Java Software Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Software Engineer to contribute to the resilience, scalability, and operational excellence of our Corporate Actions (GASS) platform. The platform processes voluntary and mandatory corporate action events — dividends, mergers, splits, rights issues, spin-offs, tender offers, and elections — across the full lifecycle from event capture and entitlement calculation through position impact, client notification, booking, and downstream publication.

Built on a heterogeneous stack spanning C++, Java, Kafka, Sybase, Perl, Autosys, Proc Mon, and MongoDB, the platform demands precision, auditability, and deterministic processing at every stage.

Tech stack:
Java (JVM), C++, Apache Kafka, Sybase (Stored Procedures), MongoDB, Perl Scripts, Autosys

• Contribute to the resilience, scalability, and operational excellence of the Corporate Actions platform.
• Support end-to-end processing from event capture to downstream publication, ensuring accuracy and auditability.
• Own production incidents, perform log analysis and RCA contributions, and maintain runbooks.
• Work with the platform’s heterogeneous stack and health monitoring to ensure deterministic processing.

• Java multithreading, concurrency, basic JVM/GC diagnostics
• C++, ability to read, trace, and debug native components in a production codebase
• Apache Kafka - producer/consumer patterns, offset management, idempotency, retry handling
• Sybase stored procedures - reading, debugging, and maintaining SQL
• Perl scripting - debug and extend batch/ingest scripts in a production pipeline
• Autosys - job chaining, dependency management, failure recovery for batch processing
• Test automation - integration and unit testing, regression coverage for event-driven workflows
• Production ownership - incident investigation, log analysis, RCA contribution, runbook maintenance
• Practical familiarity with AI-enabled development and operations tooling

• Corporate actions domain - entitlement calculation, mandatory/voluntary events, elections, ex-date/pay-date processing, custody chains
• Snowflake / SQL - querying large datasets for reconciliation and data validation
• Observability - Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, structured logging
• Gradle / Maven - multi-module builds and dependency management
• AWS / Kubernetes - cloud and container platform awareness (added advantage)
