Java Fullstack Developer, Assistant Vice President

Role Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Java Full Stack Developer to join our Digital Asset development team. This is a hands-on engineering role responsible for building end-to-end product experiences across modern web user interfaces and Java backend services that power institutional digital asset capabilities in a regulated financial services environment. This includes contributing to API-driven platform services and user-facing portals that support digital custody, tokenization, transfer agency, and digital cash/settlement workflows. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to build robust, scalable, and secure digital asset products that meet our business and technical requirements.

Role Description :

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack features spanning Java backend services and modern web UI components for digital asset products and operational tooling.
• Build and evolve REST APIs and service integrations that support digital asset workflows and participate in the platform’s centralized integration approach (e.g., integration hubs / secure gateways).
• Develop responsive, maintainable front-end experiences using modern frameworks (e.g., React / Vue / Angular), focusing on usability for financial services users and operational personas.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into well-defined technical designs, estimates, and incremental deliveries within an Agile environment.
• Implement robust automated testing practices across the stack (unit, integration, and UI/API tests) and uphold strong quality gates through code reviews and CI/CD discipline.
• Contribute to operational readiness: logging/monitoring, performance tuning, production support, and reliability improvements for client- and operations-facing digital asset services.
• Work with security and platform stakeholders to ensure solutions meet the expectations of regulated financial services environments (secure-by-design, least privilege, auditability).

Core/Must have skills :

• Strong, hands-on experience delivering full-stack applications in financial services (or similarly regulated environments), with clear ownership from UI through backend services.
• Advanced proficiency in Java and modern backend development using Spring Boot and common Spring modules (web, security, data).
• Strong experience building RESTful APIs and microservice-style backend services, including documentation and integration patterns.
• Solid experience with a modern front-end framework such as React, Vue.js, or Angular, including building production user interfaces.
• Experience working with relational databases (e.g., Oracle) and ORM/data access patterns
• Strong engineering practices: automated testing, code reviews, and iterative delivery in an Agile team environment.
• Experience with enterprise cloud and delivery tooling (CI/CD pipelines, containerization), and operating microservices in modern platforms.
• Experience working effectively with multi-location engineering teams.

Good to have skills:

• Working knowledge of digital asset concepts (tokenization / custody) sufficient to translate workflows into UI and API behaviour.
• Hands-on experience with Web3 / blockchain-adjacent concepts and how enterprise platforms integrate with them (e.g., smart contracts / dApps integration concepts), especially in financial services contexts.
• Exposure to high-scale data/integration patterns commonly used in financial services platforms (streaming such as Kafka/MQ, API gateways, and event-driven architectures).

• Exposure to Node.js for front-end support or lightweight backend-for-frontend (BFF) services, including working with REST APIs and understanding how Node.js services integrate with enterprise Java or platform backends.
