OtherSenior Backend Engineer

We're working with a specialist investment technology firm that is building and scaling the technology behind its investment and trading operations.

This is a great opportunity for a strong backend engineer who wants more than just another feature-development role.

You'll work on systems handling real-time market data, portfolio accounting, risk, performance analytics and trading operations - with data flowing directly from major exchanges and financial data providers.

The engineering team is intentionally small, which means you'll have significant ownership and influence. You'll help design systems, make architecture decisions, write production code, deploy what you build, and see your work used by the investment team every day.

Build backend services supporting portfolio monitoring, accounting, risk and investment operations

Design reliable APIs and internal services using Python

Build data pipelines handling high-volume market and trading data

Integrate with major exchanges and financial data providers through REST and WebSocket APIs

Work with market data at tick-level granularity

Build systems that calculate NAV, returns, risk and performance metrics

Design and evolve PostgreSQL databases for performance and reliability

Improve observability, monitoring, alerting and production reliability

Deploy and operate your own services in AWS

Participate in system design and make architectural decisions — including understanding and explaining the trade-offs
