Contract Python Developer (Python Primary / C# Secondary) – Investment Management
Location: London (2–3 days per week onsite)
Contract: Initial 12 months (with a strong likelihood of extending to 2–3 years)
We’re supporting a leading buy-side Investment Management client on a long-term technology transformation programme and are looking for an experienced Python Developer to join an established engineering team.
About the Role
This role is best suited to someone with a strong Python background who has worked within Financial Services and is comfortable supporting and maintaining applications built in both Python and C#/.NET. This is not a pure.NET role—Python is the primary technology.
Requirements
Please only apply if you meet the following criteria:
- Strong commercial experience developing applications in Python (this is the primary requirement)
- Experience working with C#/.NET in a commercial environment (you do not need to be a.NET expert but should be confident maintaining and debugging existing.NET applications)
- Strong SQL skills, including writing and optimising complex queries and working with relational databases
- Previous experience working within Financial Services (Investment Management, Asset Management, Hedge Fund, Wealth Management, or Capital Markets)
- Happy to work 2–3 days per week onsite in London
- Available for a long-term contract engagement
