Job description

A growing London-based fintech are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help scale a business-critical investment reporting platform used by global asset management clients. You'll join at a pivotal point in their journey: evolving an established Django-based product while helping shape and build the next generation of their platform and product suite.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing and building backend services using Python and Django
  • Owning and evolving core platform components across a complex reporting system
  • Architecting and delivering new features end-to-end, from concept through to deployment
  • Working across AWS infrastructure and backend systems to improve scalability and performance
  • Collaborating closely with frontend, design, and client-facing teams
  • Mentoring engineers and driving best practice within a small, high-performing team

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional Python experience
  • Strong experience with Django and building production systems
  • Solid understanding of full product development lifecycle
  • Experience working with AWS or cloud infrastructure
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Confident communicator with the ability to mentor and guide others
  • A proactive, ownership-driven mindset in a collaborative environment

Experience within fintech, reporting platforms, or data-heavy systems is beneficial, but not essential.

Ready to shape the future of investment reporting technology while growing your career in a dynamic fintech environment?
