• Technical Debt & Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify and resolve defects, reduce technical debt, and champion software engineering best practices across the codebase.
• Collaboration & Delivery: Coordinate across the full stack — data, services, APIs, and infrastructure — to deliver end-to-end.
• Design & Code Reviews: Actively contribute to architecture discussions, pull request reviews, and technical documentation with a focus on thoughtful, scalable design.

What You’ll Need:

• 5 years of professional software development experience, with strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem (REST APIs, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, etc.).
• 2 years of experience with Git in a collaborative, team-based development workflow (branching strategies, PRs, code reviews).
• 1 years of experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, or Podman).
• Experience with TypeScript and modern React tooling (Vite, Next.js, etc.).
• Solid experience with JUnit and/or other automated testing frameworks; commitment to high test coverage.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and business conversations.
• Demonstrated critical thinking, problem-solving ability.

• Graduate degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline.

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and CI/CD pipeline tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).
• Experience using JIRA or similar tools for Agile planning, sprint tracking, and delivery management.
• Hands-on React development experience, including component architecture, state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, or React Query), and API integration.
• Prior experience in financial services, capital markets, or fintech environments.
• Proficiency with shell scripting for automation, deployment support, and operational troubleshooting.
