Senior/Lead Software Engineer - Private Debt

SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer.

We are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated in our everyday work.

Technology Focus

• Today: the Private Debt module work is primarily in APL with strong engineering practices around quality, review and delivery.
• Next: as we modernize and evolve the solution, more C#/.NET work is expected over time, particularly around architecture, platform integration, cloud enablement and new components.

What You Will Be Responsible For

• Lead design and development of backend systems in APL (current core).
• Architect scalable, secure, high-performance solutions as we move toward cloud-native approaches on Microsoft Azure.
• Mentor and guide engineers through code reviews, technical planning and agile ways of working.
• Partner closely with Product and engineering peers to deliver outcomes that matter, fast feedback, reliable delivery and maintainable code.
• Drive code quality and reliability via unit testing, integration testing, CI/CD and pragmatic engineering standards.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and bugs and devise sustainable solutions.
• Use Git-based workflows and work effectively in a continuous integration environment.
• Collaborate with cross-located teams and contribute to shared ways of working across sites.
• Require excellent business and communication skills and to be able to understand client specific requirements.

Your Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, or related field.
• 5+ years of software development experience.
• Strong engineering fundamentals: object-oriented design, architecture patterns, clean code, and pragmatic problem solving.
• Solid experience in C#/.NET (Core/Framework) and building backend systems (APIs, services, integrations).
• Familiarity with APIs (REST/streaming patterns) and messaging concepts (e.g., service bus patterns).
• Proficient understanding of code versioning tools such as Git.
• Experience with automated testing and CI/CD, plus strong code review habits.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Comfortable collaborating with multiple stakeholders and communicating clearly in an international environment.

APL Readiness

• You don’t need prior APL experience. What matters is curiosity and willingness to learn. We provide training and a supportive environment to help you succeed, and SimCorp partly owns Dyalog APL, helping ensure the language remains actively maintained and relevant.

Nice-to-Have

• FinTech / regulated-industry experience.
• Exposure to vector-based or functional languages (helpful for ramping up in APL).
• Experience in a technical leadership role.

Benefits Competitive salary, bonus scheme, and pension are essential for any work agreement. However, at SimCorp, we believe we can offer more.
