The Role

About this role

Are you interested in building innovative technology that shapes the financial markets? Do you like working at the speed of a startup, but want to solve some of the world’s most complex problems? Do you want to work with, and learn from, hands-on leaders in technology and finance?

At BlackRock, we are looking for a C#/React Full-Stack Senior Engineer who likes to innovate and solve complex problems. We recognise that strength comes from diversity, and will embrace your unique skills, curiosity, and passion while giving you the opportunity to grow technically and as an individual. 

With over USD $12 trillion of assets, we have an exceptional responsibility: our technology empowers millions of investors to save for retirement, pay for college, buy a home and improve their financial well-being. 

Being a developer at BlackRock means you get the best of both worlds: working for one of the most advanced financial companies and being part of a software development team responsible for innovative technology solutions.  

Within the Aladdin Product Engineering group, Blackrock’s Tactical Solutions team provides enterprise-level, rapid application development (RAD) solutions that adhere to industry recognised best practices. Team members work in conjunction with business units throughout the firm to develop solutions that:

You will be able to own all aspects of development across the full life cycle, from inception and requirements gathering to delivery. We work with modern tooling (.Net 10 / React 18) and have the freedom to select the best tools and innovate to solve any problem. There will be the opportunity to lead smaller squads of developers where there is a need to accelerate development, giving you experience of people management. 

Responsibilities:          

  • Own and manage high-profile, critical projects and ensure successful delivery by working closely with business stakeholders. 

  • Work as technical lead through the whole SDLC, understanding and refining systems requirements 

  • Design and write code, testing and QA, and clearly documenting the development process. 

  • Understand and support existing applications and resolve operational issues. 

  • Improve current processes through technical leadership including bringing new technologies onboard such as cloud native and AI integration.
