We are hiring a skilled back-end Python Developer to join a high-performing technology team at a top-tier investment bank. You’ll be instrumental in delivering a greenfield system monitoring and performance analysis tool for global trading platforms – a solution that will provide critical insights into system health and behavior across the trading stack.

This is a chance to build something from scratch, with full ownership of backend components, data ingestion, and real-time analytics in a Linux-based environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop robust backend services and APIs in Python to power a real-time trading system monitoring tool.
• Build scalable data pipelines to ingest, process, and analyse metrics from various trading infrastructure components.
• Implement logic to detect anomalies, track performance, and surface actionable insights for developers and traders.
• Ensure stability, performance, and security of backend systems in a Linux production environment.
• Collaborate with front-end developers (ReactJS), infrastructure teams, and end users to deliver a complete solution.
• Contribute to system architecture, technical design, and long-term platform strategy.

Requirements:

• Strong experience with Python for backend/API development.
• Solid experience developing and deploying applications in Linux environments.
• Experience with system monitoring, logging, or performance analytics (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, custom tooling) is a plus.
• Knowledge of distributed systems, data processing, or real-time event handling is desirable.
• Familiarity with trading systems or financial infrastructure is advantageous but not required.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
