C# Developer - Front Office Engineering Hedge Fund eFinancialCareers

We're working with a leading fixed income hedge fund in London that is expanding its front-office engineering team. The fund has a strong performance track record, a deep commitment to technology, and a culture where engineers work side-by-side with quants and traders to build the systems that drive the investment process.

In this role, you'll help design, build, and enhance a range of high-impact trading and research platforms. Projects vary from core trading system development to front-office tooling, data-driven applications, and the use of machine learning across the investment workflow. It's a fast-moving, highly technical environment where code quality, performance, and reliability matter. The team runs weekly sprints, uses modern engineering practices (PR reviews, rapid releases, continuous development), and has a strong track record of developing talent.

We've partnered with this group and their CTO, for several years and have placed multiple engineers into the team, so can provide detailed insight into structure, expectations, and progression. The fund looks for low-ego, high-performing engineers who enjoy ownership, collaboration, and solving complex problems with pragmatic, commercial solutions. You'll have direct interaction with PMs, quants, and the CTO, contributing across design, architecture, and production support.
