Lively, positive spirit of a start-up, with the stability of a longer-established player, this leading quant firm is looking for a pragmatic Production Engineer to take ownership of trading and operational issues, ensuring processes are scalable, fault-tolerant and fully automated.

Developers here are highly valued and well-rewarded for hard work, and as a result, are some of the brightest minds from across the trading, tech and start-up industries.

This role will involve working with colleagues across the business, writing and maintaining a complex Python infrastructure, plus maintaining a robust pre-release automated testing process.

You will also identify and fix issues which prevent trading or deployment of new code.

Here, technology is recognised as being key to their continued success, where traders and software engineers work on their own proprietary trading algorithms.

If you would value having the autonomy to pursue your own projects to help the team’s trading, and manage your own workload, this role would be perfect for you.
