Software Developer Post-Trade Automation

Ncounter are supporting a globally recognised systematic investment firm in hiring a Python focused Software Developer to join their Post Trade engineering group. This team builds and operates the pipelines that sit at the heart of post trade processing, powering millions of transactions and ensuring accuracy, timeliness and compliance across global markets.

You will design and deliver high performance components that automate the full lifecycle of post trade workflows, from ingesting transaction feeds through to booking, enrichment, reconciliation and analytics. This is a hands on engineering role where you will own production systems, improve reliability, optimise data flows and help shape the architecture behind one of the most advanced trading environments in the industry.

The environment is deeply technical, collaborative and quality driven, with strong expectations around software engineering standards, data integrity, and scalable distributed design.

Core Requirements

• Strong Computer Science background with 5 years Python engineering in trading or post trade domains

• Proven experience building data intensive services and working with PostgreSQL and data frame tooling

• Background in trade booking and FIX protocol integration

• Ability to design and implement scalable, high availability and distributed architectures

• Experience building reporting and reconciliation tooling and working with large transactional datasets

• Understanding of OTC products including CDS, Interest Rate Swaps and Variance Swaps

Highly Desirable

• Experience with C++, Spark, Kafka or other distributed compute tools

• Exposure to position keeping, risk, or PnL systems

• Strong debugging, profiling and optimisation capability across data pipelines

If you want to work at the intersection of software engineering, distributed systems and financial markets and enjoy taking ownership of critical production platforms, Ncounter would like to speak with you. Please get in touch for a confidential discussion

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
