A Python Developer with strong core engineering skills is required by a leading Trading House institution to support the build-out of next-generation systems. This is a quite unique opportunity because it is one where you will be working front office on requirements provided by the business and help to build them out for their front office desks.

In the future, there is an opportunity to become a Quant developer as well so with lots of room to grow within the business itself!

You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment helping Quants and Technology teams to deliver scalable trading services. This role offers the chance to influence architectural decisions and contribute to modernising core platforms used across trading.

Key Responsibilities:

Engineering high-quality backend services using core Python, developing software from scratch rather than simple scripting (experience with OOP is important)
Working closely with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver robust, well-architected solutions
Supporting the evolution of system architecture and best practices

Tech Stack & Experience Required:

Strong core Python engineering experience (3-4+ years)
Exposure to OOP is hugely beneficial
Knowledge of volatility surface (any asset class) is a must have
Solid communication skills - able to work closely with technical and non technical stakeholders
Understanding of options and front office experience is important to have to understand the business knowledge of this space

Offer:

Up to £80,000 base salary + strong bonus + dividend payments each year tax free!
Benefits
Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days remote
