- Develop and enhance research frameworks, simulation environments, and backtesting capabilities
- Optimise data pipelines and workflows to improve research velocity and model iteration speed
- Own systems end-to-end, from initial design through to deployment and continuous improvement
- Implement automation and tooling to increase efficiency and reliability across the research lifecycle
- Balance trade-offs across performance, scalability, and maintainability in a complex, high-performance environment
Your Skills and Experience:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong Python expertise
- Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and software design
