About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity to work on industry-leading technology and make a meaningful impact on our core SaaS products. The BMLL Lab & Vantage products are the market-leading applications for data science and data visualisation on the largest financial datasets.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and implement new features within a collaborative team of Python & TypeScript engineers, working closely with the SaaS Product Owner. You will embrace modern AI agent tools and automated workflows to accelerate your own delivery, contribute to a culture of quality and good engineering practice, and support the growth of colleagues around you

Key Responsibilities:

• Design & Build: Contribute to the design, implementation, and evolution of scalable, reliable, and secure microservices for our core SaaS products, including Enterprise SaaS solutions across single- and multi-tenant architectures.
• AI Tooling & Productivity: Adopt and champion AI engineering tools, LLM-driven coding assistants, and automated workflows to improve your own delivery speed and code quality.
• Product Collaboration: Work closely with the Product Owner to understand complex financial data requirements and translate them into well-scoped engineering tasks. Bring a product-aware mindset and comfort navigating ambiguity to deliver clear, considered solutions.
• Cloud Operations & Observability: Contribute to AWS infrastructure including leveraging CloudWatch Logs for monitoring, diagnostics, and incident support, maintaining operational excellence across services.
• Mentorship & Peer Growth: Actively support the development of junior and mid-level engineers through thoughtful code reviews, sharing technical context, and being a reliable point of guidance. Contribute to raising the bar of engineering practice across the team without taking on a formal line management or lead responsibility.
• Quality Excellence: Write well-tested, maintainable code and contribute to CI/CD pipelines and quality standards across the team

• SaaS Architecture: Solid experience developing single-tenant and multi-tenant B2B SaaS applications using Python REST APIs and distributed microservices, including exposure to Enterprise SaaS delivery.
• AWS & Infrastructure: Practical experience with core AWS services (Cognito, Lambda, Fargate, API Gateway, S3, IAM) and Infrastructure as Code via Terraform. Familiarity with IAM least-privilege patterns and CloudWatch Logs for observability.
• PostgreSQL & Data Layer: Good working knowledge of PostgreSQL for relational data modelling, query optimization, and interacting with production database environments.
• Modern Tooling & AI Literacy: Hands-on experience using AI engineering tools (e.g. Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM APIs, or automated agent workflows) to improve day-to-day productivity.
• Leadership: Proven experience designing and delivering solutions in a fast-paced agile environment. Able to take ownership of engineering tasks end-to-end, drive progress without close supervision, and influence technical decisions constructively within a team.
• Mentorship: A genuine interest in supporting colleagues' growth — comfortable giving constructive feedback in code reviews, explaining technical decisions clearly, and helping less experienced engineers develop good habits and confidence, without needing a formal leadership title to do so.
• Navigating Ambiguity: Comfortable working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, with a tendency to reduce complexity and work towards clear, practical decisions.
• Collaboration & Communication: Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across engineering and product stakeholders, asking the right questions and keeping work aligned to outcomes.

Desirable Skills

• Data Skills: Experience in data science and financial data visualization applications, particularly using TypeScript to build complex data interfaces.
• FinTech / Capital Markets: Exposure to high-performance SaaS applications in front-office capital markets or data-intensive financial environments.
• Broader AWS Skill Set: Experience with additional AWS services such as SQS, SNS, Step Functions, EventBridge, or Secrets Manager to support event-driven, resilient architectures.
• Big Data & Analytics: Familiarity with high-scale data tools such as DuckDB, pandas, Spark, Databricks, or Snowflake.
• AI/ML Workflows: Some exposure to semantic search, vector databases, or LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex).
• Agile Delivery: Understanding of continuous delivery practices and experience optimizing local-to-cloud development environments.
• Front-End Data Skills: Proficiency in TypeScript for building data science interfaces and financial data visualisations

• Competitive salary
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Discretionary Bonus
• Pension Scheme
• Private Medical Insurance
• Work remotely abroad for up to 40 business days each year
• Life Insurance
• Childcare Nursery Scheme
• Combination of remote and London-based office working, with 2 days in the office per week.
• A yearly Well-being Physical Activity budget
• Continuous learning through funded training and challenging projects
• Collaborative culture
• Weekly team lunches
• Free Fruit, snacks, and drinks provided throughout the day (When office-based)
• Regular Team Socials
• Cycle to Work Scheme
