This position is open exclusively to current SimCorp employees and professionals with hands-on SimCorp Dimension/SimCorp tooling expertise. We value the unique insights and experience that our internal and ex-SimCorp community brings to the table.
Why this role is important to us

This is a global position, and the location of employment can be at several SimCorp offices around the world. Willingness to travel internationally will be required based on where SimCorp’s customers are located globally, although most of the engagements are virtual now.
