• Develop and maintain core applications supporting trading, data, and operational workflows

• Strong programming skills in Python
• Experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g. stored procedures, optimisation)
• Familiarity with Excel/VBA
• Understanding of data workflows and system integration
• Exposure to web technologies is beneficial but not essential
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a small team
