- Build Critical System Integrations: Design and implement robust, high-performance APIs to connect our new platforms with a diverse landscape of firm-wide control systems, ensuring data accuracy and integrity across the enterprise.
- Shape the Full-Stack Experience: Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to build seamless user experiences, shaping the APIs that power our modern Micro-Frontend (MFE) applications built with React and Angular.
- Drive End-to-End Feature Ownership: Take full ownership of the development lifecycle for key features, from architectural design and technical specifications through to implementation and deployment in a high-impact, agile environment.
- Mentor and Elevate the Team: Advise and mentor team members on best practices in software design, containerization, and modern development workflows, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years of hands-on experience in software development, with a proven track record in building and designing robust backend systems.
- Experience with Java / Spring Boot framework. Preferred if candidate has exposure in React or Angular.
- Strong experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift) and building cloud-native applications.
- Demonstrated experience leading technical projects or acting as a tech lead for a development team.
- A keen interest in or experience with leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and code quality.
- Deep understanding of software architecture, microservice design patterns, and RESTful API development best practices.
- Experience working in Financial Services or another large, complex global environment is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular) is a significant plus.
- Consistently demonstrates clear and concise written and verbal communication.
