Job description

Principal Engineer - Hybrid - London - Up to £180k base + Equity + Bonus

We are working with a scientifically-driven asset management firm, researching and developing state-of-the-art scientific investment processes.

These apply to investors, both as an alternative and a complement to the traditional discretionary bond markets.

They're a well-established, but fairly early-stage (less than 200 employeed) trading firm based in London, dedicated to becoming a leading figure.

Looking for a Principal Engineer, need a \"go to person\" for Finance & Tech questions. This will be a nice mixture of leadership/hands-on responsibilities within their Engineering function, contributing to a broad range of front-office and systems-based projects.

Tech: Python (and Rust, prior experience not mandatory, but willingness to learn).

Compensation package north of £180k base, with equity from day one and a bonus on top.

They have one of the best cultures in the industry including lots of flexibility and an office that people choose to go to. Given their relatively early stage, they're massive on ownership and offer you the ability to set the standards for the engineering teams.

Note: if you haven't received a reply within 3 days, your application was possibly and unfortunately not accepted.
