Lead Software Engineer

SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer.

Why this role is important to us We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Transactions & Private Debt product area and contribute to business-critical functionality used by our clients in their daily investment operations.

You will work as part of an experienced engineering team, contributing to backend development, component design, performance, reliability and maintainability.
