Build and own trading tools and automation used daily by a busy front-office desk. You’ll work directly with traders, turn their ideas into production software, and make the desk faster and more reliable.

What you’ll do

• Design and build front-office tools, analytics, and workflow apps in Python.
• Automate repetitive desk processes and introduce AI where it adds real value.
• Own applications end-to-end: design, build, testing, monitoring, and support.
• Triage incidents and resolve issues quickly in a live trading environment.

Must-have experience

• Strong, hands-on Python development (building real tools, not just scripting).
• Proven experience in a trading / front-office environment (ideally in securities, derivatives, or securities financing).
• Solid SQL and data engineering fundamentals.
• Confidence working directly with traders and other front-office stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Front-end skills (React/JavaScript/CSS) for user-facing tools.
• Exposure to Git, CI/CD, cloud, market microstructure, PnL/risk concepts, or AI tooling.
