Corporate: Engage in a deep variety of business-critical activities that keep our company running efficiently. From strategic marketing and financial management to human resources and operational oversight, you’ll have the opportunity to optimize processes and implement game-changing policies.

Responsibilities

Position Purpose: You’ll own the data and risk-feed backbone of the Intelligent Risk Team - building the backend services that ingest, process and model client data (budgets, financial and physical positions) and turn it into the custom, AI-augmented risk feeds that power personalized, client-specific risk views across Nexus Intelligence. Your work directly underpins KnowRisk position & budget modeling, the Strategy Builder hedge engine, and the AI risk models that run on client data. As a senior, hands-on member of a lean agile team, you’ll have real ownership over the architecture, quality and direction of the risk-data platform.

Tech Stack You’ll Work With

• Languages & Frameworks: C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core
• Architecture: Microservices, event-driven (Kafka, ActiveMQ), CQRS
• Data & Pipelines: high-throughput ingestion, transformation & normalization; time-series and positional/financial data; custom data and risk feeds
• Cloud & Infra: Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Rancher, TeamCity, Octopus, Grafana
• Databases: MS SQL Server (T-SQL), PostgreSQL, NoSQL
• Tooling: GitHub, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio / Rider, ReSharper
• AI Tools: GitHub Copilot, MS Copilot, Anthropic Claude (incl. Claude Code); integrating with AI risk models and AI-assisted development workflows

Primary Duties Will Include

• Design and build scalable, low-latency backend services that ingest, transform, normalize and serve client data - budgets, financial positions and physical positions - that powers risk modeling across the Risk & AI Vertical.
• Build and operate the custom data and risk feeds that deliver personalized, client-specific risk views, including KnowRisk position & budget modelling and Strategy Builder hedge recommendations.
• Process user data and usage signals, and expose them to AI risk models so insights and recommendations adapt to each client’s portfolio, exposures and permissions.
• Architect event-driven pipelines (Kafka / ActiveMQ) for high-throughput, reliable processing, and expose data to downstream Nexus surfaces via well-designed APIs and streams.
• Own data quality, lineage, entitlement and security across sensitive client data, applying best practices for permissioning, encryption and auditability in a regulated environment.
• Partner with the Data & Analytics team on upstream intake and with the Intelligence Weaving team on surfacing risk insights across other Nexus domains.
• Participate in code reviews, design sessions and agile ceremonies; provide design diagrams and documentation for the systems you build.
• Act as a technical mentor and a source of guidance, anticipating issues at the product level and making architecture and design decisions to avoid them.
• Continuously explore and evaluate new technologies - including AI tooling - that could improve the risk-data platform.

Qualifications

To Land this role you will need:

• 5+ years of professional backend development experience with C# / .NET (.NET Core).
• Strong experience building and operating data processing pipelines - ingestion, transformation, normalization - and working with large or high-throughput datasets.
• Hands-on experience with event-driven / messaging systems such as Kafka or ActiveMQ and asynchronous data processing.
• Solid relational database skills with Microsoft SQL Server (T-SQL) and/or PostgreSQL, plus experience with NoSQL; comfortable designing schemas and writing optimized queries.
• Experience designing and building RESTful (and/or gRPC) APIs for scalability, performance, security and high availability.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker, and cloud services (Azure preferred).
• Strong grasp of distributed systems, multithreading and performance, and of cross-cutting concerns: authentication, authorization, permissioning, caching, logging and security.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with sensitive client data responsibly.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams; fluent in English (spoken and written).
• A growth mindset and eagerness to stay current with industry trends.

What makes you stand out:

• Experience with risk management, hedging, commodities, or financial markets - or a strong desire to learn.
• Exposure to AI / ML model integration, feature/usage pipelines, or AI-augmented data products.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, MS Copilot, Anthropic Claude / Claude Code, Cursor).
• Experience with time-series data, data warehouses, ETL, and data-lineage / cataloguing.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrated leadership / mentorship experience.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent hands-on experience.

Working Environment

• 4 days in office per week
