In this role as a developer, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of APIs, support integration projects, and collaborate with cross-functional associates to deliver innovative solutions for our clients in the financial industry. Ideal candidates possess a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, have a foundational understanding of modern API development, and are familiar with programming languages such as Java, Python, or JavaScript.

Curiosity, strong problem-solving and communication skills, and a willingness to learn cloud-native practices on Microsoft Azure are essential. This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career in open banking while working on secure, scalable solutions in a regulated environment.

• Assist in designing, coding, and testing RESTful APIs and microservices, including documenting APIs using OpenAPI/Swagger.
• Support API onboarding and lifecycle management.
• Help deploy and run services on Azure and learn containerization basics with Docker and Artifactory; exposure to AKS is a plus but not required for Jr level.
• Contribute to observability by instrumenting Dynatrace, setting up dashboards and alerts.
• Follow secure coding practices and assist with identity and access using Microsoft Entra  (Azure AD), OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, Managed Identities, and role-based access control (RBAC).
• Collaborate with product managers, senior developers, QA testers, and platform engineers; participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute ideas and solutions.
• Assist in creating and maintaining clear API documentation, runbooks, and technical specifications.
• Conduct initial unit and integration testing; partner with QA to develop and execute test cases for API functionality and non-functional requirements (security, performance).
• Participate in a rotating on-call schedule for production APIs and integrations; monitor, triage, expedite, and communicate incidents to ensure fast, safe recovery for client-impacting issues.
• Help with operational tasks (triage, incident notes, post-incident reviews) and learn cost awareness practices (tagging, budgets) on Azure.
• Stay informed about trends in API, open banking, and cloud-native development, and seek opportunities to improve reliability, security, and performance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Foundational understanding of REST APIs, JSON, and OpenAPI/Swagger; familiarity with SOAP/XML is a plus.
• Familiarity with at least one programming language:
  Java (Spring Boot), Python (FastAPI/Flask), or JavaScript/Type Script (Node.js/Express).
• Basic exposure to SQL and relational database concepts; familiarity with Azure SQL Database is a plus.
• Version control experience with Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews).
• Exposure to CI/CD concepts.
• Basic understanding of cloud concepts (resource groups, regions, subscriptions, RBAC, tagging) and willingness to learn Microsoft Azure services relevant to API development.
• Awareness of common identity and security practices (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT), secure secrets management (Azure Key Vault), and least-privilege principles.
• Interest in financial technologies, with an understanding that work must align to data privacy, security, and regulatory expectations in banking.
• Ability to approach challenges logically and develop practical solutions; strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Keen attention to detail in coding, testing, and documentation; willingness to learn from experienced colleagues and be open to feedback.

• Exposure to containerization (Docker) and basic Kubernetes concepts (AKS).
• Familiarity with messaging/event services and asynchronous integration patterns.
• Experience with unit testing (JUnit, pytest, Jest) and API testing tools (Postman).
• Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Windsurf, Git Hub Copilot, Azure Dev Ops Copilot, Tabnine) and an understanding of responsible use in regulated environments, including not sharing…
