NET Engineer

As a Senior .NET Engineer you will work on demanding projects for leading financial institutions, primarily in the area of financial portals and digital brokerage solutions. You will be part of distributed, international project teams and closely collaborate with colleagues in Germany and other locations. Depending on the specific project assignment, your responsibilities will include:

• Design and development of high performance backend services and APIs for trading, order routing, portfolio views, and market data
• Implementation and enhancement of core components in .NET with a strong focus on code quality, robustness, and performance
• Participation in the technical design and architecture of distributed, event driven systems in the capital markets environment
• Close cooperation with business analysts and product owners to refine requirements; active contribution to solution design and feasibility assessments
• Direct interaction with clients (as needed) to clarify technical questions, support integration, and provide 3rd level support for complex issues
• Continuous improvement of existing systems (maintenance, performance tuning, refactoring) and involvement in production support
• Contribution to best practices in the team (coding standards, design patterns, CI/CD, testing) and mentoring of less experienced developers
