✨ AI‑Generated
A backend software engineer is sought for a commercial-facing engineering team building real-time systems for complex market workflows. You will develop and maintain services that query live data, orchestrate operational processes, generate structured outputs, and integrate with downstream systems. Strong C#, SQL, and event-driven systems experience is valuable, along with the ability to understand complex systems and balance robustness with delivery speed.
Highlights
Work on real-time, mission-critical systems supporting complex trading workflows. The role offers technically challenging backend engineering, close collaboration with commercial and technology stakeholders, and the opportunity to build accurate, resilient, high-integrity data systems.
Description
Software Engineer | C# / SQL / Event‑Driven Systems | Front‑Office Delivery | £81,000 | Commodities & Energy | Hybrid, UK
A Software Engineer is required to join a commercial‑facing Front Office Delivery group responsible for building and maintaining the systems that power real‑time trading workflows across European power markets.
This team sits directly between trading, operations and enterprise technology, delivering platforms that query live positions, generate market orders, orchestrate operational processes and feed structured messages into trade‑capture systems
.The work is fast‑moving, highly collaborative and deeply technical.
You’ll be working on systems that traders and analysts rely on every day tools that must be accurate, resilient and capable of handling high‑integrity data flows.
The environment rewards engineers who can understand complex systems quickly, break down ambi
guous requirements, and design solutions that balance robustness with delivery speed
.
You’ll be involved end‑to‑end: defining architectures, building distributed services, modernising legacy workflows, and contributing to front‑end features used by desks to launch batches, optimise processes and manage explicit orders.
The team values engineers who enjoy learning new technologies, exploring new problem spaces and building systems that are genuinely supportable.
There is also a strong focus on leveraging AI tooling to improve code quality, test coverage and delivery efficienc
