Core Java Tech Engineer – AVP Level – London Full Time

ThomsonKeene

We are working with an Investment Bank in the Front Office space and they require a Core Java Developer to join them working with specific trading applications which are business critical.

The Role:

You will work in a team specific to trading applications used for booking Exotic and bespoke trades. This is a role that sits directly on the business so you will gain lots of exposure and experience in a Front Office environment.

This will suit a Core Java Engineer that has an outside interest in trading and/or future plans to get into a Strat role.

Within this role you will cover multiple areas of development, mainly working with Java, but you will utilise other tech like Scala and Clojure.

In terms of product, training will be provided.

The role is focused on trading applications used directly by traders on a global scale – you will therefore work with cash flows and associated risks.

Essential Skills:

Good Core Java experience – Front End or Backend is fine, but the focus here is more Backend.

Good technical aptitude, you will ideally already develop in other tools and would ideally have some experience with Scala and/or Clojure.

This is a close knit environment with a strong team culture, it is therefore important that you have the skills to settle into a team like this – it is a fast paced environment but also a fun/friendly place to work.

You will need to demonstrate a real interest in working with the business for this role. Happy to pick up new challenges and learn new tech.
