  • Understanding of the challenges of handling large datasets (structured and unstructured)
  • Proponent of collaborative software engineering techniques and agile methods
  • Solid Linux platforms experience with various scripting languages
  • Working knowledge of at least one database technology, e.g. MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server
  • Degree with high mathematical and computing content - Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, etc. - from a top-tier university


Nice to have

  • Proficient with a range of open-source frameworks and development tools, e.g. NumPy SciPy/Pandas, Spark, Jupyter
  • Previous experience of working with financial market data or alternative data
  • Familiarity with the ESG space
  • Experience with git


Benefits

  • Competitive salary + generous bonuses
  • Extra perks including a personal development allowance and sponsorship
  • Central London office with a very smart, friendly tech team
