Job description

Sinara is currently looking for talented graduates to join our software engineering team in the summer of 2025. Whether you are set to graduate in 2025 or have a couple of years of programming experience under your belt, we would love to hear from you.

Your first project may involve working on applications such as trading systems, options pricing algorithms, or market surveillance tools.

Working with Sinara, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills whilst working on an active project and make a meaningful impact. You will get the chance to work in teams committed to using the best programming techniques and share information and your own ideas with colleagues and even clients of both a technical and non-technical background.

Why Join Sinara?

We are a leading software development company that provides cutting-edge solutions for major businesses in the world of Finance. If you are excited by the idea of using C# and TypeScript to build great software and willing to learn, then this role is perfect for you.

Career progression

Sinara is committed to your growth and development. From day one, you will be paired with an experienced mentor to guide you along your career path. As your career progresses, we will work with you to shape the scope of your role, whether that means focusing on programming, or shifting towards other parts of the engineering process such as business analysis, project management, or a balance somewhere in between.

We encourage everyone within Sinara to take responsibility in a variety of areas including client relationship management, product & library development, technical quality, recruitment and mentoring. We also allow staff to engage in research projects into new and emerging technologies as well as undertake training that will enhance their skills.

Company culture

At Sinara your colleagues will be as talented and committed as you are yourself. Sinara is a small company, where you can expect to know who everyone in the company is, and we encourage effective teamwork and inter-team collaboration.

We value every member of the company, and we are keen to show that with regular technical seminars, social lunches, and other personal and professional support.

• You are passionate about code, have a desire to learn new technical skills and enjoy solving all kinds of problems.
