Description

Join a small, talented team of developers at Wolverine Asset Management to solve the business's problems with technology. You'll play a key part in building new applications and extending existing functionality, gaining valuable experience while helping us pursue the best coding patterns and practices. Knowledge of finance or trading is a plus, but not required.

What You’ll Do

• Perform full-stack development of primarily desktop applications using .NET technologies and SQL Server, working alongside developers and traders in a dynamic environment
• Design, develop, and support applications that solve real business problems, applying strong troubleshooting skills to resolve software issues
• Implement and uphold best practices for software engineering policies and procedures

What We’re Looking For

• A bachelor's degree in computer science/engineering (or equivalent practical experience) and working knowledge of an object-oriented language such as C# or Java, plus SQL Server or a comparable relational database
• A solid grasp of software development methodologies and of requirements gathering, testing, and implementation from both technical and business perspectives; experience with WPF and/or Windows Forms is preferred
• A proactive, self-motivated problem solver who thrives on a team, contributes confidently in planning sessions, and keeps the end-user experience front of mind

Why Join Us

Our flat organizational structure promotes teamwork across the Firm and offers easy access to senior staff. While we work exceptionally well as a team in the office, our bonds are further strengthened through company events, activities and giving back. Volleyball, soccer, hockey, 5K runs, picnic, parties, and trivia nights provide friendly competition and build better relationships. By getting out of our usual environment and doing out-of-the-ordinary things together, we foster creativity and broaden our imaginations to accomplish new challenges.
