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 AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.
