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:

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

Requirements:

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