• Building out a platform for the Risk Division
• Experience on data side with something like Databricks is a plus
• Working closely with Front Office and Risk to gather requirements and deliver robust solutions
• Helping centralise data for improved reporting and visualisation
• Collaborating with stakeholders across trading desks

Tech Stack \& Experience Required:

• Strong Python skills in a trading environment
• Experience with NumPy, Pandas, Polars
• Exposure to AWS for cloud deployment is a big bonus
• Excellent communication skills – must be confident working closely with stakeholders

Offer:

Up to £140,000 base salary \+ discretionary bonus, with potential to exceed based on performance
