London Currently hiring
Software Engineer, Functional Programming
Global quantitative trading firm and liquidity provider
Functional programming background valued, London office of a firm with a strong collaborative, puzzle-solving engineering culture.
What does a software engineer at this kind of quantitative trading firm actually work on in London?
The same broad scope as the firm's other global offices, core trading, research, and internal tooling systems, built primarily in a functional programming language, with London engineers working closely alongside the firm's other international teams rather than in a siloed local function.
Is London hiring for this firm genuinely competitive with New York, or a smaller satellite office?
London is a substantial, established office for this kind of firm, not a token overseas presence, with its own dedicated engineering and trading functions rather than existing purely to support the US business.
What's the interview process like for this kind of role in London?
Consistent with the firm's global process, weighted toward functional programming ability and problem solving under pressure rather than memorised technical trivia, regardless of which office you're applying to.
