Work in a fast‑paced, event‑driven environment, designing and delivering scalable services and tooling. Influence architectural decisions and help modernise core platforms used across trading, analytics, and data teams.

• C# experience is a plus
• Understanding of distributed systems, Kafka, containerisation, and Kubernetes
• Comfortable working in Azure cloud environments
• Solid communication skills – able to work closely with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• No deep data‑warehouse knowledge needed, but should understand high‑level architecture and system design concepts
• Financial Services/FinTech experience is not necessary but a plus

Offer:

• Up to £80,000 base salary + discretionary bonus
• 25 days holiday + medical insurance
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days remote
