Python Engineer/Developer/Programmer – Python, SQL, AWS, ETL, Data Pipelines, Equities, Front Office, Investment Management

 A Senior Python Engineer is urgently sought after by one of our leading Investment Management clients to join on a contract basis.

The position will sit within Front Office Equities Technology, specifically working on their bespoke Portfolio Management platforms, helping to both modernise the applications and ramp up their exposure across the wider business.

 To do this, you will work directly alongside both the core Portfolio Management Development function and the Equities Portfolio Management business for the development of their data services. This includes designing and developing new data pipelines (for ingestion and distribution) as well as new reporting/dashboard services, in addition to core development of the platform itself.  

 To be successful, you will require the following:

  • A strong background in Python development, displaying a strong grasp on Data Engineering concepts.

  • Good experience in SQL engineering, displaying excellent understanding of data structures, relational schema & joins and ETL principles.

  • Experienced in the building of both Python and SQL-based reports and dashboards for business users.

  • Any exposure to cloud-based development (preferably AWS) is highly beneficial.

  • A proven ability to engage confidently with both internal and external stakeholders across the business and technology.

  • Ideally you will have a good understanding of the Front Office lifecycle (Equities or Fixed Income), with any knowledge of Portfolio Management being extremely beneficial.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented Python Engineer to join a truly tier 1 Investment Manager, delivering high quality Portfolio Management solutions within Front Office Equities.

Please note, this position will be offered as a Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) and for an initial period of 12 months.
