• Modernize mature enterprise applications through incremental refactoring, component decomposition, and integration with newer services and strategic platforms.
• Build and improve event-driven, concurrent, and multithreaded solutions with a strong focus on throughput, latency, resiliency, and thread safety.
• Work with architects and quantitative teams to implement pricing and analytical capabilities, including complex calculation flows and dependent processing.
• Analyze application behavior, production logs, and performance metrics to diagnose scalability issues, defects, and operational bottlenecks.
• Design reusable services, interfaces, and frameworks that improve consistency, maintainability, and extensibility across the technology estate.
• Partner with traders, quantitative developers, product owners, and technology stakeholders to translate complex business requirements into pragmatic engineering solutions.

• Strong understanding of object-oriented design, software architecture, enterprise design patterns, and maintainable code practices.
• Experience improving performance and scalability in complex applications, including tracing execution paths and identifying bottlenecks.
• Experience modernizing legacy systems and safely integrating new capabilities without disrupting existing users or production processes.
• Familiarity with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, source control, build tooling, and modern DevOps delivery practices.
• Comfort working in Linux-based environments and supporting production applications through structured troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical designs, alternatives, and trade-offs to varied stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related analytical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting Fixed Income, Rates, or other front-office electronic trading platforms.
• Exposure to real-time pricing engines, quantitative analytics libraries, risk calculations, or calculation-orchestration frameworks.
• Knowledge of Spring, SQL databases, messaging technologies, service-oriented architecture, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Familiarity with common engineering tools such as Jenkins, Git/Bitbucket, Artifactory, Ansible, Unix scripting, and application monitoring platforms.
• Experience working directly with traders, quantitative analysts, or front-office technology teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Understanding of fixed-income products and pricing concepts, such as bonds, swaps, futures, yields, sensitivities, or related analytics.
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools to support debugging, code analysis, documentation, and engineering productivity.
• Advanced degree in Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field is a plus.
