Looking for a Principal Engineer, need a "go to person" for Finance & Tech questions. This will be a nice mixture of leadership/hands-on responsibilities within their Engineering function, contributing to a broad range of front-office and systems-based projects.

Tech: Python (and Rust, prior experience not mandatory, but willingness to learn).

Compensation: Package north of Β£180k base, with equity from day one and a bonus on top. They have one of the best cultures in the industry including lots of flexibility and an office that people choose to go to.
