Job description
Are you a Data Engineer (5-7+ years) who enjoys owning production-grade pipelines end-to-end, optimising performance, and working with modern Python tooling on time-series datasets?
I'm supporting a London-based fintech in their search for a hands-on Data Engineer to help build and improve the data infrastructure powering a unified data + analytics API for financial markets participants.
You'll sit in a small engineering/analytics team and take ownership of pipelines end-to-end - from onboarding new datasets through to reliability, monitoring and data quality in production. Finance experience is a bonus, but not essential.
Note: they use cloud infrastructure but deploy services on their own servers, so a strong production/ops mindset is important.
In this role, you'll:
- Build, streamline and improve ETL/data pipelines (prototype * production)
- Ingest and normalise high-velocity, time-series datasets from multiple external sources
- Work heavily in Python with a modern columnar stack (Polars + Parquet/Arrow/PyArrow; DuckDB is a nice-to-have)
- Orchestrate workflows and improve reliability (they use Temporal - similar orchestration experience is fine)
- Own production readiness: validations, automated checks, backfills/reruns, monitoring/alerting, incident/RCA mindset
- Work independently and help drive delivery forward - including providing practical technical guidance to shape solutions
What's in it for you?
- Modern Python stack - Polars + Parquet/Arrow (DuckDB a plus)
- Ownership & impact - high visibility; you'll influence performance and reliability directly
- Market/time-series exposure - complex financial datasets; learn the domain as you go
- Hybrid London - London preferred, 2-3 days in the office

Requirements
