Python Developer (No Financial Background Needed) | Energy Trading House - Hedge Fund Division | London Hybrid 3 days/week | Up to £65k + Bonus + Benefits
A Python Developer is required by a leading Energy Trader to support the front office of their hedge fund division. This is a quite unique opportunity because it is one where you will be working with all trading desks in a small development team with full exposure to all technology decisions.
It also does not require previous Financial Services background but an interest in it would definitely be advantageous.
You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment helping Quants and Technology teams to deliver scalable trading services. This role offers the chance to influence architectural decisions and contribute to modernising core platforms used across trading.
Key Responsibilities:
- Engineering high-quality backend services using core Python, developing software from scratch rather than simple scripting (experience with OOP is important)
- Working closely with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver robust, well-architected solutions
- Supporting the evolution of system architecture and best practices
- Helping the frontend team when needed
Tech Stack & Experience Required:
- Strong core Python engineering experience (2+ years)
- Exposure to OOP is hugely beneficial
- Knowledge of trading environments is a bonus but financial services exposure suffices
- Creating production level code is essential
- Solid communication skills - able to work closely with technical and non technical stakeholders
Offer:
- Up to £65,000 base salary + bonus (20%+)
- Benefits
- Hybrid working: 3 days in office in London, St Paul's
