This is an opportunity to bring technical depth and problem-solving capability to a global financial institution where engineering quality and sound judgement matter.

Responsibilities

• Build and implement programming solutions in collaboration with users, clients, and cross-functional technology teams, ensuring systems meet functional and performance requirements.

• Develop application components to specification, translating design requirements into clean, maintainable code across both front-end and back-end layers.

• Identify and remediate application vulnerabilities through structured security analysis, testing, and debugging to maintain a robust and secure codebase.

• Diagnose and resolve technical issues by drawing on hands-on experience, evaluating available options, and implementing effective solutions with minimal supervision.

• Coach and support junior analysts, sharing technical knowledge and contributing to team capability development.

• Evaluate the risk implications of technical decisions, ensuring all development work aligns with applicable standards, policies, and control requirements.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 2+ years of experience in a Java application development role, with hands-on server-side Java (Java 8) coding skills and proficiency in concurrent programming.

• Working knowledge of JavaScript, Angular, jQuery, and CSS for front-end development.

• Experience with Oracle and/or MongoDB databases.

• Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, or Test-Driven Development practices within a software delivery environment.

• Practical knowledge of modern application architecture, including Microservices frameworks such as Spring Boot, event-driven services, and cloud-native application development.

• Hands-on experience with Web APIs, Kafka, and Git for version control and integration workflows.

• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt priorities quickly as project needs evolve.

Beneficial Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with IBM WebSphere application server environments.

• Background in data modelling or data architecture, providing an additional perspective when designing application data layers.

• Demonstrated ability to lead or manage technical workstreams, with experience contributing to project planning and delivery oversight.

Education
