About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on Java Software Engineer to join a high-impact Capital Markets technology team responsible for building and maintaining the core systems that power enterprise-wide applications.
This team acts as the “nervous system” of the organization, supporting critical infrastructure such as data stores, databases, and backend services. This is a fully hands‑on coding role focused on building scalable, high‑performance systems—not a leadership or management position.

- Experience building scalable backend systems and APIs
- Solid understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and engineering best practices
- Experience with data structures, algorithms, and system design
- Ability to write clean, secure, and high‑performance code
- Experience troubleshooting production issues and performing root cause analysis
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
Nice‑to‑Have Qualifications
- AWS or cloud platform experience
- Experience in Capital Markets or Financial Services environments
- Exposure to DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience working with large‑scale distributed systems or data platforms
