Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Our business model is “asset light” and highly diversified – giving us the ability to adapt effectively and nimbly to changing market conditions. We have assembled successful multidisciplinary teams, leveraging advanced fundamental analysis with deep quantitative and weather research capabilities. Our activities are underpinned by strong risk management practices and by powerful technology and operational excellence. We have exceptional teams with diverse global backgrounds and decades of experience, and are driven by a highly collaborative culture, across products and competencies.

In 2024, Engelhart acquired Trailstone, a global energy trading and technology company. The acquisition provides us with new expertise, analytics and proprietary technology which is being used to provide risk management and optimisation services to help maximise the value of our clients’ renewable power. The acquisition also expanded Engelhart’s capabilities into physical natural gas across North America, a critical fuel to support the energy transition.

Our talented and experienced individuals work together according to its four company values:be bold, be collaborative, be proactive, be your best.

Quantitative Developer, Systematic Trading – London, UKAbout the Role

We are looking for an experienced Python developer to join the new Quantitative Systematic Team here at Engelhart. Based in the London office, we are a small team comprising quant researchers and developers, building a portfolio of data-driven trading strategies and underlying technical infrastructure.

The role requires strong Python and mathematical skills, along with the ability to deliver robust code that will run our strategies. From a programming perspective, the role offers numerous exciting challenges to solve and learn from, including performance optimization when dealing with large volumes of data, building cloud-native applications, and developing versatile reporting and visualization frameworks.

As this is a greenfield development project, the role also provides exposure to all stages of systematic trading; from data ingestion to forecasting, portfolio construction, execution, and reporting.

About You

This person will be an experienced developer, comfortable working directly with stakeholders in a highly commercial environment. An understanding of the underlying mathematics would be beneficial for this individual, though a lack of prior experience in finance would not necessarily be a problem for a successful candidate.

In addition, we are looking for somebody with the followingexperience and skills:

  • Around 2 to 5 years of experience in a similar role.
  • Experience with the Python data ecosystem, specifically pandas.
  • Knowledge of cloud technologies, ideally AWS and Azure.
  • Familiarity with CI solutions.
  • Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is a plus
  • Experience in finance is beneficial, particularly in commodities.

What we offer

  • Competitive compensation and participation in Engelhart’s discretionary bonus plan.
  • 25 days of annual holiday entitlement, excluding UK public holidays.
  • Robust benefits package such as Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, pension contribution match, and supplemental benefits partially subsidised by the Company.
  • Eligibility to receive external and internal training in accordance with our Training & Development Policy.

We believe in inclusivity and are therefore dedicated to ensuring all employees – across gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, life experience, background and more – feel welcome and included in the company. We promote diversity because we believe it is essential to our ability to think holistically.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
