You will carry out critical technology solutions across multiple technical areas in support of the firm's business objectives and global financial transactions.

The role focuses on building high-throughput, low-latency Java microservices and integrations for sanctions screening and Trust & Safety workflows. You will work with Java, J2EE, Spring Boot, SQL/PL/SQL, event-driven messaging, cloud and container technologies, and enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development tools. You will also contribute to architecture and design, data analysis, production support, and continuous improvement of software systems.

The position includes supporting application operational stability through on-call and production support rotations, investigating issues, and driving remediation through root-cause analysis and problem management.

Requirements

• Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts and at least 3 years of applied experience.
• Hands-on production experience with Java and strong working knowledge of Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, and SQL/PL/SQL.
• Understanding of agile methodologies, CI/CD, application resiliency, and security practices including automated testing, static analysis, and vulnerability remediation.
• Practical experience with modern runtime and platform tooling such as Apache Tomcat, Jenkins, Sonar/SAST tooling, Selenium/BlazeMeter, Redis, UNIX, Helm charts, Kubernetes, AWS concepts, and Kafka or equivalent streaming platforms.
• Hands-on experience in system design, application development, testing, and operational stability, including distributed-systems support and troubleshooting.
• Experience developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large-scale environment using one or more modern programming languages and database querying languages.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation, and ability to evaluate, validate, and refine generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity, secure handling of inputs and outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations.
• Overall knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with modern front-end technologies and JavaScript frameworks.
• Exposure to cloud technologies and cloud-native architectures, including containers, Kubernetes, and service-to-service communication patterns.
• Banking or financial services domain knowledge; familiarity with Sanctions Screening and/or PEGA PRPC is a plus.
• Experience working directly with compliance, risk, or sanctions teams.

Responsibilities

• Execute software solutions across design, development, and technical troubleshooting, applying unconventional approaches to complex problems and scalable outcomes.
• Design and implement high-throughput, low-latency Java microservices using Spring Boot, emphasizing performance, resiliency, and maintainability for sanctions screening and Trust & Safety workflows.
• Build and maintain Java-based integrations using Java, J2EE, Spring Boot, and PL/SQL in alignment with enterprise architecture standards and patterns.
• Drive microservices and event-driven messaging designs to support scalability, resiliency, and controlled processing of screening outcomes.
• Create secure, high-quality production code and maintain algorithms that run synchronously with appropriate systems.
• Use enterprise-authorized AI coding assistance for code generation, refactoring, unit tests, and documentation, validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards.
• Produce architecture and design artifacts for complex applications and ensure design constraints are met throughout software development.
• Gather, analyze, and visualize large, diverse data sets to support continuous improvement of software applications and systems.
• Identify hidden problems and data patterns and use insights to improve coding hygiene and system architecture.
• Contribute to software engineering communities of practice and events exploring emerging technologies.
• Support application operational stability, including on-call and production support rotations, and drive issue remediation through root-cause analysis and problem management.

Benefits

• Competitive total rewards package, including base salary and, for eligible roles, commission-based pay and/or discretionary incentive compensation in cash and/or forfeitable equity.
