Python Developer

Description:

A Python Developer with some Frontend experience is required by a leading Asset Management institution to support the front to back office teams in the business. This is a quite unique opportunity because it is one where you will be working with all trading desks in a small development team with full exposure to all technology decisions.

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
• Helping the frontend team when needed

Tech Stack & Experience Required:

• Strong core Python engineering experience (2+ years)
• Exposure to OOP is hugely beneficial
• Some React.js exposure is important
• Knowledge of trading environments is a bonus but financial services exposure suffices
• DevOps knowledge is a big plus
• Solid communication skills - able to work closely with technical and non technical stakeholders
