Our .NET Developers are primarily engaged in building innovative new trading front-ends in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and/or Silverlight. The typical type of system we deliver has a Java/C++ on Unix back-end and a Windows trader desktop front-end, focused on efficiently delivering large volumes of trade or pricing data to the desktop. Therefore, experience with multi-threaded UI's, efficient memory and thread management, and judicious use of screen real-estate are important considerations for these positions.

Additionally we do work in ASP.NET, often related to building sophisticated web-services projects, or helping our clients create engaging end-user web applications. Therefore a solid understanding of Web Services and ASP.NET internals, combined with a capacity and desire for creating web applications (information architecture, AJAX, html) is useful as well.

In addition, we are always looking for these core skills:
Professional software development experience, including at least 2 years with C# and .NET, Java technologies, WPF and/or C++
Strong grasp of software design patterns and effective development methodologies
Demonstrated experience writing commercial-grade software applications with a preference for thick-client apps over web-based apps
Deep understanding of multithreading and real-time software architectures
Driven to produce software of the highest quality through self-discipline, clear and engaged communication, and attention to detail
An abiding interest in and competence for solving real-world business problems (with technology as an enabler)
Ability to communicate effectively and to influence client strategy, tactics, and perceptions
