Senior Engineering Manager – Trading / Middle Office Systems

About

This is a high-impact leadership role inside a well-established, globally respected investment firm — operating at scale across multiple asset classes.

You’ll lead a team responsible for building and evolving the core systems that sit behind trade processing, asset servicing, and post-trade workflows — directly supporting front office, risk, and operations.

This is not a pure management role. You’ll operate as a hands-on engineering leader, owning both delivery and architecture across business-critical platforms.

Responsibilities

• Ownership of core trading lifecycle systems — trade capture, allocation, matching, and post-trade processing
• Direct impact on business-critical workflows (T+0 / T+1 processing, asset servicing, operational risk)
• Leading a high-caliber team while remaining close to design, architecture, and complex problem-solving
• Building and scaling modern, cloud-native systems (containerized, event-driven architecture)
• Leading end-to-end delivery across both strategic initiatives and live production systems
• Designing scalable, resilient platforms handling high-volume transactional workloads

Qualifications

We’re looking for engineers who:

• Have strong experience building systems within trading, post-trade, or financial data environments
• Combine technical depth (C#/.NET or similar backend systems) with leadership experience
• Have built or worked on distributed, event-driven systems (Kafka or similar)
• Are comfortable operating in cloud-native environments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS or similar)
• Enjoy solving complex, time-sensitive problems in production environments

This is an opportunity to step into a role where the systems you build and lead are central to how the business operates — not peripheral.
