Junior Python Developer
Remote | Permanent
Nigel Frank International is working with a growing trading technology business to recruit a Junior Python Developer.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career developer to work on the software that powers live trading strategies. You will join a small technical team, work closely with experienced engineers, traders, and researchers, and gradually take ownership of components as your confidence and experience grow.
You do not need previous trading-industry experience. What matters most is strong Python capability, a genuine interest in building reliable systems, and the ability to work independently while communicating clearly with others.
What you will be doing
- Develop strategy components and shared Python libraries from designs and specifications created by traders and researchers.
- Extend integrations with trading venues and brokers, including new endpoints, order types, and improved error handling across REST and WebSocket APIs.
- Investigate issues in live systems, including dropped connections, unexpected API responses, and data-quality problems.
- Build and improve dashboards, logging, and visibility into how trading strategies and systems are performing.
- Write tests, review code, and improve the areas of the codebase you work on.
- Work alongside senior engineers initially, before taking greater ownership of systems and components.
