The Opportunity


We're looking for an experienced KDB+/q Specialist to join a high-performing engineering team building and evolving critical platforms that underpin Prime Brokerage, Financing, Intraday Risk, Market Data and time-series analytics. These are business-critical systems that process high-volume, low-latency financial data and are used directly by Front Office, quantitative and risk teams.

Build scalable RDB/HDB architectures capable of supporting large-scale market data and analytics workloads.


Partner with trading, quantitative, risk and business teams to understand requirements and deliver innovative technical solutions.


Improve platform performance, resilience and operational stability.


Troubleshoot production issues and drive continuous platform improvements.


Contribute to technical design, engineering standards and mentoring within the team.



What We're Looking For


We're interested in engineers who have deep expertise in KDB+/q and enjoy solving complex engineering problems in high-performance financial systems.


You'll ideally bring:



  • Strong commercial experience developing applications using KDB+/q.


Deep understanding of time-series databases and distributed data architectures.


Experience designing, implementing and optimising RDB/HDB environments.


Experience working with Market Data, Risk, Financing, Prime Brokerage or Securities Lending platforms.


Strong Linux/Unix administration and Scripting skills.


Experience supporting production systems within business-critical environments.



Experience with any of the following would be advantageous:



  • Kubernetes


Kafka


Terraform


Ansible


Cloud platforms and cloud-native engineering


CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices



Who You Are


Whether you're an experienced Senior Engineer looking for your next challenge or a Lead Engineer wanting to shape the future of a critical KDB+ platform, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact
