Senior Software Engineer – Python & Functional Programming

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in Python and experience in at least one functional programming language such as Haskell, Scala, F#, Clojure, or Erlang. You’ll join a cross-functional engineering team focused on delivering high-performance systems that support complex data computation and analysis at scale — particularly in risk and analytics environments.

This is an opportunity to apply your skills in a technically demanding setting, working on systems that process large volumes of data and provide critical insights to business stakeholders.

🔧 Your Responsibilities:

• Design and implement high-throughput systems for processing and analyzing large data sets

• Develop robust back-end components that support flexible and scalable risk or analytical frameworks

• Optimize compute performance and ensure reliability and maintainability of codebases

• Work closely with engineers, analysts, and product teams to align technical solutions with business objectives

• Improve the architecture and tooling of core systems by applying functional programming principles

• Contribute to ongoing improvements in team practices, code quality, and performance monitoring

✅ What We’re Looking For:

• At least 5 years of professional experience in software engineering

• Strong programming skills in Python

• Hands-on experience with at least one functional programming language (Haskell, Scala, Clojure, F#, Erlang, etc.)

• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related discipline

• Familiarity with statistical computing, numerical methods, or large-scale data processing

• Strong problem-solving skills and a solid grasp of algorithms and data structures

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

• Attention to detail, ownership of outcomes, and a commitment to ethical standards

⭐️ Nice to Have:

• Background in finance, quantitative research, or risk systems

• Exposure to cloud platforms or distributed computing tools
