Senior Software Engineer (back-end)

Do you want to be part of the team behind the leading convertible bonds technology, data, and services?

Founded in 2010, Leversys provides trading and risk management systems, data products, and related services to leading global investment banks and many of the world’s top 50 hedge funds.

The company is a dynamic, small, flat-structured organization with offices in major global financial centers.

Leversys’s valuation model, systems, and data are recognized as among the market leaders in the convertible bonds space.

Following the launch of the Marketspace platform, Leversys is entering an exciting scale-up phase, aiming to play a leading role in the digitalization of the convertibles market.

This creates opportunities for team members to make a meaningful impact while growing alongside the business as the product offering continues to expand.

As a Senior Software Engineer (back-end), you will:

• Join a product development team involved in the full delivery lifecycle, from concept and specification through UI design, development, QA, and release.
• Work closely with product leads to turn ideas and client requirements into shipped features, with real ownership throughout.
