ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a hands-on Java Software Engineer to join a high-impact Capital Markets technology team responsible for building and maintaining the core systems that power enterprise-wide applications.

This team acts as the “nervous system” of the organization, supporting critical infrastructure such as data stores, databases, and backend services. This is a fully hands-on coding role focused on building scalable, high-performance systems—not a leadership or management position.

• Strong hands-on Java development experience
• Experience building scalable backend systems and APIs
• Solid understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and engineering best practices
• Experience with data structures, algorithms, and system design
• Ability to write clean, secure, and high-performance code
• Experience troubleshooting production issues and performing root cause analysis
• Strong collaboration and communication skills

NICE-TO-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS

• AWS or cloud platform experience
• Experience in Capital Markets or Financial Services environments
• Exposure to DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working with large-scale distributed systems or data platforms
