Amicus Recruitment are proud to be working on a retained search for a fintech company who are looking to build out two brand-new engineering squad’s within London. They are currently looking for 8 Golang Engineers and 4 Python Engineers across different levels to help build out their cutting-edge API platform.

The company who were founded 4 years ago, currently have 100 staff worldwide and an Engineering team of 30 currently in their technical hub in Asia and are now looking at growing a new Engineering team out of London. They have genuine hiring potential of 100 roles to fill over the next 6 months, with 50 of them being across technology.

Currently, they do not have a Python team and they are starting by hiring three engineers to form a small squad to kickstart their Python work.

Being one of their first Python Engineers you will have a lot of influence on technologies you will use along with taking the lead and ownership over their critical projects. You will want to work with Cloud-native applications working with Kubernetes and monolith architecture which will move to a microservice architecture as the company scales.

Their culture is one of collaboration and transparency where you will be allowed the flexibility to work from home 3-4 days a week within a start-up environment. What is great, whilst they are a start-up, they have already turned a profit and secured two huge round of funding to help there growth, so you will not have the worry of working for a start-up and thinking of job security and short term financial commitments of the client. To be considered for a Senior Python role, you will be expected to have the following skills and experience:

  • 3+ years’ experience in core Python Engineering
  • Experience automating complex processes
  • Experience with data pipelining and automating data pipelines
  • Experience in agile environments particularly with TDD
  • Ideally some experience with Kubernetes and AWS
  • Prior use of PostgreSQL databases

They have a fantastic benefits package with salaries ranging from £70,000 - £110,000 + 15% bonus, pension, working from home allowance + many more.
