Senior Software Engineer, Cloud and Analytics Platform

Macquarie Group London, United Kingdom
Join our development team and play a key role in our expanding Engineering Services function. You'll help enhance our innovative analytics and rapid delivery platform as we digitise and modernise the Commodities and Global Markets platforms and applications. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, you'll enable the business to scale and seize new opportunities with agility.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you're empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

What role will you play?

You'll combine hands-on coding with thoughtful system design and a culture of continuous improvement to deliver resilient, highly scalable technology that keeps our Commodities and Global Markets business ahead of the curve. Leveraging best-in-class open-source frameworks and cloud-native services, you'll design, build and run the distributed-compute and data-science platform that powers Macquarie's trading and analytics workflows. Working side-by-side with quantitative analysts and trading desks worldwide, you'll transform research concepts into production-ready solutions-automating infrastructure with Python, Java or Scala and embedding AI-driven capabilities that boost developer productivity and unlock new insights.

What you offer

  • Hands-on experience with public-cloud platforms-ideally AWS-plus Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm or similar)
  • A proven track record of designing, building and running production-grade distributed-compute or data-science platforms
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to partner directly with quantitative analysts, traders and other stakeholders
  • A self-motivated, inquisitive mindset and a methodical, agile approach to problem-solving
  • Expertise in AI-driven development (e.g. prompt engineering, Claude, Agentic-AI frameworks, LLM, MCP tools)
  • Solid Linux administration and networking skills, plus Git-based workflows
  • Familiarity with Apache Airflow, Dask and JupyterHub
  • Experience with modern build systems (especially Bazel) and CI/CD pipelines.
We love hearing from anyone inspired to build a better future with us, if you're excited about the role or working at Macquarie we encourage you to apply.
