You’ll be developing components for a research and trading platform used by quant researchers and portfolio managers, handling data from a wide range of sources, and optimizing performance for simulation and live execution. Python is the primary language used throughout the stack, making strong fluency essential.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Contribute to the architecture, testing, and performance tuning of a scalable trading and backtesting platform.
  2. Build reliable, production-grade tools that enable researchers to access, clean, and analyze market and alternative data.
  3. Collaborate with engineers and quantitative researchers to support model development and operational workflows.
  4. Investigate and resolve software issues in live and simulation environments; contribute to code quality and robustness.

What We’re Looking For

  1. 1–3+ years of professional Python development experience (finance background not required).
  2. Solid engineering mindset with an ability to design clean, modular code for long-term maintainability.
  3. Comfortable working with relational databases; experience with data pipelines is a plus.
  4. Clear communication skills and the ability to contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced team environment.
  5. Strong academic background in a STEM subject from a leading university.

Bonus Points

  1. Familiarity with cloud-native technologies (e.g. AWS, GCP) and containerized environments.
  2. Exposure to CI/CD workflows or DevOps practices.
  3. Enthusiasm for test-driven development and clean deployment processes.
  4. A genuine interest in quantitative finance or systematic trading systems.
  5. Eligibility to work in the UK is required.

If you’re a Python developer who enjoys solving complex problems with real-world impact—and wants to learn about quantitative trading in the process—this role offers a front-row seat.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
