## Job Description

Tempest Vane Partners is partnering with a highly regarded, technology‑driven hedge fund looking to hire a Senior Market Data Engineer into its London‑based team.

This is a genuinely high‑impact role sitting close to the front office, focused on building the data backbone that traders, quants, and risk teams rely on every day. The environment is fast‑paced, engineering‑led, and places real value on clean design, performance, and autonomy.

### What you’ll be doing:

- Engineering low‑latency, high‑throughput market data platforms from the ground up
- Owning the full data lifecycle from ingestion and normalisation through to distribution
- Tackling complex challenges around data quality, scale, and resiliency
- Working directly with trading and quant teams to shape how data is consumed and used
- Driving architectural decisions and influencing the technical direction of the platform

### What they’re looking for:

- Strong backend engineering experience in C# or Java, ideally in real‑time systems
- A deep understanding of market data (feed handlers, tick data, symbology, etc.)
- Experience building distributed systems with a focus on performance and reliability
- Solid database knowledge (SQL and/or NoSQL) and familiarity with messaging systems
- Exposure to cloud and modern DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines)

### Nice to have:

- Experience in a buy‑side environment
- Understanding of asset classes such as rates, FX, or derivatives
- An interest in how data drives trading decisions

### Why this role stands out:

- Direct impact on trading performance and decision‑making
- High level of ownership and autonomy, not a ticket‑taking environment
- Collaborative, low‑ego culture with strong engineering standards
- Competitive compensation with top‑tier benefits
