Tech Lead – Python / Financial Modelling / AI - Pensions
* 6 Month Contract
* Remote (Occasional London Travel)
I’m currently working with a leading financial services technology consultancy that is looking to bring in an experienced Tech Lead to support the delivery of modern software solutions for a major pensions client. This role sits at the intersection of financial modelling and modern engineering, supporting the development of platforms used for forward‑looking financial analysis, including discounted cashflow projections and Monte Carlo simulations. This is a hands‑on leadership role, splitting your time between full‑stack engineering and leading a team of senior developers. You’ll also play a key role in shaping AI‑assisted and agentic development workflows, helping embed these approaches into day‑to‑day engineering practices.
The Role
You will lead a team of four experienced engineers while remaining actively involved in the development process, with a strong emphasis on Python‑led development within a modern cloud environment. Alongside technical leadership, you will coordinate delivery, run Agile ceremonies, and act as a key technical contact for stakeholders and clients. The role requires someone who leads by influence, communicates confidently with clients, and brings practical experience implementing AI‑assisted and agentic engineering workflows within real delivery environments.
Key Responsibilities
* Leading a team of four senior engineers within an Agile delivery environment
* Remaining hands‑on with Python‑led full‑stack development, alongside TypeScript, React and Azure
* Contributing to platforms supporting financial modelling and forward‑looking analytics including discounted cashflow projections and Monte Carlo simulations
* Championing AI‑assisted and agentic engineering workflows, embedding these into development practices
* Running Agile ceremonies including stand‑ups, sprint planning and retrospectives
* Managing day‑to‑day delivery and proactively removing blockers
* Acting as a key technical contact for stakeholders and clients
* Supporting solution design and maintaining strong engineering standards
Experience Required
* Proven experience operating as a Tech Lead or Lead Engineer in modern engineering teams
* Strong Python development experience within full‑stack environments
* Experience with TypeScript, React and Azure‑based architectures
* Experience working on financial modelling systems, ideally involving forward‑looking modelling such as discounted cashflow projections or Monte Carlo simulations
* Demonstrable experience implementing AI‑assisted or agentic engineering approaches in practice
* Experience leading engineering teams within Agile delivery frameworks
* Strong communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with clients and stakeholders
* A solutions‑oriented, detail‑focused mindset with a strong delivery drive and principles‑based approach to engineering
