Python Software Engineer London, England
Job description
Help our trading business build a Front Office risk calculation platform, using the latest cloud-based technologies and distributed stream techniques. Our trading technology division have embarked upon a greenfield programme which will deliver a new risk platform, capable of providing real-time as well as end of day risk calculations across all asset classes.
We’re building this platform in-house, with a team of dedicated and highly skilled Engineers. You will be working with the latest technologies including AWS, Docker and Kubernetes and interfacing directly with the business. This platform will be used by our primary revenue generators. If you have worked in a similar environment that would be useful but isn’t essential.
You will be:
delivering well designed, testable, and efficient code
contributing to all phases of the development lifecycle
architecting and building solutions from requirements through to delivery
engaging with stakeholders across our global team including business users
enhancing and maintaining the existing code base
We anticipate to excel in this role, you will ideally have:
Python development skills with at least a couple of years of professional experience
good knowledge of object-oriented analysis and common design patterns
hands-on experience with source control systems such as git
hands-on experience with build and dependency management tools
a willingness to work with various technologies
good interpersonal skills
It would be a bonus if you’re familiar with:
Cloud platforms (AWS, Google, Azure), Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes
SQL/NoSQL databases and service-oriented architecture
Experience working in a Linux development environment
Hands-on experience with basic shell scripting and Python
In this role you will be able to see first-hand the positive impact your work has, how it supports revenue growth and operational efficiencies, and how we as a firm respond to external challenges and opportunities.
We operate in a flat structure. The members of the team are encouraged to take ownership and accountability of their work, with the empowerment to collaborate with senior members of the business and identify new opportunities.
We encourage our team members to play multiple roles; from business analysis and requirements gathering to delivery and risk management. Through this process our team gains a better understanding of the process of product delivery and has an opportunity to develop different skills and explore different career paths.
The team operates a hybrid working approach, making the most of the benefits of both office-based collaboration and remote working.
Having a Learning Mindset is a key value of our group, and we support our staff by giving them access to a variety of learning resources and industry wide accreditations.
