About The Position

Performs cloud-native application design and development in an Agile software delivery environment. Automates the integration of code changes from multiple contributors into a single software project through the use of Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD) practices and open-source platforms. Uses component-based frameworks (Angular and J2EE) to build scalable web applications via HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript. Builds and maintains enterprise cloud-enabled distributed systems. Participates in design reviews and code reviews. Enhances software engineering practices in the areas of Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD). Uses business knowledge to translate the vision for divisional initiatives into business solutions by developing complex or multiple software applications and conducting studies of alternatives. Analyzes and recommends changes in project development policies, procedures, standards, and strategies to development experts and management.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and five (5) years of experience as a Principal Full Stack Engineer (or closely related occupation) developing portfolio construction solutions leveraging Java, Kafka, AWS, and advanced portfolio optimization technologies within a financial services environment.
Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and three (3) years of experience as a Principal Full Stack Engineer (or closely related occupation) developing portfolio construction solutions leveraging Java, Kafka, AWS, and advanced portfolio optimization technologies within a financial services environment.
Demonstrated Expertise (“DE”) developing high-throughput, fault-tolerant, and highly concurrent batch processes, and scalable middle-tier web services for portfolio construction and management; administering message-based middleware, working with stateful applications, analyzing complex financial data across relational databases, and coordinating batch scheduling and vendor-driven portfolio optimizations; and implementing domain specific business rules using Java, Spring Boot, Groovy, Python, JMS, Kafka, JPA, myBatis, Oracle, PL/SQL, Autosys, and Axioma.
DE analyzing requirements and large interconnected data models to build full stack portfolio construction and management applications in accordance with Agile methodologies and Atlassian tools (JIRA); and identifying automation ready requirements using Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Acceptance Test Driven Design (ATDD) techniques with Spock, JUnit, Cypress, PACT, and WireMock.
DE participating in and providing coaching throughout the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) -- migrating and optimizing Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, supporting storage, and performing source code and structures management using Jenkins, MCADS, and AWS hybrid Cloud frameworks (S3, DynamoDB, EKS and Lambda) as well as Git and Maven.
DE monitoring, profiling, and troubleshooting performance issues in portfolio construction and management applications using Datadog, JProfiler, Java VisualVM, and JConsole; developing baseline behavioral profiles for alerting and monitoring; planning operational and performance optimizations using jMagic; and performing performance assessments and enabling dynamic instance scaling using AWS EC2, EKS, and ECS as well as Docker, aligned with DevOps methodologies.
