Own the tech that traders rely on. Lead the people who build it.
We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Developer to drive high-impact front-office technology for the Commodities Markets business in London. This is a senior role for someone who can lead, build, and deliver—equally comfortable writing C# as they are steering priorities with traders and senior stakeholders.

Leadership with impact – manage and grow a skilled DevProx team in London
-
Global exposure – work closely with Paris and international teams
What you’ll be doing
-
Lead and mentor a London-based Development team, ensuring robust coverage during trading hours
-
Act as the key interface between Front Office and IT, translating business urgency into delivery
-
Design, build and support pricing, market data, risk and reporting tools across commodities (energy, metals, gas, carbon, indices)
-
Drive agile delivery, production stability, and long-term strategic solutions
-
Champion innovation, efficiency gains, and operational risk reduction
What you bring
-
10+ years’ experience in financial systems development, including 2–3 years leading teams
-
Strong front-office exposure; commodities knowledge a strong advantage
-
Deep expertise in C#/.NET, .NET Core, WPF, microservices, Angular, SQL/Oracle/MongoDB
-
Experience with market data platforms (Bloomberg, RMDS, Reuters)
-
Confident communicator who can engage traders, heads of desk, and senior management
-
Agile mindset, proactive attitude, and genuine interest in global markets
-
French language skills are a plus
If you want to lead from the front, build systems that matter, and work at the heart of commodities trading, this role is for you.
