Job Description

Principal Python Engineer, Hedge Fund industry, to £150K plus benefits plus options hybrid

This is a very rare opportunity to have an unusually high level of influence in the shaping of a very complex SaaS product in the PE (Private Equity) industry.

With offices in London and New York, this award-winning, fast-growing fintech company is revolutionising (that’s a big word, but they are)! the Hedge Fund industry.

They solve complicated problems in this highly complex domain, using modern product development practices executed by some of the best engineers in the industry, with high levels of innovation.

Who we are looking for…

Product / market fit is already established and the company is growing steadily. Hedge Fund / Private Equity (or even finance experience) is NOT a pre-requisite (we’re happy for you to learn on the job)! but we do need someone who is smart and keen to learn about the industry.

Acting as number two to the CTO, you’ll be working closely with the C-Suite, who actively embrace feedback and will give you lots of freedom / autonomy. You will have real influence over the tech direction.

The stack:

  • Python

  • Nuxt (Node & Vue.js)

  • PostgreSQL (though we prefer to use S3 and/or DynamoDB when we can)

  • AWS (ECS, Lambda, Event Bridge, DynamoDB, S3, Aurora)

  • Terraform, GitHub Actions

  • Architecture is largely Event-Driven

What you’ll do:

Splitting your time between hands-on coding and leading the team, you’ll provide mentorship and leadership, particularly to Senior Engineers, and give guidance on system and data architecture, helping to shape the future of the platform.

You’ll influence technical direction, facilitate discussions, and occasionally run training sessions, helping to raise the overall standard of the team.

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • A track record of building maintainable, scalable services and systems

  • Significant experience (10 years plus) in Software Engineering with very strong Python skills

  • A natural aptitude for mentoring, leadership, and nurturing the careers of those working with you (Associate, Mid-Level and Senior Engineers)

About the company:

This is a fast-growing (yet very stable) FinTech, offering the excitement of scale-up growth with the security of a unique long-term vision and solid, organic sales growth.

The company is solving real problems and operates within a niche business sector where they are revolutionising the industry. As they are in an expansion phase, you’d be very well placed for future growth.

Why join us:

  • Career impact: We are growing fast and can offer an unusual degree of opportunity and freedom. You could be the biggest single influence on the system we build.

  • Learning: Gain exposure to the finance industry while working on a modern tech stack.

  • Colleagues: Building a top-tier team of skilled engineers and excellent colleagues.

  • Focus: Management’s willingness to take feedback from anyone ensures problems are resolved quickly.

Benefits include generous holiday allowance, life insurance, pension, and share options.

Please note, we do not have a license to apply for visas, so if you’re on a spouse visa or similar and need an extension in the future, we cannot sponsor you.
