Summary:

- Work Mode: Hybrid

Responsibilities:

- Act as the primary technical point of contact embedded with company teams to gather requirements, scope solutions, and define technical sequencing.

- Rapidly prototype and deliver production-ready applications using Java or Python that solve real trading, risk, and operational problems.

- Balance tradeoffs between scope, speed, and quality to meet aggressive company timelines without compromising system integrity.

- Own Discovery & Scoping engagements, translating ambiguous business asks into clear technical specifications and delivery plans.

- Demonstrate strong business acumen: understand ROI/AI impact, enterprise workflows, stakeholder management, and establish continuous product feedback loops with company stakeholders.

- Produce clear technical documentation and communicate complex architecture decisions to both engineering and non-technical business audiences.

- Architect and build scalable, resilient full-stack applications using Java (Spring Boot/Spring Framework, Microservices) and/or Python (FastAPI/Flask), tailored to enterprise financial workflows.

- Leverage Python for rapid prototyping, data analytics, pricing/risk calculations, and automation scripts where appropriate.

- Apply strong data modeling and query optimization skills across Oracle Database, MS SQL Server, and MongoDB.

- Ensure solutions are built with enterprise-grade security, auditability, and regulatory compliance across both Java and Python codebases.

- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Tekton (Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines) and Jenkins to enable rapid, reliable, and auditable deployments for both Java and Python services.

- Deploy and manage containerized workloads on OpenShift/Kubernetes, applying infrastructure-as-code best practices.





- Be fluent in at least one major cloud platform and demonstrate the ability to deploy infrastructure as code reliably and repeatably.

- Own production readiness: ensure what is built won't break or behave unexpectedly once live — including monitoring, alerting, rollback strategies, and incident response support.

Requirements:

- Minimum 8 years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrable experience as a Full-Stack Developer transitioning into an FDE-style, customer-facing delivery role.

- Expert-level proficiency in Java (Core Java, Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, REST/gRPC APIs) and/or strong production experience in Python (FastAPI/Flask, data processing libraries).

- Ability to work across both Java and Python codebases, or demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly on the second language.

- Hands-on experience with Tekton/OpenShift Pipelines and Jenkins for CI/CD pipeline design and management.

- Strong database expertise across Oracle Database, MS SQL Server, and MongoDB, including performance tuning and schema design.

- Demonstrated knowledge of DevOps practices: containerization (Docker/OpenShift/Kubernetes), infrastructure as code, and cloud deployment (AWS/Azure/GCP — at least one).

- Excellent communication, technical writing, and stakeholder management skills; comfortable working directly with business stakeholders.

- High agency, ownership mindset, and comfort operating with ambiguity in quick-paced client-facing environments.

Preferred Skills:

- Domain knowledge of Fintech, Capital Markets, or Spread Products — specifically Securitization (ABS, MBS).

- Prior experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Consultant embedded within financial institutions.

- Experience using Python for quantitative analytics, pricing models, or ML-driven risk tooling alongside a Java-based production stack.
