Senior VP - Credit Risk SME Developer

VP Credit Risk Technology | C# / .NET / SQL | London I'm working with a major global investment bank that is expanding its Credit Risk Technology capability in London. This is a VP-level engineering role for someone who sits at the intersection of software engineering and Credit Risk. They are not looking for a generic C# developer who happens to have worked in financial services, genuine Credit Risk knowledge is a core requirement. The successful candidate will join an established risk technology function during a significant period of transformation, with responsibility spanning both hands-on engineering and broader architectural / technical leadership. What you'll be working on:

• Building and enhancing Credit Risk technology platforms
• C# / .NET application development and technical design
• SQL, data processing, feeds and batch infrastructure
• Credit Risk analytics, modelling and risk calculations
• Counterparty / Credit Risk technology and related risk data
• Large-scale migration and transformation programmes
• Consolidation and integration of third-party risk platforms
• Replacement / modernisation of legacy risk technology
• New entities, feeds, data pipelines and business processes
• Increasing use of AI-assisted engineering and tools such as GitHub Copilot
• Working closely with Risk, Technology and senior stakeholders The background we're looking for:
• Strong commercial C# / .NET development experience
• Strong SQL skills
• Proven experience working directly within Credit Risk or Counterparty Credit Risk
• Understanding of credit exposure, limits, collateral, credit calculations, risk analytics or related functionality
• Experience building technology for a Risk function rather than simply supporting generic financial systems
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and an ability to operate at VP level
• Architecture, technical leadership or team leadership experience is advantageous
• Exposure to S&P, RiskMetrics or other third-party Credit Risk platforms would be particularly relevant
• Experience with migration / transformation programmes is useful
• Practical exposure to AI-assisted development is a plus Important: Market Risk, Liquidity Risk or Regulatory Reporting experience alone will not be sufficient. The key requirement is demonstrable Credit Risk / Counterparty Credit Risk experience. The role is based in Central London / Moorgate, with 3 days per week in the office and Thursday as the key team day. There is also a genuine progression path towards Architecture and Technical Team Leadership. If you're a senior C# engineer who has spent meaningful time building technology within Credit Risk / Counterparty Risk, I'd be interested in speaking with you.
