Quantitative Developer, Systematic Trading
London About Us
Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Its business model is “asset light” and highly diversified – giving it the ability to adapt effectively and nimbly to changing market conditions. It has assembled successful multidisciplinary teams, leveraging advanced fundamental analysis with deep quantitative and weather research capabilities. Its activities are underpinned by strong risk management practices and by powerful technology and operational excellence. Its exceptional teams have diverse global backgrounds and decades of experience, and are driven by a highly collaborative culture, across products and competencies.

The acquisition provides Engelhart with new expertise, analytics and proprietary technology which is used to provide risk management and optimisation services to manage the intermittency of renewable power generation for its client base. The acquisition also expanded Engelhart’s capabilities into physical natural gas across North America. Its talented and experienced individuals work together according to its four company values:

We are looking for an experienced Python developer to join the new Quantitative Systematic Team here at Engelhart. Based in the London office, we are a small team comprising quant researchers and developers, building a portfolio of data-driven trading strategies and underlying technical infrastructure. The role requires strong Python and mathematical skills, along with the ability to deliver robust code that will run our strategies.

As this is a greenfield development project, the role also provides exposure to all stages of systematic trading; from data ingestion to forecasting, portfolio construction, execution, and reporting. About You
This person will be an experienced developer, comfortable working directly with stakeholders in a highly commercial environment. An understanding of the underlying mathematics would be beneficial for this individual, though a lack of prior experience in finance would not necessarily be a problem for a successful candidate. In addition, we are looking for somebody with the following
experience and skills : Around 2 to 5 years of experience in a similar role. Experience with the Python data ecosystem, specifically pandas. Knowledge of cloud technologies, ideally AWS and Azure. Familiarity with CI solutions. Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is a plus. Experience in finance is beneficial, particularly in commodities. What we offer
Competitive compensation and participation in Engelhart’s discretionary bonus plan. 25 days of annual holiday entitlement, excluding UK public holidays. Robust benefits package such as Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, pension contribution match, and supplemental benefits partially subsidised by the Company. Eligibility to receive external and internal training in accordance with our Training & Development Policy. We believe in inclusivity and are therefore dedicated to ensuring all employees – across gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, life experience, background and more – feel welcome and included in the company. We promote diversity because we believe it is essential to our ability to think holistically.
