Position

Description:

Develops cloud‑native financial services platforms using modern technologies. Designs and implements multi‑tier, multi‑threaded software applications and translates divisional initiatives into effective business solutions. Develop software applications and troubleshoot using Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, Python, Apache Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes on Amazon Web Service (AWS) following Test Driven Deployment (TDD) technologies. Enhances enterprise Cloud infrastructure with AWS EKS and solutions – Lambda, SQS, S3, Cloud Watch, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and policies.

Delivers high‑quality, timely, efficient, and maintainable software solutions in an Agile environment to meet both functional and non‑functional business requirements. Provides business solutions by participating in development of moderately complex or multiple software applications.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Develops original and creative technical solutions to ongoing development efforts.
• Designs applications on major, self‑contained projects.
• Develops applications for multiple projects supporting several divisional initiatives.
• Supports and performs all phases of testing leading to implementation.
• Assists in planning and conducting user acceptance testing.
• Develops comprehensive documentation for multiple applications.
• Responsible for post‑installation testing of any problems.
• Establishes project plans for projects of moderate scope.
• Works on complex assignments and often multiple phases of a project.
• Performs independent and complex technical and functional analysis for multiple projects of moderate scope supporting several self‑contained initiatives.

Education and Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and three (3) years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer/Developer developing scalable and high‑throughput enterprise‑level services and middle‑tier streaming applications using Java, Python, RESTful and Serverless APIs, and Apache Kafka in a microservice architecture.
