Job Description
We are hiring a skilled back-end Python Developer to join a high-performing technology team at a top-tier investment bank. You’ll be instrumental in delivering a greenfield system monitoring and performance analysis tool for global trading platforms – a solution that will provide critical insights into system health and behavior across the trading stack.
This is a chance to build something from scratch, with full ownership of backend components, data ingestion, and real-time analytics in a Linux-based environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and develop robust backend services and APIs in Python to power a real-time trading system monitoring tool.
* Build scalable data pipelines to ingest, process, and analyse metrics from various trading infrastructure components.
* Implement logic to detect anomalies, track performance, and surface actionable insights for developers and traders.
* Ensure stability, performance, and security of backend systems in a Linux production environment.
* Collaborate with front-end developers (ReactJS), infrastructure teams, and end users to deliver a complete solution.
* Contribute to system architecture, technical design, and long-term platform strategy.
Requirements:
* Strong experience with Python for backend/API development.
* Solid experience developing and deploying applications in Linux environments.
* Experience with system monitoring, logging, or performance analytics (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, custom tooling) is a plus.
* Knowledge of distributed systems, data processing, or real-time event handling is desirable.
* Familiarity with trading systems or financial infrastructure is advantageous but not required.
* Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
