You will lead the design and implementation of mission-critical, event-driven microservices and high-throughput computing pipelines for Credit Risk and Market Risk platforms. This role involves turning quantitative models into real-time cloud microservices using Java 17/21+, Spring Boot, and reactive frameworks. You will utilize Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and OpenShift alongside messaging platforms like Apache Kafka or Pulsar. Key responsibilities include championing AI-augmented engineering with tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Devin. You will solve complex problems in multi-threading, concurrency, and memory management to support risk analytics like VaR and stress testing.

What you'll do

  • Architect and deploy resilient, event-driven microservices and high-throughput computing pipelines on cloud infrastructure.
  • Model and stream real-time analytics for Credit Risk and Market Risk platforms.
  • Integrate AI engineering tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude into the software development lifecycle.
  • Resolve architectural bottlenecks related to multi-threading, concurrency models, and memory management.
  • Establish standards for clean code, SOLID principles, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Provide technical mentorship and conduct design reviews for mid-level engineers and analysts.
  • Assess and manage technical risks to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and internal policies.

What we're looking for

  • 6–10 years of progressive experience in software engineering, distributed systems development, or applications architecture.
  • Deep expertise in Java (17/21+), J2EE, Spring Boot, reactive frameworks, multi-threading, and low-latency processing.
  • Strong working knowledge of Credit Risk and/or Market Risk concepts such as VaR, Stress Testing, and Exposure Calculations.
  • Hands-on experience architecting microservices on cloud platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and OpenShift.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in integrating AI coding assistants and agentic engineering tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Devin.
  • Experience with distributed messaging backbones such as Apache Kafka, Pulsar, or RabbitMQ.
  • Experience designing RESTful APIs, gRPC services, and working with relational databases and distributed caches.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Financial Engineering, or equivalent practical experience (Master's degree preferred).
