About the Client: We are partnering with a globally recognized quantitative and systematic investment manager that operates across diverse liquid asset classes worldwide. Driven by data, advanced research, and cutting-edge technology, our client applies a purely scientific approach to investing. Their engineering culture is flat, highly collaborative, and heavily invested in innovation. Here, technologists are not a cost center; they are the core engine driving high-quality returns and solving the most complex challenges in global financial markets.
The Role & Landscape: This is a unique, high-impact hybrid position that seamlessly blends Site Reliability Engineering with advanced Python Development within a mission-critical Risk and PnL technology team.
- Engineering & Automation: Architect and develop robust automated tools to investigate and capture data quality problems using advanced object-oriented Python.
- UI Development: Build and enhance sleek, functional user interfaces using modern Python frameworks like Plotly Dash and Streamlit.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Manage, support, and scale the Risk and PnL application infrastructure, taking heavy ownership of AWS EKS environments.
- System Reliability: Troubleshoot complex system anomalies, build CI/CD pipelines, and monitor performance to ensure zero-downtime operations.
- Cross-Functional Impact: Liaise directly with traders, quantitative researchers, and external infrastructure teams to optimize system reliability and business outcomes.
What We Are Looking For:
- 3 to 9 years of professional software development or SRE experience.
- Solid domain knowledge in Risk and PnL systems within a financial services context.
- Advanced proficiency in Python, specifically with strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and extensive use of Pandas DataFrames.
- Hands-on experience developing UIs with Plotly Dash, Streamlit, or similar Python frameworks.
- Solid foundational knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS strongly preferred) and container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS, Docker).
- Experience with REST APIs, SQL Server, and monitoring/logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, InfluxDB).
- A pragmatic, commercially-oriented mindset with excellent problem-solving capabilities.
Why Apply To This Role: Step out of standard maintenance roles and into a position where your code directly impacts global trading operations. You will gain exposure to elite systematic trading infrastructure, work alongside some of the brightest engineering minds in the industry, and enjoy a healthy work-life balance championed by leadership. Expect a dynamic, greenfield-rich environment backed by top-tier compensation and comprehensive benefits.
