The role
Our client is a global investment management firm currently recruiting Software Developers with a focus on the .NET platform. This is a small team of researchers and software developers analysing and trading financial and other markets. They develop tools for the in-house services and identify new opportunities for trading. The day-to-day work is evidence-driven and supported by highly automated processes.
They enjoy a collaborative environment with colleagues from a solid science and programming background. The London office is conveniently based in the City.
You will be exposed to creating and maintaining their own applications based around a C#/.NET/SQL Server/ASP.NET universe. Many projects are greenfield projects and allow you to make your own mark on the development process early on.
