Python Developer (Software Engineer Programmer Developer) required by our asset management client in London.

• Strong experience as a Python Developer/Software Engineer/Programmer
• Excellent Python skills
• Experience working in Fixed Income (rates, credit, bonds, ABS)
• Some Front End ability (Vue, React or Angular good but not necessary)
• Agile methodology experience

• Data tools such as Glue, Athena, Airflow, Ignite, DBT, Arrow, Iceberg, Dremio
• Fixed Income performance, risk or attribution experience
• TypeScript and Node experience

Role: You will join a team of 8 that is responsible for an in-house built Fixed Income attribution application. It is entirely hosted on AWS and operates with a React Front End. The front/back ratio of work is largely down to you. It can be entirely Back End. Otherwise, the stack includes Redux Saga, Ag-Grid, Node, TypeScript, gRPC, protobuf, Apache Ignite, Apache Airflow, and AWS.

As the application suite grows and advances in complexity, there is a decent amount of interaction with the portfolio managers and credit analysis team. As a result, domain knowledge is important. You need to have Fixed Income experience whether in rates (government bonds), credit (corporate bonds, CDS, CLO, CDO etc) or asset-backed securities (ABS). You will be working on one of three business streams and could be leading more junior engineers. Experience on the buy-side and attribution is desirable but not essential.
