Software Engineer - JavaSoftware Engineer - JavaThe Fixed Income Applications development team is focused on building and supporting a pricing data and pricing related system. The team's responsibilities span providing a rich streaming prices system of financial products (bonds, futures, options, FX spots/forwards, deposits, swaps, commodities, swaptions, cdx, cds, equities, etc), dealing with non-streaming pricing sources (ETL), building infrastructure for keeping the data current and accurate, and providing multiple means of dissemination to downstream systems (such as analytics, risk, and trader systems. That said, this is not a low latency pricing stream for algo based trading.Team members interact directly with operations teams and other technology teams, so solid communication skills are essential. The team owns the entire software lifecycle, from requirements and design, through implementation, to production releases and support. Release cycles are tight, so in addition to strong development skills, you must have demonstrated the ability to adapt to changing conditions and learn quickly.There are no business analysts on the team, so we expect developers to have sufficient business and product knowledge to understand the requirements on their own. That being said, this is not a particularly Quantitative role – there is a separate Analytics team that undertakes valuation and related work. We focus more on building up and supporting the technical infrastructure.Required skills/experience:4+ years of professional experience with Java3+ years of SQL database development skillsSolid grasp of Multithreading, algorithms, and data structuresFixed income product knowledge would be a plusFamiliarity with event streaming platforms like Kafka, RabbitMQ, etcStrong communication skillsResults-oriented, can deliver quality code with quick turnaroundSelf-starter and critical thinker, takes ownership of own projects and makes improvement suggestions for the entire infrastructurePreferred skills/experience:Spring/Spring Boot experienceExperience with vendor feeds (Bloomberg SAPI/BPIPE, Markit)Experience with Unit TestingDistributed caching (e.g., Hazelcast)Python experience
