Full Stack Engineer | Global Trading Firm | London, Hybrid

Tech: C#/.NET - React - Mathematical / Quant Background

Our client is a global, privately held firm, operating in fast-moving, data-intensive markets. Technology is central to how the business runs, with engineers building analytics, optimisation, and decision-support systems used directly by front-office, fiscal, commercial, and operational teams. The environment is high-performance, low-bureaucracy, and focused on solving complex, real-world problems where accuracy, speed, clarity, and commercial impact genuinely matter.

The firm is now looking for a Full Stack Developer (C#/.NET + React) with a strong mathematical or quantitative background, to help build and scale platforms that support complex modelling, forecasting, optimisation, and decision-making workflows.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining serious problem-solving with modern software engineering, working across C#/.NET backend services and React frontends, and who is comfortable working with complex data, models, business logic, constraints, and numerical accuracy.

You do not need to be a quant developer, but you should enjoy working close to mathematical problems, optimisation logic, and business-critical analytical systems.

• At least 4 years' of strong experience with React and modern frontend development, with the ability to build clean, maintainable, data-driven user interfaces.
• Strong mathematical or analytical problem-solving ability, with confidence working around numerical data, models, constraints, edge cases, and correctness.
• Exposure to linear programming, mathematical optimisation, operations research, modelling, forecasting, or decision-support systems.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and computational problem-solving.
• Experience working with relational databases and SQL, such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
• Ability to work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including fiscal, finance, commercial, trading, analytical, or operational teams.
• Strong communication skills and a pragmatic engineering mindset.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on exposure to optimisation libraries, solvers, or modelling tools.
• Experience with event-driven systems, messaging, async workflows, or concurrent systems.
• Experience building tools used by fiscal, finance, trading, analytics, or commercial teams.
• Interest in linear programming, constraint optimisation, modelling, scenario analysis, or decision-support platforms.
