Infrastructure Software Developer (Python) – Trading Firm – London – £140,000 + generous bonus
I'm working with a London-based trading firm that's investing heavily in how its infrastructure is built, and they're hiring a Python developer to write the software that runs it.
Established, technology-driven trading business
Small, collaborative engineering team
Real appetite to treat infrastructure as a software problem
This is a development role first and foremost. You'll sit within the infrastructure team, but your day-to-day will be designing, writing and maintaining the code and internal tools that replace manual work across the estate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be working on:
- Building and owning internal infrastructure software and tooling in Python
- Designing infrastructure-as-code frameworks used across the estate
- Writing automation for deployment, patching and configuration
- Developing tooling to improve observability and reliability
What they're looking for:
- Strong, current professional Python, with good software engineering habits (testing, code review, version control, clean design)
- Deep hands-on Linux knowledge
- A track record of building software that automates infrastructure at scale
- Solid networking and security fundamentals
- Clear views on how modern infrastructure should be engineered
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What's on offer:
- £140,000 + discretionary bonus
- Genuine ownership of the codebase and influence from day one
- Strong benefits package
- No finance or trading experience required
If you're a software developer who enjoys working close to infrastructure, or an Infrastructure, Platform or DevOps engineer who spends most of your time writing code, whether at a trading firm, Big Tech or any large-scale environment, this is a role worth a conversation.
