Lead Engineer

🚨 Lead Python Engineer | Singapore 🚨 I'm working on a rare opportunity for a hands-on Lead Python Engineer to join one of the world's leading investment firms, building technology that underpins a high-performing commodities trading business. This is not a traditional central technology role. You'll work side-by-side with the front office, owning everything from data pipelines and research platforms through to analytics tooling, AI-driven workflows and internal applications. If you enjoy taking ideas from whiteboard to production while working directly with end users, this is exactly that environment. You'll likely be a great fit if you have: ✅ Strong Python engineering experience ✅ Experience leading projects, mentoring engineers or operating in a senior technical leadership role ✅ Native Mandarin language skills (essential) ✅ Commercial mindset with excellent stakeholder management ✅ Commodities experience would be highly advantageous (although other financial markets backgrounds will also be considered) ✅ Comfortable working across global teams spanning Singapore, London and the US Why this role stands out: 💡 Front-office aligned engineering with real business impact 🤖 Significant investment in AI and LLM-enabled research tooling 🌍 Work alongside some of the strongest engineering and investment talent in the industry ⏳ The team is happy to wait for outstanding candidates serving non-compete periods If you're an experienced engineer looking for a role where your work directly influences investment outcomes, I'd be happy to tell you more. 📩 Apply via LinkedIn or send me a confidential message.
