Senior kdb+ Contractor – Capital Markets
Location: London
Contract
I’m working on a new contract opportunity for a senior kdb+ engineer to work on complex, real-time data platforms within financial markets.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail — building and improving high-performance kdb+ systems, working with large volumes of market data and solving problems where latency, scalability and reliability are critical.
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.
I’m looking for:
- Strong commercial kdb+/q experience
- Experience building and improving production kdb+ platforms
- Good understanding of real-time and time-series data
- Strong Linux/Unix experience
- Background within capital markets, trading or investment banking
- Experience working with large, high-frequency datasets
- Comfortable owning technical decisions and working directly with stakeholders

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with Python, cloud environments, electronic trading or modern AI development tools would also be useful.
This could be a great fit for an experienced kdb+ engineer looking for a technically challenging contract where you’ll have genuine ownership over the systems you’re working on.
