ROLE SUMMARY
Are you a software developer who loves building software that actually gets used?
Join us at FTSE Russell We're building a team of engineers who care about software craftsmanship, clean code, and shipping things that matter. As a Software Engineer, you'll build the services, libraries, and applications that power the indices trusted by financial institutions worldwide.
We work primarily in Python, so that's our preference — but we care far more about whether you can genuinely build software than about which language you built it in. If your track record is in Java, C#, C, C++, Scala, Go, or Rust and you're keen to work in Python, we want to hear from you. Strong engineers pick up a new language quickly; strong engineering judgement takes years.
This is a hands-on software development role. You'll spend your days designing, coding, testing, and shipping — in a contemporary AWS environment, alongside engineers who review each other's code, pair when it helps, and take real ownership of what they build. The systems you work on handle serious volumes of financial data,



so there's a rich data dimension to the problems — but the craft we're hiring for is software engineering.
If you've built real software and want to keep building, we'd love to meet you.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
We're building the next-generation index data platform at FTSE Russell — and we want you to help build it:
- Writing production code, primarily in Python — services, APIs, libraries, and command-line tools that are modular, well-tested, and built to be maintained by others
- Designing and building software components end to end, from breaking down a problem through to deployment and support in production
- Applying modern software engineering practices every day: version control, trunk-based development, CI/CD, code review, refactoring, and automated testing (unit, integration, contract)
- Taking ownership of features and systems — you debug your own problems, fix them properly, and take respon
