The overall objective of this role is to contribute to applications systems analysis and programming activities.\nJob Specification:\nWe are seeking a Java Engineer to fill the role of ‘Applications Development Senior Programmer Analyst’ on the XiNG large scale distributed calculation platform (XiP).\nIn this role you will design, build, and maintain the software that manages and controls the XiP platform. This engine is responsible for 1.5 billion risk & suitability calculations at Citi every day. The calculation engine at the core of XiP is both highly performant and rapidly changing to support new scenarios, technologies, and infrastructure.\nAs an engineer working on XiP, you will work on a platform which daily; coordinates hundreds of thousands of pods, consumes tens of thousands of compute cores, utilizes hundreds of TB of memory, and distributes hundreds of millions of calculations.\nYou will work closely with software engineers, DevOps, and our customers to ensure reliable, secure, and scalable operations of the platform.\nResponsibilities:\nTake part of the shared responsibility for the long-term strategic direction of the XiP Platform:\nApply your experience and skills to develop the future versions of the calculation engine. This means making it faster, utilize resources better, and scale to even greater sizes. This means adding new features without impacting performance of the platform in undesirable manner, small changes multiplied by millions of calculations have a high cost. This means solving hard problems like transferring small amounts of data to a huge number of machines.\nCollaborate and innovate within the team:\nWork as a key member of the development team responsible for the next generation of XiP. Participate actively in the team's Agile/Scrum ceremonies, contribute to technical discussions, and share your knowledge with peers to solve complex challenges and drive the project forward.\nImplement changes and improvements to Citi's Risk Calculation Engine, including analyzing and designing improvements to the distribution mechanisms of the engine which regularly parallelizes 250,000 hours of compute into a single 90-minute execution:\nLead the design, development, and implementation of enhancements to the Risk Calculation Engine, focusing on optimizing its distribution mechanisms. Analyze current parallelization strategies and identify opportunities to further improve efficiency, scalability, and throughput.\nPlan, coordinate, and execute strategic changes to the engine to reach the next scaling milestone:\nDevelop and manage strategic initiatives aimed at scaling the Risk Calculation Engine to meet future business demands. Coordinate with stakeholders to ensure that all scaling efforts are aligned with customer needs.\nQualifications:\n7+ years of professional software development experience with Java.\nSolid experience with Java frameworks (e.g., Spring, Spring Boot, Quarkus).\nExposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).\nExperience designing, building, and maintaining large-scale, distributed systems.\nExperience with RESTful API design and implementation.\nStrong understanding of object-oriented programming and design patterns.\nExposure to NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra) is a plus. Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and test automation frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito).\nExperience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.\nExperience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices is a plus.\nEducation:\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.\n------------------------------------------------------\nJob Family Group:\nTechnology------------------------------------------------------\nJob Family:\nApplications Development------------------------------------------------------\nTime Type:\nFull time------------------------------------------------------\nMost Relevant Skills\nPlease see the requirements listed above.------------------------------------------------------\nOther Relevant Skills\nFor complementary skills, please see above and/or contact the recruiter.------------------------------------------------------\nCiti is an equal opportunity employer, and qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, status as a protected veteran, or any other characteristic protected by law.\nIf you are a person with a disability and need a reasonable accommodation to use our search tools and/or apply for a career opportunity review Accessibility at Citi.\nView Citi’s EEO Policy Statement and the Know Your Rights poster.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4978,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commercial & Retail Banks","Wealth Management & Financial Advisors","Payment Processing & Gateways","Investment Banking & M&A Advisory"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-25T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.446,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":61,"expected_fill_days":10,"reasons":["conf:21","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/citi-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/citi-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T13:03:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18460,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7841},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7841"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fciti-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fciti-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fciti-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/citi-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fciti-java-developer-distributed-systems-assistant-vice-president"}]}
