London

Summary:

My client is a leading quantitative investment management firm trading evolving portfolios across the world's major liquid asset classes. Technology teams work in a stimulating and varied environment, where both cross-team and cross-functional interaction is essential for the firm's continued success.

Now looking to expand their Platform Operations team with a highly motivated Python Developer to contribute to and lead engineering projects for their best-in-class quantitative investment platform. You'll work closely with Strategy Managers and Researchers to develop tools & frameworks that facilitate the day-to-day operation of trading pipelines.

They use Amazon S3 for data storage, Python libraries (e.g. Pandas) for data manipulation, Kafka for event-based data transformations, which are deployed using Octopus Deploy. Familiarity with some or all of these will be beneficial but not essential.

Requirements:

  • 1-2 years of Python programming experience in a commercial setting
  • A desire to work in a hybrid technical and operational role at the heart of a dynamic data-centric business
  • Outstanding problem-solving skills and collaborative communication abilities
  • Keen interest in quantitative finance and proficiency in handling financial data
  • Strong academic background, with minimum Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics (or equivalent technical field)

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary + generous benefits
  • Regular social and sports events
  • Collaborative and creative culture, with a healthy work-life balance
  • Top-notch offices in Knightsbridge (gym, on-site barista, breakfast & lunch, games room, roof terrace)

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.
