Are you a technically minded graduate or early-career professional with an interest in trading systems, execution workflows, and data analysis? A fast-growing and well-backed fintech firm is looking for a Graduate Operations / Product Engineer to join their London office. This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the Head of Execution and gain deep exposure to real-world trading infrastructure and performance analytics.

About the Role:

You’ll play a pivotal role supporting and enhancing institutional-grade trading products and execution systems.

• Managing technical operations across Windows and Linux environments
• Engaging with cloud-based infrastructure (Azure/AWS)
• Supporting TCA (Transaction Cost Analysis) and performance analytics
• Collaborating on trade execution workflows
• Contributing to data analysis using SQL, Python, or R

This is not a siloed position — you’ll be at the heart of the action, learning directly from a small, focused, and collaborative team.

What We’re Looking For:

• A recent graduate (or up to 2 years’ experience) in a technical, product or quantitative field
• Familiarity with trading, futures, algorithmic execution, or TCA is a major plus
• Hands-on experience with Windows and Linux OS
• Knowledge of SQL and cloud platforms (Azure or AWS)
• Exposure to data analysis tools – Python or R preferred
• A keen interest in capital markets, trading systems, and financial technology

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a small but ambitious firm on a steep growth trajectory
• Work side-by-side with senior stakeholders in a dynamic, learning-rich environment
• Gain hands-on experience with real trading systems and performance analytics
• Accelerate your development across technology, product, and trading domains

This is an ideal role for someone excited to get under the hood of a sophisticated trading platform, not afraid to roll up their sleeves, and eager to make a meaningful impact early in their career.
