Job description

  • Lead the analysis, design, development, and implementation of high-quality applications and databases, integrating third-party solutions and ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability expectations are met.
  • Ensure the viability and integrity of technology solutions by evaluating design and build/buy options, conducting comprehensive testing (functional, technical, and security), and recommending optimal development approaches.
  • Manage the promotion of code through development, test, and production environments, providing production support, submitting change controls, and maintaining accurate technical documentation.
  • Serve as a technical subject matter expert by applying software development methodologies and architecture standards, mentoring less-experienced team members, resolving complex issues, and driving enterprise-wide improvements.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners and stakeholders throughout the SDLC, participating in design, code, and test reviews, performing systems analysis, and clearly communicating technical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Develop a deep understanding of business processes and technology needs while adhering to IT and Information Security policies, staying current with industry trends and tools, and contributing to special projects as needed.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of relevant experience delivering complex, enterprise-scale technology solutions in a collaborative, Agile environment.
  • Strong expertise in modern Front End technologies, including Vue.js and React, with a proven ability to deliver intuitive, high-quality UI/UX experiences.
  • Proven Back End development experience with Java and TypeScript, with additional experience in Python and/or Node.js, including the design and implementation of distributed, microservices-based architectures and APIs.
  • Solid understanding of system design principles, scalable architecture patterns, and data persistence using both relational and NoSQL databases (eg, PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB).
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and a strong understanding of investment products and trading workflows.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience required; advanced degree preferred.
