The Role:

This is a build-heavy quant engineering role sitting close to electronic trading, focused on creating the infrastructure that allows research teams to test and scale trading ideas properly.

• Design and build scalable frameworks used to test and validate trading strategies across asset classes

• Work closely with quant researchers to translate model ideas into robust, production-grade tooling

• Improve performance, stability and automation across the research and backtesting environment

• Partner with engineering and infrastructure teams to ensure systems are reliable and fit for scale

• Contribute to the evolution of the wider quant platform, including new tooling and greenfield components

What You Bring:

• Strong Java engineering background with experience building high-performance systems

• Solid understanding of system design, including distributed or cloud-based architectures

• Experience working in a quantitative, data-heavy, or trading-related environment

• Strong delivery track record, able to move quickly without compromising engineering quality

• Comfortable working across teams, translating loosely defined problems into working solutions

The Package:

£120k–£170k base plus discretionary bonus and full benefits. This role offers flexible working in London. The team is well-funded and continues to invest in tooling and platform build-out.
