Senior Software Engineer (C#/.NET) – Energy Trading Front Office Risk
About the Role
We seek a C#/.NET Software Engineer to join a cutting-edge energy trading organisation, delivering critical Unified Position Management (UPM) technologies for traders, risk teams, and quants.
This isn’t maintenance—it’s evolving a real-time, event-driven trading platform that consolidates positions, validates risk exposure, and drives decision-making across Power, Gas, Renewables, and Environmental markets.
If you thrive in high-stakes technical environments where data accuracy dictates profitability, apply now.
Core Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable C#/.NET services for real-time position aggregation, risk calculation, and validation across globally traded energy markets.
- Develop event-driven architectures to process trades, amendments, and market movements, ensuring fast, deterministic state updates.
- Collaborate with traders, risk managers, and quants, translating complex business rules into efficient code.
- Integrate with ** trading layers (AZS, Bloomberg), market data feeds, risk platforms (GPex), and reporting tools**.
- Improve observability, testability, and maintainability of business-critical systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
