Software Engineer
About Us
Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Our asset-light, highly diversified business model enables us to adapt quickly to shifting market conditions.
We’ve built disciplined, multidisciplinary teams, combining fundamental analysis, quantitative research, and advanced weather intelligence underpinned by robust risk management practices, powerful technology, and operational excellence. Our global teams bring diverse backgrounds and decades of experience, working collaboratively across products and competencies.
In 2024, Engelhart acquired Trailstone, a global energy trading and technology company. This acquisition expanded our capabilities into physical natural gas trading across North America—a critical fuel for the energy transition—while reinforcing our R&D, analytics, and proprietary technology for risk management and value optimisation in renewable power.
We embody four core values:
- Performance
- Agility
- Collaboration
- Entrepreneurship
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a Python Software Engineer with approximately five years of experience to deepen expertise in commodities trading while joining Engelhart’s Risk, Finance & Compliance technology function as part of the Engelhart Technology team.
Only expect high autonomy, direct engagement with stakeholders and business users, and full end-to-end ownership—from requirement gathering and solution design to production deployment and support.
Collaborating with a small, agile team, this role offers an unique chance to shape Engelhart’s technology landscape, delivering impactful, scalable solutions that underpin data-driven decision-making. The team thrives on delivery focus, open collaboration, and continuous improvement.
