Java Developer

The company is launching a 2+ year project to modernize its settlement processes, which will require designing and implementing new Java-based interfaces with upstream and downstream systems, together with ETL processes that support trade-flow data across the Global Markets business. The project will create a modern, API-first, microservices architecture, integrated with the legacy system, while maintaining BAU coverage for existing applications.

Responsibilities:

• Build new application components, REST/SOAP APIs, and integration flows.
• Design and develop ETL pipelines (e. g., using Apache Camel, Kafka, Spark, or commercial ETL tools).
• Integrate the new components and functions with the existing platform
• Provide back-fill support for BAU team members who transition to the project.
• The role sits within the Global Markets IT and collaborates closely with onshore teams in Tokyo and offshore teams in India.
• Develop high-quality, production-ready Java code (Java 8+) for new interfaces and microservices.
• Design, implement, and document REST/SOAP APIs, following API-first principles and security best practices.
• Create and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines using tools such as Apache Camel, Kafka Streams, Spark, or commercial ETL suites.
• Integrate new applications with the existing legacy system and database while ensuring no impact on existing flows
• Participate in technical design workshops; contribute architecture proposals (service-oriented, event-driven).
• Perform unit testing (JUnit, Mockito) and support integration-test activities; ensure code passes Sonarube/Fortify quality gates.
• Conduct peer-code reviews and mentor junior developers on Java, design patterns, and DevSecOps practices.
• Collaborate with offshore and onshore teams via daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and ad hoc technical discussions (English).
• Provide BAU back-fill support when required, ensuring continuity of existing trade-processing applications.
• Escalate impediments promptly and propose mitigation actions.
• Continuously improve development processes (CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, static analysis)

Requirements:

• Java Development: 7 years of professional experience in Java 8+ (Core, Streams, Concurrency).
• Frameworks: Strong knowledge of Spring Boot, Spring Framework, and Hibernate/JPA.
• API Design: Experience designing and implementing RESTful and SOAP services.
• ETL / Data Integration: Hands-on experience with ETL tools or frameworks (Apache Camel, Kafka, Spark, Talend, Informatica, etc. ).
• Databases: Proficient in SQL (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and writing stored procedures.
• Testing Quality: Unit-test expertise (JUnit, Mockito) and familiarity with SonarQube, Fortify, and Nexus IQ.
• DevSecOps: Exposure to CI/CD tools (Bitbucket/Git, Jenkins, Artifactory).
• Agile Practices: Worked in Scrum/XP environments; comfortable with TDD and story-point estimation.
• Communication: Fluent English (written and spoken) for global collaboration.

Preferred qualifications:

• Microservices/Event-Driven Architecture: Design/implementation experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, or similar.
• API-Management Platforms: Experience with Apigee, Kong, or IBM API Connect.
• Domain Knowledge: Understanding of trade flow, settlement, or other capital-markets processes.
