London, United Kingdom Hunter Bond Full time

We are partnering with one of the world’s most technically rigorous quantitative investment firms to identify an exceptional Senior Backend Engineer with deep expertise in Python, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. Our client runs a lean, elite engineering organisation where impact is immediate, autonomy is real, and engineering excellence is non-negotiable.
Python — production-grade backend engineering, clean architecture, high-performance systems.
~ Kubernetes — expert-level understanding of container orchestration, scaling strategies, service deployment, and cluster operations.
~ Distributed Systems — designing, building, and maintaining scalable, fault-tolerant services for data and compute-intensive workloads.
~ 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience in high-performance, modern backend environments.


Computer Science or similar type degree from a good university

Own Kubernetes-based deployments and orchestration frameworks across highly customised environments (often on-prem).
Develop reliable and elegant Python services that support high-throughput data, compute, and model execution pipelines.
Collaborate directly with world-class researchers, data teams, and platform engineers to drive performance and reliability across the stack.
This role does not involve developing machine learning models — instead, you'll architect the systems that allow them to run flawlessly.

Compensation designed to attract and retain top 1% engineers

If you are a backend engineer with deep Python, Kubernetes, and distributed systems expertise — and you prefer high-performance, startup-style engineering environments over corporate rigidity — we strongly encourage you to reach out.
