Python Developer

The Front Office IT Delivery team looks after the Traders and Analysts. We provide a wide range of solutions for both commercial decision support and more tradition ‘IT’ based activities. Generally, we build in a Microsoft stack working closely with the traders/analysts wherever possible. Work ranges from a couple of weeks to several months in length and we often find ourselves multitasking to fit in the more immediate demands. Some of the work requires excellent engineering skills, whilst other tasks need a better grasp of what drives values for the commercial desks.

The team encourages empowerment and accountability which sees us employ a flat organisational structure with an emphasis on getting the job done.
