About The Position

This role supports a global financial services organization operating complex, multi-asset trading and post-trade platforms. The team builds and maintains enterprise systems that support the full lifecycle of financial products across multiple asset classes, with a strong emphasis on scalability, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. Engineers on this team collaborate closely with product owners, quantitative teams, and downstream consumers to ensure accurate event processing, reliable data flows, and resilient system behavior in a fast-moving financial environment.

This engagement offers the opportunity to work on mission-critical capital markets platforms that support middle and back office functions across multiple asset classes. You'll contribute to systems that process high-volume events, manage complex product lifecycles, and power downstream risk, finance, and reporting functions. The role provides exposure to enterprise-scale architecture, event-driven systems, and deep financial domain challenges within a collaborative, engineering-focused environment.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience developing enterprise applications in financial services environments
• Proven experience supporting multi-asset class platforms (e.g., equities, fixed income, FX, derivatives, structured products)
• Strong background in middle and/or back office systems, including post-trade processing, lifecycle management, or regulatory reporting
• Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures (e.g., messaging, streaming, asynchronous workflows)
• Solid data modeling experience, including defining schemas that represent product lifecycles and business events
• Proficiency in at least one enterprise programming language such as Java, C#, or Python
• Experience working in regulated environments with strict controls around data security, privacy, and auditability
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technology and business teams

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain application components supporting middle and back office functions across multiple asset classes
• Develop and enhance event-driven architectures that process trade, position, and lifecycle events reliably and at scale
• Model financial products and their full lifecycles, ensuring data structures accurately represent state transitions and business events
• Build and maintain services that consume and publish events to downstream systems (risk, P&L, reconciliation, reporting)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure data consistency, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues in distributed enterprise systems using logs, metrics, and event tracing
• Contribute to system documentation, data models, and architectural standards
