Junior Python Developer
Remote | Permanent | £25,000–£35,000
Nigel Frank International is working with a growing trading technology business to recruit a Junior Python Developer.
This is a great opportunity for an entry-level, graduate, or junior developer to work on the software behind live trading strategies. You will join a small technical team, work alongside experienced engineers, traders, and researchers, and gradually take ownership of systems and components as your skills develop.
Previous trading experience is not required. The key requirement is strong Python capability and a genuine interest in building reliable, production-quality software.
What you’ll be doing
- Build Python components and shared libraries from designs and specifications created by traders and researchers.
- Extend integrations with trading venues and brokers, including REST and WebSocket APIs.
- Investigate live-system issues, such as dropped connections, unexpected API responses, and data-quality problems.
- Help improve dashboards, logging, and visibility across trading systems.
- Write tests, review code, and improve the areas of the codebase you work on.
- Work closely with senior engineers initially, progressing towards ownership of your own components.
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 we’re looking for
- Entry-level, graduate, or junior developer, ideally with up to three years’ commercial experience.
- Strong Python skills are essential — beyond basic scripting, with evidence of building applications, contributing to a larger codebase, or completing substantial personal projects.
- Working understanding of SQL and databases.
- Exposure to HTTP APIs and ideally WebSockets or streaming data.
- Comfortable using Git and collaborating with other developers.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a methodical approach to debugging.
- Clear communication skills, curiosity, and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
