Job description

A couple of Senior Python Software Developers are required for an exciting and innovative Software sports betting company based in London. The successful candidates will be working closely with the quantitative researchers and alongside other extremely talented and driven engineers to build and support systematic trading models. An interest in functional programming and its application in the real world would be useful. The roles would suit candidates with 5+ years experience and significant part of childhood spent hacking away in 8-bit assembly language. You will be joining a tight-knit team of research mathematicians, computer scientists and trading analysts at the top of their chosen fields.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of software development experience, with a proven ability to work independently and innovate.
  • A passion for creative problem-solving and a willingness to fail fast to find the best solution.
  • Experience working in environments where the speed of development is prioritised over formal processes.
  • An eagerness to collaborate with a diverse team of brilliant minds, contributing your own unique insights.
  • A self-starter attitude, with the confidence to take ownership of projects and experiment with new ideas.

You’ll have the freedom to choose the tools and technologies that fit each problem best, but here’s a snapshot of what the company currently uses:

  • Python 3.10+ for most of their development.
  • C and Go for high-performance systems where needed.
  • ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ for backend communication.
  • Basic web front ends for internal tools.
  • Extremely lucrative salary, bonus and benefits.
  • Greenfield Python/Golang work, both challenging and rewarding.
