Senior Trading Systems Engineer (London)
Our client is a well-established, globally recognised multi-strategy hedge fund managing approximately $9 billion in assets.
They are looking for a Senior Trading Systems Developer to be the sole technical presence in their London office; owning the full trade life cycle stack end-to-end and working directly alongside traders and portfolio managers with no local dev management layer above you.
This is not a role for someone who needs close oversight. They want someone who surfaces problems before they're asked, moves fast under pressure, and is trusted to represent the global dev team in a demanding trading environment.
