Reposted from JobServe:

Senior Python Developer - Automated Trading/Betting - London, Permanent
Skills: Python, Unix/Linux, Erlang, C, Haskell, APL/J/K, Lisp, Django

My client is a Sports Trading and Quantitative Research Software House based in West London with clients including market leading betting syndicates and high street bookmakers alike. They are presently looking for an exceptional Python developer to join a small team of industry leading technologists using cutting edge technology and quantitative techniques to overcome the betting industry's fundamental inefficiencies (namely a lack of automation, risk, efficient pricing and poor liquidity).

They are seeking a very strong Senior Python technologist with a broad range of technical experience acquired over 5 + years within a professional environment. Applicants with a strong interest in other Scripting languages, Erlang, Haskell and Unix/Linux would be especially sought after. As would those with experience developing reliable, fault tolerant applications.

The successful applicant will be joining an elite team working on the extension and improvement of an award winning Automated Sports Betting Systems, presently tailored specifically towards the Football markets, but with planned expansion to other sports. Previous experience working on similarly automated trading systems within finance or betting would be preferable, but those from outside the industry with a keen interest in Sport will be considered. Applicants will most likely be considered the technical authority on Python within their represent employer.

My client offers a technology focused environment which is relaxed (no suits, good work/life balance) yet technically excellent. They have already attracted some of the industries top talent by offering the best of both worlds, exposure to a broad range of automated trading and sports betting products in a high output environment with creative software house feel.

If interested, please email your CV to (see below).
