C# Team Lead London

This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world. Technology is central to Man's business strategy and we are constantly looking at better ways of doing things. Our culture embraces change; indeed change is the norm rather than the exception in a constantly evolving organisation and industry.

We are looking for skilled engineers with a genuine passion for technology to work within our C# Software Engineering teams. You will work on solutions in critical areas for an asset manager such as order management, trade settlement, risk management, fund accounting and client reporting.

All roles will have a balance of BAU and Project work. BAU work will involve maintaining the existing tech stack, 3rd line support and supporting the business with smaller enhancements and fixes, whilst project work will consist of longer term, more far-reaching changes that are a mixture of extending existing systems, incorporating new technologies and building out our strategic technology platform in line with our long-term vision.
