Job Title: Quantitative Developer Location: London, UK (Hybrid) Duration: 12 Months+ Extendable contract Job Description Looking for a highly senior hands-on Quantitative Engineer / Quant Developer with strong experience in Exotic OTC Derivatives pricing and risk modelling. This is a pure hands-on individual contributor role and not suitable for managerial, architecture-only, or research-focused candidates. Should have around 15-20+ years of experience in quantitative development with strong exposure to production-grade pricing libraries, risk engines, calibration frameworks, and exotic payoff models across asset classes such as Equity, Rates, FX, and Commodities. Need someone who can independently write pricing algorithms, validate quantitative outputs, and explain the mathematical models and pricing papers in detail. The candidate should be capable of verifying pricing numbers against market standards and supporting client-facing validation documentation. Python is the preferred primary programming language, while strong Java experience is also highly preferred because the team works primarily in a Java-based environment. Candidates with C++ background can also be considered if they have strong quantitative engineering experience. Requires strong experience in performance optimization, scalable pricing implementations, and low-latency quantitative systems. This role requires both numerical accuracy and production efficiency. The candidate should have deep understanding of exotic derivatives, OTC market behaviour, pricing conventions, curve frameworks, sensitivities, calibration techniques, stress testing, and real-world quantitative modelling constraints. Candidates with a Master's or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields are preferred. However, strong commercial experience can compensate for the absence of a PhD.

We are an ambitious team incubated and supported by ImpactEd Group. The role would be employed by TEP Services Limited. Our platform has been built from the ground up by a small, skilled development team over the past three years. We are appointing a Senior Rails Engineer at a pivotal moment, joining as a senior individual contributor with strong influence on product planning and the roadmap, owning two products in the TEP ecosystem, and acting as the senior technical reference point for the wider development team. You will work closely with our fractional CTO and the TEP Director to translate strategic priorities into well-built software, helping us actively embed AI-assisted development practices that we believe will significantly change how our team works over the next two years.

The right person will care about the quality of what they build, be genuinely curious about the problems schools and trusts are trying to solve, and be excited about using AI tooling not as a shortcut but as a genuine accelerant for good work. What you ll inherit A proven, established codebase. Three years of well-considered Ruby on Rails development serving 600+ schools across the UK, Australia and the UAE, with active users, real data, and a roadmap shaped by partner feedback. A small, capable, agile team alongside you. Early-mid career developers learning from your day-to-day practice, with a culture of peer review, pair programming and honest feedback already in place. A fractional CTO and an engaged Director. Architectural sounding board on one side, a Director who understands the platform and the partner base on the other. You will not be navigating priorities alone. A clear AI-first direction. AI assisted development tools are in use and central to how we expect the team to work going forward. You will help shape that practice. Real product ambition. A roadmap that includes deeper data pipelines, international growth, and the underlying infrastructure to support a national-scale evidence base. A base in Leeds. A vibrant, accessible city-centre office at Platform, New Station Street, two minutes from Leeds station, in the heart of the northern tech hub. Remote-first or office-based at your preference.

We want to move fast without accumulating debt. Contribute to the ongoing improvement of our development processes, tooling and ways of working as the team and platform grow. Lead on security and platform performance workstreams. Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code and similar) as a genuine part of your daily working practice, not as an occasional aid. Product planning You will Collaborate with the Director and fractional CTO on roadmap prioritisation, balancing new features, fixes, security and technical debt with a clear view of capacity and complexity. Translate product priorities into well-scoped, well-estimated technical work, developing cards, running planning sessions and ensuring the team has clarity on what they are building and why. Engage in sprint planning and retrospectives, contributing to how we continuously improve our delivery cadence. Bring your own perspective on where AI tooling adds value and where it introduces risk. We want someone who uses these tools critically and thoughtfully. Contribute to how we think about AI in product development more broadly. This is an area we are actively investing in and your input will shape our approach. Provide the Director with clear, honest technical input on decisions that have a product or strategic dimension. Problem solving You will: Respond to bug reports, both automated exceptions and human reports, working with the team to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.
