Quantitative Developer, Systematic Trading – London, UK

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Python developer to join the new Quantitative Systematic Team here at Engelhart. Based in the London office, we are a small team comprising quant researchers and developers, building a portfolio of data-driven trading strategies and underlying technical infrastructure.

The role requires strong Python and mathematical skills, along with the ability to deliver robust code that will run our strategies. From a programming perspective, the role offers numerous exciting challenges to solve and learn from, including performance optimization when dealing with large volumes of data, building cloud-native applications, and developing versatile reporting and visualization frameworks.

As this is a greenfield development project, the role also provides exposure to all stages of systematic trading; from data ingestion to forecasting, portfolio construction, execution, and reporting.

About You

This person will be an experienced developer, comfortable working directly with stakeholders in a highly commercial environment. An understanding of the underlying mathematics would be beneficial for this individual, though a lack of prior experience in finance would not necessarily be a problem for a successful candidate.

In addition, we are looking for somebody with the following experience and skills:

• Around 2 to 5 years of experience in a similar role.
• Strong Python skills.
• Experience with the Python data ecosystem, specifically pandas.
• Knowledge of cloud technologies, ideally AWS and Azure.
• Familiarity with CI solutions.
• Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is a plus
• Experience in finance is beneficial, particularly in commodities.
  
  

What we offer

• Competitive compensation and participation in Engelhart’s discretionary bonus plan.
• 25 days of annual holiday entitlement, excluding UK public holidays.
• Robust benefits package such as Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, pension contribution match, and supplemental benefits partially subsidised by the Company.
• Eligibility to receive external and internal training in accordance with our Training & Development Policy.
  
  

We believe in inclusivity and are therefore dedicated to ensuring all employees – across gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, life experience, background and more – feel welcome and included in the company. We promote diversity because we believe it is essential to our ability to think holistically.
