Software Engineer - Realtime Quant Frameworks

We operate an advanced systematic client trading platform. Its systems are fully automated, globally distributed and operate at extreme scale — executing millions of trades per day. Ensuring platform resilience, uptime and operational efficiency is mission-critical.

As a Software Engineer in Realtime Quant Frameworks, you’ll play a key role in helping our quant researchers move faster across our large scale compute estate — building systems that reduce the complexity of running workloads across massive compute farms and providing real-time support to keep research running smoothly and efficiently.

A key part of the role focuses on our core scheduling platform, written in F#, which distributes huge workloads across the compute farm and is accessed via Python and.NET SDKs — the main interface our quants use day-to-day.

You’ll contribute to a TypeScript/React UI, backed by an F# ASP.NET service with a Postgres database on Kubernetes, giving real-time visibility into workload progress.

Beyond that, you’ll help extend our tooling and frameworks that enable quants to build and deploy research platforms and express computations over streaming data — creating flexible, high-performance systems that go well beyond the quant finance domain.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

An extensive background in software engineering, ideally in distributed or high-performance systems

Experience with F#, C#, Python or similar languages in production environments

Experience working with Python in research or data-driven workflows

Familiarity with modern backend and cloud-native technologies including Kubernetes and relational databases

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work closely with quantitative researchers

Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus

Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar

35 days’ annual leave

9% company pension contributions

Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance

Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance

Cycle-to-work scheme

Monthly company events
