• Optimise data pipelines, automate complex workflows, and enhance system efficiency

💰 Top-Tier Compensation – Strong base, performance-driven bonuses, and clear progression

✅ What You Bring

🎓 Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

💻 Strong Python experience in high-performance or data-intensive environments

📊 Understanding of financial markets (equities, fixed income, or derivatives is a plus)

🧠 Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to communicate across technical and non-technical teams
