Our client, a leading global trading firm, is seeking a talented Data Production Engineer to join their highly collaborative Data team. Data is central to their success, powering one of the world's largest and most advanced automated trading operations.

This role offers the unique opportunity to work directly with live trading teams, automate processes, explore vast datasets, and engage with key external stakeholders such as data vendors, brokers, and exchanges. You'll play a hands-on role in acquiring, validating, and preparing data that feeds cutting-edge quantitative research and real-time trading strategies.

Key Responsibilities

Data Engineering: Develop tools to onboard, classify, and reconcile data. Automate workflows using a modern Python data stack.

Data Analysis: Clean, validate, and enrich datasets; conduct in-depth reconciliations and support researchers in data exploration and feature creation.

Data Debugging: Trace anomalies to their source through a combination of technical analysis, problem-solving, and stakeholder communication.

Production Support: Monitor data pipelines, resolve issues quickly, and provide reliable support to internal users across trading and research.

About You

You're detail-oriented, curious, and thrive on solving complex data challenges.

Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, production environment.

You collaborate well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

2+ years in a data engineering or data science role, or a relevant degree in a related field.

Strong Python skills are a must; familiarity with modern data tools and libraries.

Proficient in at least one SQL dialect (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL).

Comfortable using the Linux command line for file manipulation, automation, and system monitoring.

Experience with financial datasets (e.g. Refinitiv, S&P, Bloomberg) and ETL pipeline management is highly desirable.

Prior exposure to supporting systems in a production trading environment is a strong advantage.

Why Apply?

You'll join a high-impact team at the core of a global trading powerhouse, surrounded by smart, driven colleagues in an environment that prizes collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. The culture is open, inclusive, and values ideas from all corners of the organisation.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
