Front Office Technology Lead - Hedge Fund - Up to £250,000 Total Compensation

Your work directly shapes how the front office performs, and you'll be writing the code that makes it happen.

This is a fund that blends discretionary and systematic trading. Quant research and human judgement sit side by side, and technology is central to everything they do. You won't be supporting the front office from a separate technology team. You'll sit alongside traders and quants, building the systems they rely on every day.

Around 70-80% of your time will be spent engineering. Designing, building and improving front office applications in C#, Python and SQL, shipping features quickly and solving problems that directly impact trading. As the fund launches new strategies, you'll own the technology that enables them from day one.

Alongside the engineering, you'll naturally become the CTO's right hand on technical delivery. You'll help shape architecture, review code, mentor other engineers and influence technical direction, but you'll remain firmly hands-on. If you’re looking to move away from coding, this isn’t the role for you.

You’ll probably be a Senior/Staff Engineer or Tech Lead who still enjoys spending most of the week writing production code. Previous management/leadership experience is important, but as equally as strong engineering fundamentals, commercial judgement and trading systems knowledge.

Compensation is up to £250,000 total, with a significant bonus linked to both your contribution and fund performance.

As the business launches additional funds, you’ll be building the technology that underpins that growth.

The role is fully office-based because that’s where decisions are made, ideas are shared and you’ll get the closest exposure to traders, portfolio managers and investment strategies.

If you want to spend your time building software rather than sitting in meetings, while still having genuine influence over technical direction, we’d like to hear from you.
