Summary
6-month contract for a Java Developer to join a globally distributed agile team on a major bank's strategic Risk & Margin Calculation and Financial Contracts platform, mid-way through a large transformation programme. Hybrid working in Westbridge (3 days per week), PAYE engagement.
Full Job Description
A global banking group needs a Java Developer to sit within the team that owns its strategic Risk & Margin Calculation and Financial Contracts platform, which is currently going through a major transformation programme. The contract runs for six months with hybrid working in Westbridge, typically three days per week in the office, and the engagement operates on a PAYE basis.
As part of a global agile team, you will design, build and improve complex Java applications and services, and own feature delivery from the first requirements conversation, through solution design, to build, test and go-live handover. You will also have input into architecture conversations and how technical solutions are designed.
You will work side by side with Product Owners, QA and Production Support colleagues, plus the wider business stakeholder community, run code reviews and champion good engineering habits. There is also an expectation to take part in support rosters for production and non-production environments.
The team is looking for solid, practical Java development experience in enterprise settings, with a strong command of Java 8+, SQL, the Spring Framework, JMS, JDBC and JUnit, plus Maven, Git and Jenkins or TeamCity. A background in constructing and maintaining large-scale distributed applications, a solid understanding of design principles and how applications are architected, and Bash scripting on Linux/SLES are all important, as is experience of high-tempo, globally spread agile teams.
Requirements:
- Solid, hands-on Java development background in enterprise settings
- Deep knowledge of Java 8+, the Spring Framework, JMS, JDBC, SQL and related enterprise tooling
- Comfortable with JUnit, Maven, Git and CI servers such as Jenkins or TeamCity
- Track record of developing and maintaining large-scale distributed systems
- Solid grasp of design principles and how applications are architected
- Linux/SLES scripting with Bash
- Experience in high-tempo agile environments with globally spread teams
- Good knowledge of the risk domain as it relates to financial platforms
