Your opportunity: We are looking for someone who is already deep into AI, not just familiar with it, to join our EMEA Equity Trading team. You will analyse trading data, automate desk outputs and build tools that seek to improve our processes. This is a technical role, not a trading role: you will learn the domain from one of the most experienced equity trading teams in the industry, but you need to arrive with genuine AI and data capability from day one.
You will:
- Own the AI and automation agenda for the team. You will have the freedom to identify where AI tooling can replace manual processes, design the solution and build it.
- Work directly with Traders and Portfolio Managers to understand how they consume data, where their pain points are and what would change their workflow.
- Analyse trading datasets using Python and AI tooling to surface trends, inefficiencies and opportunities.
- Modernise the desk's day-to-day outputs from a consumable content standpoint so they are automated, visually sharp and worthy of readership.
- Help the wider team build confidence with AI tooling.
- Contribute to the firm's wider community of AI practitioners, sharing what works on the desk, learning from other teams & experts and evolving best practice for AI adoption across the organisation.
What to expect when you join our firm:
- Hybrid working and reasonable accommodations
- Excellent Health and Wellbeing benefits including corporate membership to ClassPass
- Paid volunteer time to step away from your desk and into the community
- Support to grow through professional development courses, tuition/qualification reimbursement and more
- Maternal/paternal leave benefits and family services
- Complimentary subscription to Headspace – the mindfulness app
- All employee events including networking opportunities and social activities
- Lunch allowance for use within our subsidized onsite canteen
Must have skills:
- A degree in a technical or quantitative discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
- Python and AI-assisted development.
- AI proficiency.
- Numerically sharp.
- Delivery mindset.
- Stakeholder communication.
- 2-3+ years in a technical, data or analytics environment.
Nice to have skills:

- Financial knowledge.
- SQL and data platforms.
- Data visualisation and design.
- Platform-level automation.
- Modern development practices.
- Agent orchestration frameworks.
