Senior Python Developer - Finance
London | Hybrid - 3 days per week
£700/day Inside IR35 | 12-month contract
Permanent / FTC options also available
We're working on a number of new Senior Python Developer opportunities within a major Financial Services technology environment, supporting significant investment across trading, regulatory and enterprise engineering platforms.
These are long-term hires rather than short-term backfill, with multiple teams looking to bring in experienced Python Developers who are comfortable building business-critical applications in a complex banking environment.
You'll be working closely with engineering and business stakeholders to design, build and enhance Python applications supporting a mixture of markets, regulatory and front-office technology. Depending on the team, there may also be opportunities to work with AI-assisted development tooling, security-focused applications and new Proof of Concept initiatives.
The environment is fast-paced and engineering-led, so we're looking for people who can take ownership of their work, communicate well with stakeholders and contribute beyond simply picking up development tickets.
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.
We're looking for:
- Strong commercial Python development experience
- At least a couple of years' experience working within finance environment
- Experience building enterprise-scale applications
- Financial Services / Banking experience
- Comfortable working within Agile engineering teams
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Experience across Trading, Front Office technology, Regulatory Technology, security-focused development or AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot would all be beneficial, but aren't essential.
You don't need to be an AI specialist. An interest in how AI is changing software engineering and modern development practices is more important.
The initial option is a 12-month contract at £700/day Inside IR35, working 3 days per week from a London office.
There is also flexibility for candidates who would prefer something longer term, with permanent opportunities up to £100,000 and 12-month FTC options up to £120,000 available.
