Job description

We are building a data engineering function to support quantitative research and production teams working with large-scale financial and alternative data. The work involves messy, evolving datasets, performance-sensitive pipelines, and open-ended technical problems. Much of the stack is built in-house and largely greenfield.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable data pipelines
  • Own datasets end-to-end, from ingestion and validation to downstream delivery
  • Develop ingestion, transformation, and quality-control frameworks
  • Build tooling to support research and experimentation
  • Optimise data systems for correctness, reliability, and performance
  • Collaborate closely with researchers, quants, and data scientists

Requirements

  • Strong Python and SQL skills, comfortable working close to raw data
  • Experience building and operating modern data pipelines
  • Exposure to research-, trading-, or decision-critical systems
  • Independent thinker, comfortable with ambiguity
  • Preference for hands-on technical ownership

Ideal Background

  • Systematic funds, quantitative asset managers, HFTs, or trading firms
  • FinTechs or financial data providers
  • Smaller teams with broad ownership and responsibility
  • Strong early-career profiles with clear technical depth

Benefits & conditions

  • Fully guaranteed, competitive compensation
  • Education allowance for dependent children
  • 30 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays
  • Comprehensive healthcare for employee and family
  • Business class relocation flights
  • Joining and departure allowances
