A market leading trading firm is hiring Production Engineers to join their London office.
In this role, successful candidates will become part of a dynamic team of software developers focused on both developing software and providing high-quality support for systems critical to the trading business. Many Production Engineers will work closely with various software teams, while others will operate in standalone teams, all united by the goal of creating and maintaining exceptional software systems.
As Production Engineers, they will play a vital role in interacting with a wide array of departments and functions, solving real-time issues that make a significant impact across the organization. They will take ownership of the architecture and design of systems that monitor and support trading operations while also designing and developing the tools used, allowing them to shape and improve workflows.
What sets the Production Engineer role apart from a typical software engineering position is the unique blend of responsibilities. Candidates will split their time between software development and a support rotation, actively resolving live issues in critical systems. Their curiosity and eagerness to learn about different systems will provide a broad perspective and opportunities to collaborate with various development and business teams. While the role involves less total coding due to the support rotation, they will find satisfaction in helping others, enabling successful trades, and tackling complex, urgent production issues.
About the Candidates:
The firm does not require candidates to have a background in finance or any specific field. They seek smart software developers who enjoy solving interesting problems. The mindset and ability to learn are what matter most. Ideal candidates should be:
• Strong programmers with a passion for technology, capable of reading and writing code effectively.
• Intellectually curious, motivated, collaborative, and eager to learn.
• Excellent communicators who remain calm and clear during production incidents.
