In this role, you will help build and evolve the Portfolio Management platform, delivering portfolio management capabilities purpose-built for Fixed Income Solutions. You will support end-to-end portfolio construction and implementation workflows including intraday portfolio exposure monitoring, order management, scenario-based what-if analysis, order sizing, automated pre-trade compliance checks, and order submission. These capabilities enable portfolio managers and traders to make informed decisions, stay aligned with mandate guidelines, and execute efficiently across Fixed Income markets.\nYou will join the backend engineering team building and maintaining JVM-based microservices that power portfolio analytics, reporting, and trade sizing across these workflows. You will work in a well-structured, multi-module codebase governed by clear conventions, designing and operating resilient services and REST APIs within a modern software development lifecycle that emphasizes quality, security, and operational excellence. Experience with Kotlin is valued; the service is progressively adopting Kotlin, so a willingness to work across both Java and Kotlin is important.\nJob responsibilities\nParticipate in designing and developing scalable and resilient JVM microservices (Java and/or Kotlin) using the Spring Boot ecosystem to contribute to continual, iterative improvements for product teams\nProduce or contribute to architecture and design artifacts for applications while ensuring design constraints are met by software code development\nGather, analyze, synthesize, and develop visualizations and reporting from large, diverse data sets in service of continuous improvement of software applications and systems\nIdentify hidden problems and patterns in data and use these insights to drive improvements to coding hygiene and system architecture\nLeverage enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards\nApply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation\nContribute to software engineering communities of practice and events that explore new and emerging technologies\nAdd to team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect\nRequired qualifications, capabilities, and skills\nFormal training or certification on software engineering concepts and applied experience\nHands-on practical experience in system design, application development, testing, and operational stability in a production environment\nProficiency in coding in Java (Kotlin experience or willingness to learn Kotlin is strongly valued)\nExperience developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large corporate environment with modern programming languages and database querying languages (SQL)\nStrong fundamentals with relational databases, including schema design, writing and tuning SQL, and managing schema changes via migrations (e.g., Liquibase)\nOverall knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle, including code review, testing strategies, release practices, and operational support\nUnderstanding of agile methodologies and modern engineering practices such as CI/CD, application resiliency, and security\nWorking knowledge of cloud concepts and services (e.g., AWS fundamentals such as RDS, S3, CloudWatch, and container platforms such as Kubernetes)\nFamiliarity with production readiness practices including observability (metrics, tracing, logging) and incident/problem management in distributed systems\nHands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, testing, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate and validate AI-generated outputs\nUnderstanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations\nPreferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills\nFamiliarity with modern front-end technologies\nExposure to event-driven architectures and messaging (e.g., Kafka)\nExperience with containerization and platform engineering patterns (Docker, Kubernetes)\nDomain experience in financial services, including familiarity with capital markets, trading workflows, and portfolio management concepts-especially in Fixed Income
