Fundment is a fast-growing wealth infrastructure company transforming the £3 trillion UK wealth management industry. Our modern investment platform is becoming the platform of choice for financial advisers and their clients. We’re building high-performance tools with modern technology to create a better investment experience.
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Python Software Engineer to join our product engineering team. You’ll help build and evolve the backend systems that power our platform – working with modern Python tools and frameworks to deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable services. This includes building APIs, designing backend systems, and developing internal tools that support our operations and client-facing platform.
You’ll work closely with other engineers and cross-functional teams, take ownership of complex problems, and ship production-ready code that has real business impact. You’ll also contribute to design and architecture discussions and help maintain high standards for code quality and system reliability.
This role is best suited to someone with at least 4 years’ experience in Python based environments, who enjoys working in a fast-paced setting, values ownership and responsibility, and thrives in a collaborative, supportive team where real impact is encouraged.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design, build, and maintain APIs, backend services, and internal systems that support both client-facing features and operational teams
- Develop and evolve data-driven workflows and integrations with third-party systems, including asynchronous processing and event-driven architecture
- Shape technical direction, contribute to architectural decisions, and plan for scalability, performance, and reliability
- Write clean, pragmatic code with a strong focus on maintainability, observability, and security
- Investigate complex issues across distributed systems, identify root causes, and drive long-term solutions
- Collaborate closely with Product, Operations, and fellow engineers to translate business needs into robust, well-engineered solutions
- Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and shared team practices
- Mentor peers and help grow a high-trust, high-impact engineering culture
