This is a rare opportunity to build and enhance the critical systems that underpin a multi-billion-pound insurance platform — spanning trading, operations, finance, and actuarial functions.

The role sits at the heart of the business, combining hands-on development with meaningful collaboration across teams including Strats, Trading, Operations, and Risk.

- Risk and finance reporting
- User-facing tools and interfaces
- Design and build new applications using Python, ReactJS, SQL Server/PostgreSQL, and web services
- Contribute to the firm’s proprietary codebase (built on a secure in-house language used across the financial industry)
- Partner closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to deliver pragmatic, high-impact solutions

About You:

- 3+ years of professional software development experience, ideally in financial services (e.g. insurance, trading, or banking)
- Strong Python development skills and a willingness to work across a varied tech stack
- Comfortable working with SQL databases, distributed systems, and modern web frameworks
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach
- Familiarity with the software development lifecycle and best engineering practices

Nice to Have:

- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS) and Linux environments
- Knowledge of proprietary financial engineering platforms (e.g. SecDB, Athena, or Quartz)

- Gain exposure to a full spectrum of business domains — from front office pricing to back office reporting
- Help shape the future of UK pensions and work on systems that support financial security for over a million people
