IT Search has partnered with a global quantitative trading organisation to hire a Senior Python Engineer for a newly established team building a next-generation research and execution platform in Dublin.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role within a high-impact group operating close to front-office trading. You’ll join a small team of quantitative researchers and engineers, helping to design and build the core Python infrastructure underpinning real-time research, strategy development, and execution systems.
This is fundamentally a senior Python engineering role within a quantitative trading environment. Machine learning exposure is valuable, but deep Python expertise and experience working in high-performance, real-time systems are the key priorities.
The Role
Design and develop robust, scalable Python systems supporting research and live trading workflows
Build and maintain high-performance, real-time data processing pipelines
Collaborate closely with quants to translate research models into production-grade code
Contribute to architecture decisions and help shape engineering standards from an early stage
Implement strong testing, CI/CD, and automation practices across the platform
Support model deployment workflows and associated MLOps processes where relevant
What We’re Looking For
5+ years’ commercial Python development experience – this is the core requirement
Experience working in financial services, quantitative trading, or similar high-performance domains
Strong background building systems in high-traffic, low-latency, or real-time environments
Solid understanding of software engineering best practices, testing, and automation
Ability to work closely with quantitative and business stakeholders in a fast-paced setting
Nice to Have
Exposure to MLOps practices and model deployment workflows
Experience working with time-series data platforms such as kdb+
Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, XGBoost, or similar
Experience with distributed systems or cloud infrastructure
Fully onsite in Dublin with a highly competitive package on offer and flexibility on salary for the right person.
