Specialty Software Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Java Developer to support the build-out of a next-generation trading platform capable of processing millions of real-time financial transactions with high accuracy, resiliency, and low latency. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed-system challenges and are comfortable incorporating AI-enabled development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity.

You will work on a core engineering team focused on the ingestion, transformation, and processing of large-scale trade data. Candidates with additional experience in automation testing are strongly encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and optimize Java-based services for high-throughput trade processing systems.
• Work with data pipelines handling millions of inbound transactions while meeting strict performance and latency targets.
• Use GitHub Copilot and other AI-assisted development tools to accelerate development workflows.
• Partner with architects, product owners, and engineering teams to create scalable, resilient system components.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-structured Java code using modern frameworks and practices.
• Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• (Optional/Plus) Collaborate with automation engineers to ensure robust functional, integration, and performance test coverage.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline integration and automated testing practices.

5+ years of Java development or Specialty Software Engineering experience.

• Proven ability to design and implement distributed or real-time data processing systems.
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and backend architecture patterns.
• Experience with API development, data transformation, and large-scale processing workflows.
• Comfort working with AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot experience preferred, not required).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automation testing or QA engineering tools, such as:

• Java-based automation frameworks
• Selenium, Cucumber, TestNG
• Python-based automation tools

• Experience in financial services, trading platforms, or other high-volume / low-latency environments.
• Exposure to CI/CD tools and automated test integration.
• Knowledge of trade lifecycles or financial data processing.

Bonus Profile (Hybrid Development + Testing)

Candidates with 5-8+ years of test automation experience may also bring value in areas such as:

• Building automated test suites for API, database, and functional testing.
• Designing automation solutions for high-throughput environments.
• Ensuring performance, integration, and stability testing for trading systems.
• Using tools like Jenkins, JIRA, SQL, Selenium, Cucumber, Cypress, or Playwright.
