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.
