This is a long-term contract position designed for a developer who thrives in high-pressure, front-office environments. You will play a lead role in designing, developing, and implementing mission-critical applications that support our trading teams and operations groups. The focus of this role is to re-engineer and modernize our existing platform, driving a strategic migration toward a scalable, microservice-oriented, cloud-based architecture.

- Build and maintain Trading Channels and Messaging Channels that interface with global venues and exchanges using industry-standard protocols.
- Lead the technical oversight of major Fixed Income E-Commerce projects, ensuring alignment with business goals.
- Implement and manage messaging frameworks using MQ and Kafka to facilitate real-time data flow.
- Utilize modern AI-assisted development tools such as GitLab Duo, Windsurf, and GitHub CoPilot to accelerate delivery and maintain code quality.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with trading desks, stakeholders, and other technology departments in a platform operating model.
- Develop comprehensive unit and integration test cases to be integrated into a robust CI/CD pipeline.
- Provide second-level production support and troubleshoot complex system issues under tight deadlines.
- Analyze and support vendor software integrations within the Equities and Fixed Income domains.

Proficiency in Java, SQL, and Git is essential. You must have a deep understanding of trading protocols such as FIX and FpML, as well as data standards like XML and JSON. Experience with Spring, Spring Boot, and Spring Integration is required to support our microservices strategy. Familiarity with cloud containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and both Windows and Linux environments is expected.
Project Impact and Environment
This role offers the opportunity to work at the heart of financial technology innovation. You will be instrumental in modernizing a platform that handles massive volumes of financial transactions daily. The environment is fast-paced and requires a developer who can work independently while also providing technical leadership to junior team members.
