Integration & Event Streaming: Build and support RESTful web services and message-driven architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka, IBM MQ, JMS) for seamless data exchange between internal platforms and external regulatory hubs.
Environment & Automation: Write Shell/Python scripts in Linux environments to automate batch processing, system deployments, monitoring, and routine data transfers.
CI/CD & Delivery: Maintain rigorous software quality standards through automated testing (JUnit/Mockito) and modern CI/CD pipelines (Git, Jenkins, Bitbucket).
Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with Operations, Risk, and Compliance partners to translate complex business and regulatory reporting requirements into technical system specifications.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).
5–8+ years of hands-on software development experience with Java (Core Java, Spring / Spring Boot), ideally within a financial services or enterprise operations environment.
Strong experience with enterprise relational databases (Sybase, PostgreSQL, DB2, or Oracle), with demonstrated skill in query optimization and performance tuning.
Solid grasp of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), microservices architecture, concurrent programming, and system design principles.
Practical experience navigating Unix/Linux environments and writing shell/Python automation scripts.
Clear technical communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical operational and compliance stakeholders.

Preferred / Bonus Qualifications:

Messaging Systems: Experience with message brokers such as Apache Kafka, IBM MQ, or JMS.
DevOps & Containers: Hands-on exposure to containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms.
Front-End Exposure: Basic familiarity with Angular, React, or JavaScript for internal operational dashboards.
Domain Knowledge: Prior exposure to trade processing, trade lifecycle workflows, or financial regulatory reporting frameworks
