A growing global macro hedge fund is seeking a Technology Associate / Data Engineer to join its lean, high-impact technology team in London. The firm combines an entrepreneurial culture with institutional backing and is known for empowering talented individuals to take ownership, innovate, and shape its future.


This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of technology, data, and business operations. You’ll work directly with teams across Trading, Risk, Operations, Finance, and Compliance to build tools, automate processes, and enhance the firm’s data and reporting infrastructure.


The successful candidate will be someone who combines strong technical skills with curiosity, pragmatism, and drive — someone who takes pride in engineering fundamentals, thrives in a small team, and wants to see the commercial impact of their work.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and enhance data pipelines and ETL processes using Python and SQL.
  • Manage and integrate API connections and FTP data feeds into internal systems.
  • Build and support dashboards and reports to provide visibility across trading and operations.
  • Support and optimise the firm’s cloud infrastructure (Microsoft Azure) including VMs, data storage, and permissions.
  • Use Excel/VBA for automation and ad-hoc data analysis.
  • Implement Git-based version control and code management best practices.
  • Partner closely with business users to translate requirements into technical solutions.
  • Take ownership of projects that improve automation, scalability, and efficiency across the fund.


What You’ll Gain

  • Autonomy and ownership from day one — your work will have immediate visibility.
  • Exposure to all parts of the business, from trading to operations.
  • The opportunity to shape the firm’s technology stack as it scales.
  • A flat, collaborative structure with direct access to senior stakeholders.
  • Competitive compensation and rapid career progression in a high-performing environment.


Required Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (Computer Science, Engineering, Maths, Physics).
  • 2–4 years’ experience in a technical, data, or engineering-focused role.
  • Strong skills in Python, SQL, and Excel/VBA.
  • Experience building or maintaining ETL/data pipelines, particularly around APIs or FTP processes.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and Git.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • A proactive, curious mindset and a willingness to take initiative.


Desirable

  • Experience with dashboarding/BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Streamlit).
  • Familiarity with Linux scripting or workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect).
  • Exposure to financial markets, asset management, or consulting environments.


This role would suit someone who is technically strong, logical, and ambitious, with the maturity to take ownership in a lean setup. Ideal candidates may come from consulting, banking, or buy-side firms, or from smaller environments where they’ve had end-to-end responsibility.

If you’re looking for a role that will stretch your technical breadth, give you real impact, and expose you to the inner workings of a hedge fund, this opportunity stands out.
