Job Description

Senior Python Developer - Trading / Risk / Fintech - Amsterdam - Over 100K OTE Possible.


Are you excited about building high-stakes trading systems where accuracy and reliability are critical? Do you have experience in risk technology or financial trading environments? Our client's Risk Tech team is developing a Risk & Alert Framework that traders will use daily-and they need your expertise to push it further.


Our client is a fast-growing cryptocurrency trading firm with offices in Amsterdam and Singapore. With a team of 110 people, they have nearly doubled in size last year. Their Risk Tech team is responsible for building internal risk and account management software-not the ultra-low latency trading systems, but the backbone that keeps everything running smoothly.


What You'll Do

  • Enhance and expand the existing Risk & Alert Framework used by traders.
  • Work closely with traders and stakeholders to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
  • Develop and maintain systems for risk monitoring, reporting, and alerting.
  • Collaborate within the trading, mid-office, and risk teams on internal tooling.


What They're Looking For

  • Experience with Python/SQL.
  • Experience in financial trading, risk, or fintech is a plus.
  • Attention to detail is crucial-a single mistake can have major consequences.
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills-you need to translate technical work into trader-friendly solutions. English is fine.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems and WebSockets is a bonus.
  • Not a specialized web developer role-this is about backend risk tech.
  • Bachelor's/Master's degree (e.g., TU Delft).


Nice To Have

  • Experience with C++ or Rust (especially if from a trading background).
  • Background in building high-stakes financial systems.


The Offer

  • Base salary: 80K - 120K (incl. holiday allowance). For juniors, this can be lower.
  • Bonus.
  • VISA Sponsorship & 30% Ruling.
  • Hybrid work (4 days in-office).
  • Work directly with traders and impact risk management strategies.


Location: Amsterdam - Only candidates in the Netherlands.
