Data Engineer - Reporting and Analytics | Global Hedge Fund | London

Role overview

This opportunity is for a Data Engineer to join a compact, highly visible reporting and analytics group within a leading quantitative investment firm in London. The role focuses on the data foundations that support firmwide analytics and P&L reporting.

The business depends on accurate, scalable and timely capture of every important investment data point, including positions, trades, risk exposure and P&L changes. You will help build and maintain the systems that make this information available to the teams that need it.

The team is intentionally small and distributed across London and Asia, so the position offers real ownership and direct impact rather than a narrow, isolated engineering task.

Key work

• Develop and maintain data structures that underpin organisation-wide reporting and analytics.
• Create and tune ETL processes that handle high volumes of trading and business data.
• Improve reporting systems and analytics platforms used across the firm.

What suits this role

• Someone who prefers building robust systems over creating presentations.
• A self-starter who is comfortable taking responsibility for problems and driving them to completion.
• A quick learner who can work independently with limited supervision.
• A person who is interested in how data flows through an organisation end to end.

Required background

• Strong programming ability in Python and/or C#.
• Very good SQL skills and solid understanding of relational databases.
• Prior experience creating ETL pipelines in a production environment.
