Senior Engineer - Quant Trading (Outside IR35)
I'm looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a leading Hedge Fund in London, the role will start initially remote till further notice. This is a 6 months rolling contract, outside of IR35 and remote on - boarding. You will have the opportunity to work on exciting greenfield projects with traders, data engineers and data scientists - budget signed off till 2022!
This role might suit someone who considers themselves a Polyglot who has worked on quant trading systems in the past or a senior developer who has strong mathematical background around commodities trading.
This role will support traders and analysts by providing data gathering and manipulation tools, and developing models to facilitate supply/demand and price forecasting. This will be a fast-paced and dynamic environment where needs will be changing on a frequent basis.
Working in a collaborative way with the wider IT community, particularly around leveraging infrastructure and working within the control framework is essential. The ideal senior software developer will have a flexible mindset and a strong track record working within commodity trading. This role will be an application developer tasked to deliver tools and applications for use directly on the trading desk. It will involve developing tools directly on top of and within an Azure cloud platform. The role is part of a small team of strong software engineers so there is an expectation that it will involve designing, building, testing and releasing small applications and data handling tools end-to-end, independently. So a senior developer who has experience building a system on power or energy markets would be best suited for the position.
Therefore we are looking for the best senior software engineers who have strong commodities trading experience. The ideal senior engineer will have strong knowledge on intraday trading or power markets in Europe.
