Overview

ScaleUp your Career. Python Developer – Quantitative Finance | Sydney CBD | $150k–$180k

Are you writing code that’s quality, but not really contributing to the bigger picture? Perhaps you feel you have kicked all the goals you have in your current role and know there’s a lot more of you to give. You want to build things that matter—the kind of tools that help solve problems and help people win. Maybe help traders win in real-time, high-stakes markets.

If you’ve got a passion for performance, a love of data, and the skills to optimize systems that crunch numbers at lightning speed, and live and breathe Python engineering, this is your role.

ScaleUp is partnering with a global trading firm with serious tech chops. Their Sydney team is growing, and we’re looking for Python Developers to help them build next-level trading infrastructure. You’ll join the trading systems team and be hands-on with the tools that drive real-time decision-making. You’ll work closely with traders and quantitative researchers to design and maintain analytical platforms, data pipelines, and performance-critical applications that process massive volumes of market data.

This isn’t just about writing clean code, it’s about building systems that can handle high throughput, low latency, and constantly shifting conditions in global markets. Your day-to-day will involve tackling performance bottlenecks, refining existing tools, and building new systems from scratch. Whether it/'s optimizing data flows or engineering solutions for complex trading strategies, your work will directly impact how effectively the firm competes in the market.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving tough technical problems, and want your work to be seen and used at the core of a global trading operation, this role is for you. You’ll build and optimize high-performance trading apps used directly by expert traders—no middle layers, no red tape. Tackle real-time problems in low latency, high-frequency environments. We’re talking complex data, and making a real impact. Collaborate with traders, quants, and devs who are all about solving problems.

Details

- The role is based in Sydney CBD, in-office full-time (not remote); start/finish times are flexible.
