Software Engineering & Development, Off
About The Position
The MDI team is seeking a Software Developer to join and contribute across the MDI platform, Alpha Data Platform (ADP) microservices, and quality automation. This role is suited for an engineer who is comfortable working across a large enterprise Java codebase and modern cloud-native services, while also taking strong ownership of automated quality, reliability, and production support. The successful candidate will help design, build, test, troubleshoot, and evolve real-time and batch processing solutions that support market data, reference data, and downstream integration workflows in a regulated financial technology environment. This engineer will work as a member of an Agile Scrum team, partnering closely with product owners, QA, support, platform teams, and peer development teams. The role requires equal strength in software design, hands-on implementation, defect investigation, and test automation. It is not a pure feature-development role; it also includes operational ownership, cross-team collaboration, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
- Strong professional software engineering experience in Java development
- Proven experience building and maintaining enterprise backend systems or microservices
- Strong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, concurrency, and distributed systems
- Hands-on experience with Spring Boot and service-based application development
- Strong SQL and database experience, including troubleshooting data and query-related issues
- Experience building automated tests at multiple layers, including unit and integration testing
- Experience debugging complex issues across code, configuration, data, and environment boundaries
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Demonstrated success working in Agile/Scrum teams
- Ability to collaborate effectively across development, QA, support, and platform teams
Nice To Haves
- Experience with financial systems, capital markets, market data, or reference data platforms
- Experience with Azure messaging or other cloud-based event platforms
- Experience with contract-based integration, or message-driven architecture
- Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment models
- Experience with production support, observability, and incident investigation
- Experience modernizing legacy platforms while also building new microservices
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical work within a sprint-based team
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, enhance, and maintain RTAPI components and related backend services used for real-time and batch data processing.
- Build and support ADP microservices using event-driven and service-oriented patterns.
- Implement user stories and defect fixes that meet acceptance criteria and Definition of Done without introducing unnecessary technical debt.
- Troubleshoot complex functional and production issues across distributed services, legacy modules, and integration layers.
- Perform root cause analysis for defects impacting internal users, support teams, and downstream systems.
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested Java code with strong attention to reliability, performance, and supportability.
- Create and maintain automated unit, integration, functional, and regression tests.
- Improve QA automation coverage for APIs, event-driven flows, database-backed logic, and vendor/provider integrations.
- Validate business logic involving data transformations, reference data workflows, and vendor feed processing.
- Participate in backlog grooming, estimation, sprint planning, retrospectives, and technical design discussions.
- Review code, test plans, automation coverage, and design changes from peers.
- Contribute to build, deployment, and release readiness across shared environments.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers early, and work across teams to resolve them.
- Mentor junior engineers and help raise engineering standards across the team.
- Contribute to documentation, test strategy, support runbooks, and long-term platform improvements.
- Delivery of new RTAPI and microservice capabilities from design through automated validation
- Stability and supportability of critical data-processing workflows
- High-quality automation for unit, integration, and regression coverage
- Investigation and resolution of complex issues affecting production or client-facing workflows
- Technical leadership within the Scrum team, including code quality, design quality, and execution discipline
