    Job description

    We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance, by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity.

    From our London HQ, we unite world-class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution - because the best ideas take time to evolve.  Together we’re building a world-class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas.

The team provides both live and historical views of data, supporting critical workflows across the firm.
    The vision is to create a simple, robust and user-friendly system that connects data providers and consumers, enabling them to seamlessly share data and analytics.

    Key responsibilities of the role include:

    • Designing, building and evolving production-grade trading platforms and services end-to-end
    • Optimising software performance, throughput and efficiency at scale
    • Contributing to the reliability and operational excellence of critical systems
    • Applying strong software engineering practices across testing, code quality, automation and observability
    • Participating in a shared production support rotation, responding to incidents, troubleshooting runtime issues and driving improvements

    Who are we looking for?

    • Strong competency with at least one typed language such as Java, C# or C++
    • Experience optimising software performance or efficiency

    Desirable:

    • Experience with distributed software systems
    • Experience with data processing or data serving systems
    • Experience using Rust, C#, Python, Parquet, Arrow, Delta Lake or Kubernetes

    Why join us?

    • Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus
    • Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar
    • 35 days annual leave
    • 9% company pension contributions
    • Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance
    • Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance
    • Cycle-to-work scheme
    • Monthly company events
