About the Company

Neptune North was founded in 2024 as a joint venture between Oliver Wyman, a global leader in management consulting and part of the NYSE-listed Marsh, and Rokos Capital Management, a global alternative investment fund manager. Our people are exceptional technical experts, who thrive on exploiting leading-edge technologies to solve the most complex problems. We provide bespoke technology solutions to businesses operating in the banking and financial services, private capital and defence industries. Our working environment is founded on principles of trust, collaboration and shared purpose. We pride ourselves both on the high calibre of our people, and on the supportive workplace they create, where each individual is given autonomy to grow and thrive. From our headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, we operate across our international office network. We are expanding rapidly, building teams in key markets to stay close to our clients and talent.

About the Job

Our client's Systematic Tech team builds and maintains the firmwide platform powering systematic research, trading, and production operations across macro and equities. You will write the code that powers signal generation, execution, backtesting and risk monitoring; partner directly with the investment team to translate their work into production systems; and contribute to a single shared codebase used across asset classes. The successful candidate will combine production-engineering depth, fluency working with quantitative research workflows, and a delivery mindset to take features from prototype through to live trading. This is a hands-on individual contributor role: you will be expected to write code, design pipelines, and ship features personally, while working closely with the investment team, traders, and adjacent technology teams.

Role & Responsibilities

  • ● Build and maintain the infrastructure for large-scale systematic equities trading - data flow, backtesting framework, signal generation pipelines, model and result registries, execution, and post-trade flows, and the operational tooling used by the teams.
  • ● Maintain and extend safe, low-touch execution systems capable of trading large volumes with minimal manual intervention, integrating with the firm's OMS, EMS, and broker algos.
  • ● Design for resilience and supportability - build alerting, observability, and operational runbooks alongside the infrastructure itself; provide live production support to drive issues to root cause; ensure systems remain reliable in the long term.
