Job responsibilities
- Lead the design, build, and modernization of FICC trading platforms with AWS as the default execution environment; define target-state cloud architecture, engineering standards, and delivery practices across teams.
- Drive migration and transformation of legacy/on-prem components to cloud-native patterns (microservices, event-driven architecture, managed services), improving resiliency, scalability, security posture, and time-to-market.
- Remain deeply hands-on (design + build + code reviews + production support) while owning end-to-end outcomes—requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, release, and operational stability.
- Lead development of core services in Java (Core Spring, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud) for trading workflows spanning pre-trade, trade capture, pricing, and related FICC capabilities.
- Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
- Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
- Design reliable integration patterns and messaging/event pipelines (e.g., Kafka and other enterprise messaging) to enable low-latency, scalable, and observable trade processing.
- Streamline the technology stack across the domain by creating reusable cloud patterns (reference architectures, IaC modules, CI/CD templates, observability standards) and reducing fragmentation.
- Implement strong cloud security controls (IAM, encryption, network segmentation), SDLC controls, auditability, and resiliency patterns (multi-AZ, graceful degradation, DR), aligned to firm standards.
- Define and track engineering/operational KPIs (availability, latency, MTTR, change failure rate, cost efficiency) and report transformation progress to senior leadership with clear, outcome-based narratives.
- Collaborate with Trading, Risk, P&L, and cross-functional technology partners to prioritize, shape roadmaps, and deliver scalable solutions that meet business and regulatory needs.
