A Senior/Lead Java Developer is sought after by a global Financial Service business to join an engineering team responsible for a quantitative risk platform that provides pricing and margin calculation services to clients.
The day-to-day will involve upgrading and enhancing their Java-based with a strong focus on test-driven environment ensuring high quality code is being produced and tested thoroughly on a regular basis to provide clients with the best possible service.
There will be an element of quantitative work focussed on the Greeks and mathematical calculations in line with their risk and margin calculation methodology (however a background or prior experience of this is not necessary).
Upcoming project work includes initiatives for better storage of their risk metrics, an AWS cloud migration and moving towards a more service-orientated architecture, adopting a microservices driven approach to software engineering.
To be successful, you will demonstrate the following:
- Strong hands-on development experience with Java, using Spring boot and microservices architecture
- A modern approach to development, focussed on Agile Scrum, TDD/BDD and DevOps principles (CI/CD)
- An appreciation of large scale, regulated environments and secure coding/computing methods
- Any exposure to Kotlin or C++ is beneficial
- Cloud experience with AWS is beneficial
- Whilst prior Financial Service experience is not necessary, it is preferable, specifically within the pricing or risk domain, particularly relating to Credit Default Swaps
This is an excellent opportunity for a talented Java Developer to get involved in some exciting project work, and further their career within a global Financial Services organisation.
