The team is actively executing an advanced migration toward a modern, event-driven back-end microservices architecture while supporting interactive UI tools used daily by several hundred users.
Role OverviewWe are looking for a passionate Senior C# / .NET Developer to build, modernize, and scale our core front-office calculation engines.

Build and tune database objects, complex queries, and data access layers using MS SQL Server and Dapper.
Implement real-time communication feeds and RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Web API and SignalR.
Leverage LLMs and practical agentic AI workflows (Copilot, Claude) within daily engineering to accelerate testing, refactoring, and delivery.
Functional Implementation
Implement core calculation logic across at least two of the following business areas:
Liquidity Risk & Treasury: Cash-flow time-bucketing, NSFR, RNFB, LCR, or liquidity buffers.
Cash Forecasting: Forward cash projections and contractual vs. behavioral maturities.
Balance Sheet & Capital Metrics: Leverage exposure and financial resource utilization.
XVA & Pricing Adjustments: CVA, FVA, ColVA, and funding costs.
Risks & Greeks: Non-linear sensitivities (Delta, Gamma, Vega) and PnL Explain.
Financial Products: Listed or OTC derivatives.
Pre-Trade Analytics: Trade simulation, margin/funding impact checks, and booking workflows.
Delivery & Engineering Standards
Deliver clean, testable, and maintainable code adhering to SOLID principles and design patterns.
Participate in automated CI/CD pipelines using Git (Bitbucket), TeamCity, Jenkins, or Ansible.
Maintain high standards of ownership, transparency, and operational risk mitigation.
Core Technologies
Languages & Frameworks: C# .NET, Windows Services, ASP.NET Web API, SignalR
