Trading Systems Developer | C# | Investment Management | London, Hybrid

Trading Systems Developer | C# | Investment Management | London, Hybrid

We’re partnered with a leading investment management firm investing in the build-out of its in-house trading and investment technology platforms.

They are now looking for a Trading Systems Developer who can help design, build and evolve platform capability across the full FX and investment technology ecosystem.

This is not a generic C# development role. It’s a trading systems build role, focused on developing platform capability from the ground up across the full FX trade lifecycle.

They’re looking for someone who understands how an FX platform works end to end - from data ingestion, pricing and execution through to booking, positions, risk, P&L and downstream reporting.

You’ll work closely with trading, investment, risk, operations and technology teams to build robust, scalable systems that support real trading and investment workflows.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants real ownership across a trading platform, rather than being boxed into one small service, screen or isolated workflow.
