This leading Asset Manager is looking for a C# .Net, WCF, WPF / Winforms, SQL / Oracle developer to join their front office Equities pre trade IT systems development team. The role will face off directly the front office users i.e. Quants and Portfolio Managers and will be working on the next generation of portfolio construction, analysis and optimisation systems for the business.

Experience in the following is necessary for this position; proven ability to work with front or middle office users in what is sometimes a pressurised environment, C#.Net, .Net 3.5/4.0, Server side programming preferably using WCF, some front end programming using WPF or Winforms, also some database experience with Oracle or SQL, continuous build development methodologies with relatively short release cycles – the team uses a ‘close to’ agile development methodology.
