Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are seeking a Senior Java Developer to help evolve and extend the backend and middleware systems of our trading and market data infrastructure. This role is for an experienced engineer who is comfortable operating across complex high-performance systems in fast paced financial environments.
You will work on real trading systems: market data ingestion, exchange connectivity, clearing and regulatory workflows, pre and post trade processing, and internal services that must be correct, fast, and resilient.
You’ll be expected to think like an architect, write production-grade code, and collaborate across engineering and business teams to deliver robust solutions.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement backend services for trading, market data, and post-trade workflows
- Develop and maintain low-latency, high-reliability Java applications
- Build and consume REST APIs and internal service interfaces
- Integrate with exchanges, clearinghouses, and regulatory bodies
- Process real-time and historical market data feeds
- Work with Microsoft SQL Server on schema design, performance tuning, and data integrity
- Contribute to system architecture, technical standards, and best practices
- Assist with other engineering initiatives as needed (learning new languages, frameworks, or systems when required)
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and production support when necessary
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of professional software development experience
- Strong expertise in Java (core Java, concurrency, performance tuning)
- Experience building trading systems, market data platforms, or financial infrastructure
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, messaging, and service-oriented architectures
- Experience with REST server development
- Comfort working in regulated environments (financial, trading, compliance-driven systems)
Preferred / Nice to Have
- Experience with exchange protocols, FIX, or proprietary market data feeds
- Knowledge of clearing and settlement workflows
- Exposure to regulatory reporting or compliance systems
- Experience with Linux-based server environments
- Familiarity with cloud or hybrid infrastructure (not required, but helpful)
