Role: Expert .NET Developer – Cross Asset Trading System

Location: Very Flexible. Can offer Remote with occasional travel to London City offices

Contract: 12 months

Rate: Up to £700/day

About the Role:

We are partnering with a leading investment bank on an ambitious programme to modernise and enhance their cross-asset trading systems. This is a technically challenging, hands-on role, ideal for an expert .NET developer with a strong SQL Server background and experience working in financial environments.

You will be joining a highly skilled team focused on performance, reliability, and scalability, tackling complex issues in real-time, data-driven applications. This is purely a tech-heavy role—business knowledge is helpful but not required.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading initiatives on DB modernisation and performance optimisation
• Archiving legacy data from key tables with precision to ensure smooth migrations
• Redesigning and refactoring high-activity tables to improve performance and maintainability
• Developing frameworks and tooling for real-time monitoring of trading systems
• Modernising and upgrading legacy codebases, driving best practices in .NET development

What We’re Looking For:

• Expert .NET Developer : Deep knowledge of .NET 8 and .NET 4.8
• SQL Server Proficiency : Strong fundamentals in querying, table design, and ETL processing large datasets (performance tuning not required)
• ADO.Net Expertise : Familiarity with EntityFramework or other ORMs is a plus, but not essential
• Async & Multithreading Mastery : Experience in low-latency, data-driven applications
• Attention to Detail : Ability to spot rare, critical issues before they reach production
• Previous experience in the finance industry , ideally in trading systems

Why This Role Is Exciting:

• Work remotely while tackling cutting-edge technical challenges
• Collaborate with a high-performing team on a strategic, high-impact programme
• Influence system design, architecture, and long-term performance improvements
• Competitive daily rates up to £700

If you’re a highly skilled .NET developer who thrives in challenging, high-stakes environments and loves working with complex, real-time systems, this is the perfect opportunity to make an impact.
