Who We Are

At Intropic, we’re building the future of financial intelligence, where deep market expertise meets the power of AI. Founded in London’s financial centre of Canary Wharf, we exist to transform complex data into clarity, precision, and action. Our culture is shaped by truth-seeking, velocity, and ownership, values that drive how we build, learn, and collaborate every day. We move fast, think independently, and hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and impact. Here, curiosity isn’t just encouraged, it’s essential. If you’re driven by challenge, inspired by innovation, and ready to amplify your intelligence alongside a team of exceptional thinkers, Intropic is where your ideas can truly compound.

Who We Look For

We are a fin-tech start-up with a successful suite of products, now ready to build the next big thing. You must thrive working on open-ended problems across a range of disciplines; we are a start-up where our engineers do much more than just pick up JIRA tickets. A typical week may include debugging python, deploying infrastructure changes, talking to product early-adopters, and strategic planning with the team leads. We hire the person not the CV; if you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you!

Responsibilities

Working with product managers, researchers, and other engineers to define cloud-native backend systems and project requirements.
Designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend services with a strong focus on cloud architecture.
Writing clean, well-tested, and production-ready Python code (with opportunities to use Go or Rust where appropriate).
Deploying and operating production systems on AWS with an emphasis on reliability, security, and performance.
Using Infrastructure as Code to provision and manage cloud resources.

Requirements

Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Independent and self-driven learner with a strong interest in cloud infrastructure and backend engineering.
Python experience is required; experience or interest in Go and/or Rust is a plus.
Hands-on experience with AWS.
Experience with Docker and containerized applications.
Infrastructure as Code experience using Terraform.
Basic to intermediate Kubernetes knowledge.
Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Loki.
