Python Developer | Energy Trading House | London Hybrid | Up to £65k + Bonus + Benefits
A Python Developer is required by a leading Energy Trader to support the front office of their hedge fund division. This is a quite unique Python Developer opportunity because it is one where you will be working with all trading desks in a small development team with full exposure to all technology decisions within their Python realm.
It also does not require previous Financial Services background but an interest in it would definitely be advantageous.
You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment helping Quants and Technology teams to deliver scalable trading services on Python. This Python Developer role offers the chance to influence architectural decisions and contribute to modernising core platforms used across trading.
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
