You’ll take senior technical ownership, drive design decisions, and strengthen local support capability through mentoring and engineering standards.

You will be responsible for:

• Own delivery of enhancements and defect fixes for the FX Option Risk Monitoring System during North America business hours
• Take end-to-end technical ownership: analysis, design, build, testing, release readiness, and post-release validation
• Translat business needs into pragmatic solutions, making clear trade-offs across speed, risk, non Financial Reporting, tech debt, and cost
• Partner with Product Owner, Front Office traders, and quant teams to clarify requirements and manage ambiguity
• Ensure production outcomes: resilience, performance, security, and observability (logging/metrics/alerting)
• Reduce incidents through effective triage, root-cause analysis, and permanent fixes
• Manage cross-system impacts across integrated services and shared data flows as scope expands into Trade Life Cycle
• Collaborate closely with the China-based technical lead and engineering team, with clear handovers across time zones
• Lead engineering excellence in code quality, automated testing, CI/CD hygiene, documentation, and maintainable design

You will be successful in this role if you have

• Senior, hands-on experience building and supporting Java backend systems in production with clear technical ownership
• Strong experience with modern Java services (commonly Spring / Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices patterns)
• Solid engineering fundamentals: OO design, concurrency, performance tuning, and clean code practices
• Strong production mindset: operability-by-design, monitoring/alerting/logging, and incident management
• Proven ability to drive technical decisions and deliver with distributed teams across time zones
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including Front Office/quant partners
• Strong testing discipline (unit/integration) and experience working with CI/CD pipelines
• Nice to have: FX Options / risk monitoring / trading systems experience; Kafka/event-driven patterns; Ignite/in-memory data; Prometheus/Grafana; regulated environments with strong controls/audit expectations
