Are you a technically minded graduate or early-career professional with an interest in trading systems, execution workflows, and data analysis? A fast-growing and well-backed fintech firm is looking for a Graduate Operations / Product Engineer to join their London office. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the Head of Execution and gain deep exposure to real-world trading infrastructure and performance analytics.

• Work side-by-side with senior stakeholders in a dynamic, learning-rich environment
• Gain hands-on experience with real trading systems and performance analytics
• Accelerate your development across technology, product, and trading domains

This is an ideal role for someone excited to get under the hood of a sophisticated trading platform, not afraid to roll up their sleeves, and eager to make a meaningful impact early in their career.
