Java Developer

We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Associate Director, Software Engineering.

Responsibilities :
- Build and run core services for Rates trade booking and trade storage, with a design that can extend across broader FICC products.

Own end-to-end delivery for your services : technical design, hands-on development (60-70%), CI/CD, production readiness, and operational support (you build it, you run it).


- Engineer for high availability, strong data consistency, and high throughput, including resilience patterns, capacity planning, and performance tuning.

Design and implement service interfaces using gRPC/Protobuf and streaming patterns (e.g., HTTP SSE) to integrate with upstream/downstream platforms.


- Ensure robust auditability and controls : versioning of trade changes, traceability, access controls, data retention, and secure-by-design engineering.


- Drive a step-change in engineering culture : raise standards through design/code reviews, automation, observability, and incident learning, mentoring engineers through practical examples.


- Partner with Product Owners/BAs and stakeholders to shape requirements into clear user stories and deliver iteratively with predictable outcomes.


- Build and maintain lightweight UIs where needed to support trade enquiry, operational workflows, and exception handling.


- Strong experience as a senior Java backend engineer (microservices), with proven ownership of production systems.


- Solid understanding of distributed systems : concurrency, idempotency, failure handling, consistency models, and resiliency patterns.

Hands-on experience designing APIs and integrations using gRPC and Protobuf; familiarity with streaming/real-time update patterns (e.g., SSE).


- Strong PostgreSQL skills (data modelling, indexing, performance tuning) and experience building consistent, auditable transactional stores.
