The Team
This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers. Technology is central to Man’s business strategy, and we are constantly evolving to stay ahead. Our culture embraces change and innovation, with engineering at the heart of our operating platform.
We are seeking Software Engineers with deep expertise in a modern OO language to lead the design and development of mission-critical systems across our domain. Our server platform is built on C#/.NET, and while direct experience with this stack is advantageous, we welcome engineers who bring strong fundamentals and a proven ability to adapt across languages and ecosystems. You will play a key role in shaping technical strategy and driving architectural decisions within a high-performing team.
A great chance to collaborate, and learn alongside, highly skilled engineers whilst building up core financial and order management knowledge. New joiners will get the chance to work on the latest and best technologies for the challenges ahead.

- Conduct code reviews and provide technical guidance to peers and junior engineers
- Proactively identify and reduce technical debt, improve system resilience, and optimize performance
- Lead incident response and root cause analysis for production issues
- Contribute to the evolution of our engineering culture and platform strategy
