Technical Business Analyst – Python-Focused/Trading Systems

We’re hiring a technical business analyst for a global market leading hedge fund who can speak both business and code—especially Python. You’ll be embedded with quant developers, traders, and engineers, driving the design and delivery of tech-heavy projects across research, trading, and infrastructure.

If you’ve got a strong grasp of systems, love solving real-world problems with code, and can turn messy requirements into clean, scalable solutions—this role is for you.

The Mission

You’ll help shape how trading and research systems evolve—getting under the hood of business processes, scoping out what's needed, and collaborating closely with Python devs and platform teams to build the right tools. You'll work on everything from data pipelines and real-time analytics to trading infrastructure and automation frameworks.

This isn’t a pure PM or requirements-gathering role—this is about getting hands-on with tech, understanding the guts of systems, and driving real impact at the platform level.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partnering with dev teams to analyse business needs and propose Python-based solutions.
• Writing, reviewing, and refining specs with enough technical depth to be developer-ready.
• Designing and supporting tools, systems, and workflows used by quants, traders, and ops.
• Digging into systems (code, logs, APIs, data) to help triage issues and spot improvements.
• Prioritizing features, tracking delivery, and keeping comms tight across global teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong technical problem solver with Python experience (data processing, automation, or systems integration), as well as SQL, JIRA & Excel.
• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar from Russell Group/'Global' top university.
• 3-6 years of technical business analytics experience within financial services.
• Background in software or systems analysis - comfortable discussing architecture and design with engineers.
• Sharp documentation and communication skills—you can translate between code and business logic.
• Solid understanding of SDLC and Agile/Waterfall project workflows.
• Experience with market data, trading platforms, or financial instruments like equities, options, or fixed income.
