Data Engineer | London | Systematic Trading

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Data Engineer | London | Systematic Trading”, “description”: “

"Most data roles don’t sit this close to the trading desk. This one does."

At Tempest Vane Partners, we’re partnering with a high-performing, highly selective quantitative investment firm to hire a Data Engineer into a team building the data backbone of live trading strategies.

This isn’t a back-office data role. Your work will directly influence how trading decisions are made in real time.

Why this role stands out

  • Work on live trading systems, not just pipelines feeding dashboards
  • Collaborate daily with quants and traders
  • High ownership, low bureaucracy, strong technical standards

What you’ll actually be doing

  • Designing and evolving scalable data platforms that support systematic trading
  • Building systems that ingest, transform, and deliver large-scale, real-time datasets
  • Improving data reliability, latency, and performance across the stack
  • Bringing structure to complex data ecosystems spanning multiple sources
  • Solving production-critical problems in a fast-moving environment

What they’re looking for

  • Experience building robust data systems in performance-driven environments
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and a pragmatic approach to delivery
  • Comfortable working with large, complex datasets at scale
  • Familiarity with modern data tooling, distributed systems, or cloud environments
  • Someone who enjoys being close to the business, not removed from it

(Prior exposure to trading or financial data is helpful, but not essential.)

What’s on offer

  • Highly competitive base + strong bonus potential
  • A genuinely front-office aligned engineering role
  • Exposure to real-time trading systems and decision-making
  • A tight-knit, high-calibre team where your work has an immediate impact
