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 looking for a skilled C# Engineer to work within one of our Risk Engineering teams.

• Participate in the planning, design, and delivery of longer-term projects alongside senior engineers
• Develop and maintain core tools and services for risk data onboarding, analysis, and quality management at scale
• Collaborate with Risk Officers and other Engineering teams to deliver solutions for Investment Risk across Man Group

• A proponent of collaborative software engineering practices: code review, unit testing, continuous integration, and refactoring
• Embracing agentic engineering — willingness and ability to work effectively with AI-assisted development tools as part of daily workflow
• Confident communicator — able to articulate ideas clearly and deal constructively with differing views
• A genuine willingness to learn new technologies, programming languages, and domain knowledge

Advantageous but not required

• Exposure to Python and its scientific ecosystem (numpy, pandas, scipy)
