Description
Senior Python Developer (With Java)
This is with a global IT services firm for a leading investment/wealth management services firm.
Client Location is downtown Toronto Ontario, close to TTC and GO service.
Hybrid - In Office 4 days per week.
Contract - 6 months, possible renewal
Project Description:
We are seeking a hands-on talent to support delivery within the Total Fund Management Portfolio Management Technology team. This role is suited for an experienced, self-directed individual who can operate with a high degree of autonomy, take ownership of outcomes, and deliver working solutions with minimal day-to-day oversight.

- Develop cloud-native applications (AWS preferred)
- Implement workflow automation and data pipelines where needed
- Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including CI/CD
- Ensure solutions are production-ready, including testing, documentation, and handover
- Act as a reliable execution partner, escalating issues early when required
Mandatory Skills:
- Prior consulting, advisory, or client-facing delivery experience
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments
- Proven independent delivery without close supervision
- Strong Python experience in enterprise environments (5+ years) + Knowledge in Java (2 years)
- Experience with SQL queries, Docker/Kubernetes
- Strong cloud experience (AWS)
- Strong unit and integration testing practices
- Additional experience: message queues (e.g., SQS, Kafka, etc.)
Nice-to-Have Skills:
- Experience building low-latency applications and CI/CD pipelines
- Capital Markets domain knowledge
- Trading / Portfolio Management experience is preferred.
