Job Description:

We are working with a highly successful FinTech firm that delivers derivative pricing tools and analytics for traders at hedge funds and investment banks. Due to sustained success, the firm is looking to add a Software Engineer to support their growth. This role suits an individual with experience in the financial space, working with large, complex codebases and agile environments. Data is central to their value proposition, making this a crucial role.

The firm operates largely remotely with weekly in-person sessions to foster their culture and support personal development. Based in London, the team is spread across the UK. Team members are trusted with responsibilities, with no micromanagement. This role involves working within a small firm dedicated to delivering derivative pricing analytics via a web app. Their clients include traders at leading hedge funds and investment banks. Their popularity stems from delivering accurate prices faster than competitors.

What we are looking for:

• Experience working with large, complex codebases and writing collaborative code
• Ability to work independently and in a team, given the remote nature of the role
• Experience with web technologies (WASM, WebGL), Typescript, Rust, and V8
• Undergraduate degree in a relevant STEM subject, such as Computer Science
• Exposure to functional programming, pair programming, and agile methodologies
• Some product knowledge within Rates/FX or Equity derivatives
• Familiarity with financial derivatives and pricing is advantageous
