Job description

A leading multi-strategy hedge fund is looking to hire a Credit Strat Developer to join a high-performing team supporting credit-focused PMs across London and APAC.

This is a front-office aligned role, working closely with a profitable desk to build and enhance tools across the full trading lifecycle — from research and analytics through to P&L, risk, and execution support.

What you’ll be doing

  • Develop and maintain Python-based tools and libraries for credit trading desks
  • Build risk, P&L, and attribution frameworks used directly by PMs
  • Create research toolkits, analytics dashboards, and automation utilities
  • Work closely with traders and quants to translate ideas into robust production systems
  • Contribute to data pipelines, time-series analysis, and monitoring tools

Requirements

  • 3–7 years’ experience as a Quant Developer / Strat / Python Engineer in a front-office environment
  • Strong Python skills (Pandas, NumPy, SQL)
  • Solid understanding of credit products (e.g. CDS, corporate/government bonds)
  • Experience with risk, P&L, or attribution tooling
  • Background in a buy-side firm preferred (sell-side credit desk also considered)
  • Strong engineering fundamentals with experience delivering production-grade code

Nice to have

  • Experience with KDB, Kafka, Databricks, or similar data technologies
  • Familiarity with market data, pricing, and credit analytics
  • Exposure to dashboarding tools (e.g. Dash, Grafana)
  • Understanding of derivatives and market conventions

Why apply?

  • Direct exposure to PMs and trading decisions
  • Opportunity to take ownership of key systems in a lean team
  • Strong compensation and growth potential
  • Collaborative, high-performance environment within a well-established hedge fund
