Job Description

Are you a passionate, entrepreneurially minded developer who wants to build the systems that orchestrate global energy flows? Do you thrive in a flat hierarchy, team-oriented environment that values ideas and individual contributions? Then we are looking for you to join us at Vitol!

We have developed our own Commodity Trading Risk Management (CTRM) system that covers all aspects of our business activities across the globe: from trade entry through the middle-office with P&L reporting, market risk management, credit, and accounting down to the invoicing and for whichever commodity we are trading – electricity, gas, coal, crude oil, LPG, or carbon emissions certificates. Vitol is unique in the energy trading world in making our CTRM the core of our business processes that everyone at Vitol works with, often on a daily basis.

As a member of the small team that develops and maintains our globally used Accounting application, located in Geneva, Switzerland, you will:
• Actively contribute to the development of our core Accounting application that is closely integrated with other parts of our CTRM system and used globally across hundreds of entities within the Vitol Group

• Develop/maintain new features using C# and .NET technologies as well as PL/SQL
• Provide business applications support and training to users on day to day issues
• We are working closely with the rest of the CTRM team to cover all the functions of our in-house system, so occasionally you will also be responsible for driving projects, which may be as diverse as:
- Integration of newly acquired businesses
- Interface our Accounting software with external tools, e.g. Treasury Management System
