Software Engineer (Python | React)

This Software Engineer role is ideal for a mid to senior level professional who enjoys working in an Agile, fast-paced, and collaborative environment, solving complex full-stack engineering and system integration challenges, and working within a global investment and financial technology context. The right person will recognize this role as a natural next step based on their current experience and career stage.

Why This Role

This role offers the opportunity to build green-field systems from the ground up, exposure to modern cloud, AI/ML, and distributed system architectures, and the chance to develop end-to-end full-stack ownership and design expertise. Unlike similar roles, this position focuses on transforming legacy systems into an integrated, scalable platform using best-in-class technologies.

The Role: Software Engineer

In this role, you will spend most of your time designing, building, testing, and deploying full-stack applications across the software development lifecycle. You will work closely with the London-based Digital Solutions team, internal investment research stakeholders, and cross-functional engineering teammates and be responsible for delivering outcomes related to modernizing business systems, enabling data integration, and building scalable analytics and reporting solutions. This role balances hands-on engineering and architecture design with collaboration in a distributed, Agile team, providing clarity on expectations from day one.

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of professional experience in full-stack software engineering
• Strong backend development expertise in Python (ideally Django/DRF) and modern frontend development using TypeScript and React

Benefits & Environment

Benefits for this role include remote working, collaboration with global teams including daily UK overlap, continuous learning through exposure to AI/ML and modern cloud technologies, competitive salary with discretionary bonus and comprehensive benefits (healthcare, pension, and more), and a working environment that supports inclusion, collaboration, professional growth, and work-life balance.
