Job description
At Intropic, we’re building the future of financial intelligence, where deep market expertise meets the power of AI. Founded in London’s financial centre of Canary Wharf, we exist to transform complex data into clarity, precision, and action. Our culture is shaped by truth-seeking, velocity, and ownership, values that drive how we build, learn, and collaborate every day. We move fast, think independently, and hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and impact. Here, curiosity isn’t just encouraged, it’s essential. If you’re driven by challenge, inspired by innovation, and ready to amplify your intelligence alongside a team of exceptional thinkers, Intropic is where your ideas can truly compound.

  • Work directly with clients to expand product features  with a focus on how our data can produce investment alpha.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain performant PostgreSQL queries and datastores for financial data.
  • Design, build, and maintain well-tested and production-ready Python HTTP APIs and pipelines.
  • Use automated testing to build and own features from conception to deployment. 

Requirements

  • SQL / data processing experience
  • Scalable data pipeline development
  • Some experience building effective programmatic interfaces in any language.
