Globality Bid | Senior API Developer / Tech Lead (1 opening) | Remote or Smithfield | Due Date 8/13
About The Position
Fidelity Investments is developing an externalized Service Center Inquiry API so firms can access the status of Service Center work items without logging into the Wealthscape portal. The initiative supports Fidelity’s strategy of extending API capabilities to clients and allowing firms to integrate Service Center functionality into their own portals. The project includes defining the API contract, application development, testing, and deployment on AWS. The successful candidate will augment an existing agile squad for a fixed nine-month duration and will help navigate Fidelity’s internal API development processes, including architecture, approvals, and externalization. The role includes guiding and driving the work of other developers on the squad. The team is based in Rhode Island; remote work is acceptable, with onsite attendance for initial onboarding and occasional meetings considered beneficial. The preferred location is Smithfield. The ideal start date is September 23, 2025.
