Senior Java Developer

Citi • Mississauga, ON

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Are you a technologist who still loves to code, but also has the rare gift of inspiring engineers and transforming how entire organizations build software? At Citi, we're looking for an individual contributor who sits at the intersection of technology and cultural change. This is a role for someone who can walk into a room of engineers, earn their respect by talking code, and then turn around and articulate a compelling vision for why engineering excellence matters — and how to get there. As part of Citi's Engineering Excellence organization, you will be a catalyst for change across one of the world's largest and most complex financial institutions. You'll work across engineering teams globally to embed best practices, elevate engineering culture, and drive measurable improvements in how we design, build, and ship software. If you believe deeply in the power of great engineering culture, and want your work to have impact at a truly global scale — this role was made for you.

Requirements

• 6+ years of hands-on development experience in Java and/or Python
• Experience using Gen AI LLM tools like Copilot, Claude, Gemini, Windsurf, Cursor
• Experience driving technical and cultural change within a team
• Understanding of DORA metrics
• End-to-end SDLC experience, ideally across multiple companies
• Demonstrated ability to work on multiple concurrent initiatives
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills — you are as comfortable pairing with an engineer on a tricky bug as you are presenting a technology roadmap

Responsibilities

• Drive a culture of engineering excellence across Citi's global technology organization
• Evangelize DORA metrics with a particular focus on reducing cycle time as a lever for organizational agility.
• Drive results for several high-priority engineering excellence programs simultaneously
• Champion opportunities to leverage strategic tooling including AI — to accelerate software delivery across the organization.
• Experience building Spring Boot applications
• Experience with building CI/CD Pipelines using Jenkins, TeamCity, or Tekton
• Real life experience with continuous delivery principles and related tools
• Communicate complex technical concepts and engineering metrics using compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences
