Job Specifications

Senior Python Developer

Location: Remote (London office available)

Type: Full-time

We're looking for an experienced Senior Python Developer to join a small, highly skilled engineering team building a next-generation Financial Services Regulatory Compliance platform.

You'll work on complex systems that process and analyse tens of thousands of regulatory documents and millions of regulatory news items leveraging cutting-edge AI and LLM technologies to deliver actionable insights.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems using Python and FastAPI in an API-first architecture.
Refactor and rebuild complex components of the existing platform to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Take ownership of key system modules while collaborating closely with a small, agile team of three engineers.
Contribute to the evolution of the platform's architecture as we transition cloud infrastructure from Azure to GCP (and potentially AWS).
Integrate and optimise AI/LLM-based components to enhance automation and intelligence across the platform.
Work cross-functionally with product and data teams to deliver new features and enhance existing capabilities.

About You

Extensive experience with Python, particularly in API-first development (FastAPI preferred).
Strong understanding of modern software architecture, system refactoring, and scalability improvements.
Comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership of major system areas, while maintaining a hands-on, collaborative approach to team projects.
Experience with LLMs or AI/ML-driven systems is highly desirable.
Knowledge of Knowledge Graphs, RDF, or OWL would be an advantage, but is not required.
Familiarity with financial services or regulatory technology is beneficial, though not essential.

Tech Stack

Backend: Python (FastAPI)
Frontend: Next.js / React
Database: MongoDB
Caching/Queueing: Redis
Cloud: Azure (moving to GCP; AWS possible in the future)

What We Offer

Flexible remote working (London office available for optional in-person collaboration).
The chance to work on a technically challenging, high-impact AI-driven platform.
A collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment where your input directly shapes the product.
