• Experience with pipeline orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow, Dagster) and data lake technologies (e.g. Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg)
• Understanding of Linux-based, high-throughput distributed systems
• Financial markets experience (particularly delta one, store of value, or FICC options) is a plus
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Degree in Computer Science, Maths, Physics, Engineering or equivalent practical experience

What’s on Offer

• Highly competitive base salary (from £130k to £160k)
