They're looking for a Software Engineer with exceptional Python development skills to become the first dedicated engineer within a newly established team, working directly with an experienced technical leader to build the next generation of internal compliance applications. This is a software engineering role first and foremost. While you'll be working on applications that support compliance and surveillance teams, the focus is on building high-quality software rather than data engineering or AI development. You'll take ownership of developing a modern internal dashboard used by business stakeholders, creating new features, improving usability, and delivering software that has a direct impact across the organisation. You'll spend the majority of your time writing Python, while also contributing to the front end using JavaScript.

We're looking for someone with: • Excellent commercial Python development experience • Good JavaScript skills and experience building modern web applications or dashboards • Experience with React, Angular, Vue or another contemporary JavaScript framework • An understanding of user-focused application development and translating business requirements into intuitive interfaces • Experience working on internal business applications, financial platforms, or operational tooling would be advantageous • Exposure to financial dashboards, compliance systems, or regulated environments would be beneficial, but isn't essential • Strong communication skills and the confidence to work closely with stakeholders across both technology and the business This role offers the opportunity to explore AI-powered features in the future, but previous AI, LLM or data engineering experience is not a requirement. The priority is finding an outstanding software engineer with strong Python fundamentals and enough front-end expertise to build polished, user-friendly applications. If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership from day one, influence product direction, and build software that is used across the business, we'd love to hear from you.
