Our clients are building technology at the sharp end of global commodities trading - and we’re looking for a senior engineer to help build something new.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who likes difficult problems, moves quickly and wants their work to have a direct impact.

The Role:

• Own and evolve a portfolio of internal applications from architecture through production.
• Set technical direction and make the calls on what to build, improve or retire.
• Work directly with business teams to understand problems and turn them into elegant, practical solutions.
• Build and ship production software using Python, TypeScript/React and PostgreSQL .
• Raise the bar on engineering, reliability and operational practices.
• Help shape the team and bring in the next engineer.

Who You Are:

• Strong full-stack engineering experience, particularly with Python, TypeScript/React and PostgreSQL
• Strong CompSci fundamentals (degree ideally but not a hard requirement!)
• A track record of owning software end-to-end
• The communication skills to work directly with non-technical people and understand what they actually need
• Technical leadership or mentoring experience is a plus
