VCMT/Vercer | London, UK | Remote (UK only) | Full time, flexible and/or contractors | Not open plan
VCMT, a leading commodities trading firm, is looking for senior developers to join our rapidly expanding business. You will help support our existing trading business by maintaining our in-house trading and risk management platform as well as help us to expand by working on greenfield projects to support new markets and business functions.
In an industry dominated by creaking Excel macros, our team has built one of the leading trading management systems in the market, with this cutting-edge technology being a large part of VCMT’s rapid rise in the sector. We do not expect you to know complex financial models (or anything about trading), as part of the job will be getting to grips with the intricacies of our industry and our business. In fact, we operate more like a modern SASS cloud business than a finance company (tech-wise anyway), and generally prefer candidates who do not have a traditional finance background.
Our systems are a combination of Go + Python microservices with a React/Typescript frontend. We're looking for candidates with strong Python and/or Go experience and an interest in learning the other one if you don't know both. A decent understanding of SQL databases, websockets and message buses is highly desirable. Some frontend experience is always a plus, as is experience working with reactive, low latency systems.
In return, we offer competitive salaries + bonus, minimal process, the option of a flexible working week and lots of cool problems to solve (most likely for the first time).
If you're onsite we have large individual offices with a maximum of 2 colleagues, the usual snacks/drinks/pool/ping-pong breakout areas and the occasional rooftop party.
