Job description

Software Engineer (Python) High-Growth Startup London (Battersea, Hybrid) £75k-£120k + package

We’re partnered with a high-growth, venture-backed startup building cutting-edge trading infrastructure within a unique and fast-moving market.

This is an opportunity to join a small, high-performing engineering team working on real-time systems, data pipelines, and automated trading strategies- where your work will have direct impact on performance and revenue from day one.

The Role

As a Software Engineer, you’ll be working on a low-latency trading platform, building systems that:

  • Process and analyse large-scale, real-time data
  • Power pricing models and execution logic
  • Identify and exploit inefficiencies in dynamic markets
  • Enable automated decision-making and strategy deployment

You’ll own problems end-to-end- from idea through to production- in a highly iterative, experimental environment.

What They’re Looking For

  • Strong foundation in Computer Science, Maths, Physics, or similar
  • Experience with (or strong interest in):
  • Python
  • AWS
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Curious, proactive, and motivated by solving complex problems

Open to a range of profiles- from strong graduates to experienced engineers, however you must have some experience and be comfortable working in a startup.

Tech Environment

  • Golang
  • AWS
  • Real-time data systems and ETL pipelines
  • Low-latency, high-throughput architecture
  • Increasing use of AI tools in development workflows

The Opportunity

  • Join a small, high-performing team (~5 engineers)
  • Work directly on systems impacting live trading and P&L
  • High autonomy with minimal hierarchy
  • Rapid growth with strong market traction

Package

  • Performance-related bonus / profit share
  • Private medical
  • Pension
  • Unlimited holiday
