Quantitative Developer (Python)
Location: London
Industry: Hedge Fund
Required Skills: Python, Research & Trading Technology
Building great trading strategies requires great engineering.
We're looking for an experienced Python Developer to work alongside Quantitative Researchers, designing and building the software that underpins research, analytics, and live trading. You'll join a highly technical environment where engineering quality, performance, and collaboration are valued just as highly as innovation.
This isn't a traditional application development role. You'll help create the tools, workflows, and platforms that enable researchers to move quickly from ideas to production, taking ownership throughout the full software lifecycle.
What you'll be doing
- Partnering with Quantitative Researchers to build software supporting research and trading
- Developing scalable Python applications and workflows
- Designing high-performance solutions for processing and analyzing large datasets
- Collaborating with engineering teams to build reusable software components
- Taking ownership from design through to deployment and ongoing improvement
- Supporting business-critical systems within a modern engineering environment
