Requirements

Must:
We are looking for a strong core Java developer with expertise in streams, lambdas, and concurrency APIs. You should have a deep understanding of distributed systems and multithreaded architectures. Proficiency in Test-Driven Development (TDD), agile delivery, and CI/CD for complex enterprise systems is essential. Experience with performance tuning and monitoring tools, such as JVisualVM, Prometheus, and the Elastic Stack is also required. We value a solid foundation in Computer Science, including algorithms, data structures, and concurrency. A proven track record of delivering applications from design to production is crucial.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will develop and maintain front-to-back pricing and risk solutions using Java 21. You will collaborate closely with Front Office, Quants, Risk, and DevOps teams, prioritizing non-functional requirements such as performance, reliability, and maintainability. Additionally, you will improve development tooling, deployment pipelines, and overall engineering processes, while providing level 3 support and contributing to operational excellence.

Description


This opportunity is with a leading global financial institution that has a strong presence in capital markets. We offer a stable, collaborative environment with a focus on trading, risk management, and derivatives. You will be part of our Front Office Technology team, developing and supporting trading, risk, and analytics platforms in a fast-paced environment. If you have a background in investment banking, particularly in Risk or Pricing domains, or experience with cloud-native development tools like EKS, Docker, GRPC, Redis, and Prometheus, that's a plus. Familiarity with Kafka, event-driven systems, and stateful workflow orchestration, as well as understanding financial instruments and risk sensitivities, would be advantageous. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on high-impact systems within a top-tier financial organization that combines global reach with innovative technology. We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible recruitment process, supporting candidates of all backgrounds and abilities. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the application process, please let us know, and we will be happy to assist you.
