Job Title: Senior Full Stack Engineer/Equity Derivatives
Location: New York, NY (Hybrid, 3 days a week at the office)
Duration: 6+ Months
Implementation Partner: Blue.cloud
End Client: To be disclosed
About The Role
We’re looking for talented developers with a passion for designing, building, deploying, and supporting large-scale systems in a rapidly-moving environment.
Equity Derivatives Technology is undergoing a large transformation project to entirely refresh our platforms for large-scale compute, global data services, pricing, and risk and PnL production. We need experienced developers to help build out these services as we grow the new platform to fulfill our regulatory commitments and power business growth, especially in the structured products space.
The candidate will work on primarily new services, using modern Java on the server side, across our internal cloud and external clouds. Although the role is development-focused, teams are expected to fully support their own applications, including deployment, release management, and user support, all the way to production. As such, this role includes providing a follow-the-sun support model globally for the new Risk services stack in conjunction with the other regional teams in Equities technology.
Role
This role is focused on building out an event-based infrastructure to rework many of our core flows, moving us towards a real-time-by-default environment. You will build, on top of popular open-source data processing frameworks (including but not limited to Apache Kafka), use-cases such as:
- Staging and aggregating billions of regulatory risk result objects each day to send to our Front-to-Back data stores.
- Implementing processing, storage, and service functions for different classes of risk data, pricing inputs, and reference data to provide a universal real-time intraday capability for application clients.
- Promoting, where appropriate, the benefits of event-sourcing architectures and an event-first approach to design.
Your Skills And Experience
You’re an experienced server-side developer with a technical background. You should be able to demonstrate problem-solving ability and be comfortable working in an agile environment with rapid release cycles. The focus will be on developing greenfield services to level up our platform. Roles are full-service, with developers expected to build, test, deploy, and support their products within a global team.
You will ideally have experience with application architectures that take advantage of cloud deployment, offering additional flexibility to reduce downtime and maintenance overhead, respond to changing demand, and optimize cost.
Essential Skills
- Must be able to lead a team of developers and manage a book of work in conjunction with IT management and business customers.
- Extensive experience with server-side development on top of the Java Virtual Machine.
- Modern Java expertise (version 8 and up, we use 17 for new projects).
- Experience working in agile (SCRUM-related) cycles and coordination with multiple teams of developers and users.
- Knowledge of Continuous Integration products such as TeamCity and Jenkins.
- Solid knowledge of Git version control, and workflows around it.
- Knowledge of distributed systems.
Highly Advantageous
- Experience working with Equity Derivatives products and systems.
- Knowledge of public cloud infrastructure such as GCP (preferred), AWS, Azure.
- Experience working in financial institutions and regulated IT environments.
- Python development/scripting.
