Data Engineer | London | Systematic Trading
“Most data roles don’t sit this close to the trading desk. This one does.”
At Tempest Vane Partners, we’re partnering with a high-performing, highly selective quantitative investment firm to hire a Data Engineer into a team building the data backbone of live trading strategies.
This isn’t a back-office data role. Your work will directly influence how trading decisions are made in real time.
Why this role stands out
- Work on live trading systems, not just pipelines feeding dashboards
- Handle high-volume, time-sensitive market data in production
- Collaborate daily with quants and traders
- High ownership, low bureaucracy, strong technical standards
What you’ll actually be doing
- Designing and evolving scalable data platforms that support systematic trading
- Building systems that ingest, transform, and deliver large-scale, real-time datasets
- Improving data reliability, latency, and performance across the stack
- Bringing structure to complex data ecosystems spanning multiple sources
- Solving production-critical problems in a fast-moving environment
What they’re looking for
- Experience building robust data systems in performance-driven environments
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and a pragmatic approach to delivery
- Comfortable working with large, complex datasets at scale
- Familiarity with modern data tooling, distributed systems, or cloud environments
- Someone who enjoys being close to the business, not removed from it
(Prior exposure to trading or financial data is helpful, but not essential.)
What’s on offer
- Highly competitive base + strong bonus potential
- A genuinely front-office aligned engineering role
- Exposure to real-time trading systems and decision-making
- A tight-knit, high-calibre team where your work has an immediate impact
