the platform

What they're looking for:

• Strong professional experience with Python


• Excellent software engineering fundamentals


• Experience building production-quality applications, services or data-intensive systems


• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms and software design


• Experience with data processing, distributed systems or high-performance computing is beneficial


• Experience within trading, financial markets, quantitative research or another highly technical environment is advantageous, but not essential

If you're a strong Python Engineer interested in working at the intersection of software engineering, quantitative research and systematic trading, I'd be keen to speak.
