Python Engineer - BAH Partners

My client is a
top-tier, technology-driven quantitative investment firm
, operating globally across all liquid asset classes. The firm is known for its
scientific approach to investing
, where research, data, and engineering sit at the core of the business rather than in support of it. Technology is viewed as a true alpha enabler, and engineers work directly alongside quantitative researchers to solve complex, compute-intensive problems at scale.
They are now expanding their
HPC Research Platform team
, responsible for building and evolving an in-house platform that underpins large-scale quantitative research across the organisation.
The role
This is a core platform engineering position focused on enabling
massive compute workloads
for research teams globally. You will work on the systems that provide secure, efficient access to compute and data, supporting everything from job submission and scheduling through to observability and orchestration across heterogeneous environments.
You will collaborate closely with
quantitative researchers, infrastructure engineers, and platform teams
, helping to shape how computational research is executed at scale.
Key responsibilities
Design and build
libraries, APIs, services, and systems
to meet the compute demands of quantitative researchers
Develop software supporting an
orchestration-driven approach
to managing large compute clusters
Contribute to job scheduling, security, monitoring, and observability across HPC environments
Partner directly with researchers to ensure the platform enables fast, reliable experimentation
Gain exposure to
state-of-the-art HPC and research infrastructure
in a production environment
What they are looking for
Strong software engineer with
5+ years’ experience
building production systems
Proven experience designing and operating
large-scale distributed systems
Strong
Python
background; interest in or experience with
Go
is advantageous
Comfortable working in complex, compute-heavy environments
Prior exposure to quantitative research or finance is a plus, but not required
Clear communicator with a collaborative mindset and willingness to learn
Why this opportunity stands out
Engineers work on
core intellectual property
, not peripheral tooling
Direct exposure to how technology drives research and investment outcomes
Opportunity to shape a
greenfield-style platform
used firmwide
Strong engineering culture with long-term thinking and high technical standards
A firm that invests heavily in people, infrastructure, and sustainable performance
