We are seeking a Principal Python Software Engineer to join a UK-based financial services team. Responsible for designing and delivering clean, reusable code and component libraries that underpin front office technology.

• Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL database platforms and proficiency with Python core libraries and widely used third-party packages
• Understanding of data structures and data transformation methodologies
• Experience working within Agile (Scrum) teams, DevSecOps practices, and CI/CD workflows
