Sr. Software Development Engineer

Overview

Design and build scalable, cloud-native platforms for OTC and listed derivatives using Java and Python. Work across trade capture, valuation, lifecycle events, risk, and post-trade processing for IRD, CRD, FXD, and related asset classes.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance services for derivative trade lifecycle management, valuation, pricing, risk, collateral, and reporting.
• Own the technical design of new modules and features, including architecture, data models, APIs, and integration patterns.
• Build cloud-native microservices and data pipelines using containers and managed services.
• Model and process derivative products including swaps, swaptions, caps/floors, CDS, FX forwards/options/NDFs and lifecycle events including resets, fixings, amendments, novations, terminations, and compressions.
• Write clean, testable, well-documented code and take part in code and design reviews.
• Improve the performance, resilience, and observability of production systems and help resolve complex production issues.
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise engineering standards.
• Work closely with product, quants, and operations to turn complex financial workflows into reliable, well-designed software.

What you'll need

• 6–12 years of software development experience, with at least 2 years in derivative asset classes (IRD, CRD, FXD, or equivalent).
• Strong hands-on skills in Java (8/11/17+) and/or Python 3.x.
• Hands-on cloud development experience on AWS including containers (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Excellent design skills in OOP, SOLID, design patterns, domain-driven design, microservices, event-driven architecture, and REST/gRPC API design.
• Working knowledge of derivative concepts including pricing and valuation basics, curves, trade lifecycle, and clearing/margining.
• Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, etc.) and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
• Strong unit, integration, and automated testing practices.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, and the ability to work with business stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of both Java and Python.
• Experience with frameworks such as Spring Boot and FastAPI.
• Experience with distributed computing and low-latency design.
• Exposure to observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog) and Agile/DevOps practices.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Finance, or a related field.
• Certifications such as CFA, FRM.
