We are seeking an Associate Java Developer to join our trading technology team and support the development of scalable, resilient microservices that underpin our execution and order management platforms.
This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who has strong Java fundamentals and is eager to deepen their experience in financial systems, distributed architectures, and performance-sensitive applications.
You'll work closely with senior engineers, quants, and product partners to enhance existing services, build new functionality, and ensure the platform meets availability, performance, and risk requirements.
Core Responsibilities

 * Application Development: Develop and enhance Java-based microservices using Spring Boot within a distributed trading environment.
 * Feature Delivery: Collaborate with Product Managers and Quant teams to implement execution logic and platform enhancements under the guidance of senior developers.
 * Performance & Reliability: Participate in performance tuning, troubleshooting, and improving application stability, with mentorship on latency-aware development practices.
 * Risk & Controls: Assist in implementing pre-trade checks, validation logic, and operational safeguards to support "safe trading" requirements.
 * Code Quality: Contribute to clean, well-tested code through unit testing, code reviews, and CI/CD best practices.

Domain Exposure

 * Trading Workflow: Familiarity with or interest in the trade lifecycle (e.g., order capture, execution, downstream processing).
 * Market Concepts: Basic understanding of execution workflows, market data, or order routing is a plus, but not mandatory.
 * Regulatory Awareness: Exposure to financial systems with audit, compliance, or controls is beneficial.
