  • Collaborate closely with trading, quantitative research, and operations teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Enhance the firm's market data platform by improving performance, automation, monitoring, and resiliency.
  • Contribute to software architecture, DevOps practices, deployment automation, and production support.
  • Help evolve the firm's data platform to support new data sources and increasing market data volumes.

Required Qualifications:

• 5-8 years of professional software engineering experience, preferably within financial services or another data-intensive environment.
• Strong proficiency in Core Java with deep object-oriented programming expertise.
• Experience designing scalable, maintainable, and production-grade software architectures.
• Hands-on experience working with large-scale datasets, including data ingestion, storage, retrieval, and processing.
• Strong understanding of database technologies and data modeling concepts.
• Experience with DevOps practices, including deployment automation, monitoring, and production support.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Preferred Qualifications:

• • Market data platforms or trading systems
  • Bloomberg BPIPE, Data License, Terminal APIs, or other Bloomberg products
  • Apache Kafka or other messaging and streaming technologies
  • Time-series databases and real-time data processing systems
  • Financial data architecture and large-scale data distribution platforms
  • JavaScript and Angular for user interface development
  • Containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • Understanding of capital markets, trading workflows, and financial instruments
