Java​/Python Software Engineer

Our client is a global financial services firm investing in a next-generation capital markets platform. The technology team operates with a flat structure, meaning engineers work directly with traders and operational users rather than through layers of management or product abstraction.

Instead of being tied to a single application, you’ll contribute across a wide range of projects spanning automation, data pipelines, system integrations and core trading workflows.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary and full benefits package
• Flat team structure with direct access to the business
• Exposure to front-office trading systems and real-time workflows
• Opportunity to work across multiple projects and technologies
• High-impact role where your work is visible and used daily
• Collaborative, engineering-led culture
• Office-based role with flexibility for 1 day WFH per week

What You’ll Do

• Design and build components of a front-to-back trading platform
• Develop backend services and ETL pipelines using Java and Python
• Automate workflows across trade processing, reconciliation and reporting
• Integrate internal systems with external vendors and market data providers
• Work closely with traders and operations to deliver practical, production-ready solutions
• Contribute across the full development lifecycle, from design to deployment

What You’ll Need

• 2–7 years’ experience using Java and/or Python in a commercial environment
• Strong understanding of databases (e.g. Postgre
  
  SQL or similar)
• Comfortable working in Linux-based environments
• Clear communication skills and interest in understanding how the business operates

Nice to have:

• Experience with Git or other version control tools
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Experience integrating with external or vendor APIs
• Capital markets or trading systems exposure (securities lending, repo, delta-1, derivatives)

This is an ideal role for a Software Engineer who wants to join a lean, high-impact technology team building a modern trading platform used directly by front-office and operations teams. This is a hands-on engineering role offering broad exposure, technical ownership, and visibility across the full trade lifecycle.
