Python Developer

This role is designed to strengthen core engineering functions, address current bandwidth limitations, and maintain consistent delivery within a defined multi-year funding framework.

The ideal candidate will have over 5 years of strong experience in Python development (Java experience is a plus), with a proven track record of designing and building complex server-side components. Experience within Financial Services is essential, particularly in markets environments such as front-office derivatives risk systems, pre-trade/origination platforms, or post-trade management systems.

A degree in Computer Science or an equivalent field is required. Candidates should possess a solid understanding of Agile and Lean software development methodologies, along with familiarity with associated tools and practices.

Excellent communication and presentation skills are critical, with the ability to clearly and concisely articulate problems and solutions.

Key technical and domain knowledge includes:

Familiarity with the Quartz technology stack

Strong understanding of pricing and risk concepts, including structuring and pricing of derivative products

In-depth knowledge of derivatives risk, including Greeks and scenario analysis

Expertise in equity derivatives products such as futures, options, and convertibles
