Description

My client, a 'Big Four' Australian Bank is mid-way through a 3 year initiative to move away from the reliance of vendor systems in their Markets Business in a bid to increase market participation and become more competitive on a global scale. As part of this drive, they have invested heavily in technology and have embarked on a number of proprietary system builds. They are now keen to hire a seasoned Core Java (not Enterprise or Web) Developer to assist in the development and delivery of an in-house built trading platform for their FX (Cash/MM, Algo & Sales) business.

Playing a senior role in an existing team of internationally experienced, Front Office technologists, you will provide technical insight and guidance to the design, development & delivery of highly performant, latency sensitive, Java based execution components. As well as this hands-on responsibility, you will act as the key point of liaison with the business and key stakeholders, delegate duties to more junior team members & take on lead responsibility in the absence of the Development Manager.

Requirements of the role:

  • In depth knowledge of low-level Core Java programming techniques (Essential)
  • Demonstrable experience delivering, Real Time, low-latency applications (Essential)
  • Team Leading/Mentoring Capabilities (Advantageous)
  • Strong Understanding of Agile Development Methodologies (Essential)
  • Understanding of the FX Business (buy & sell side ideally - would also consider Cash Equities experience).
  • Pragmatic approach with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical persons (and vice-versa)
  • Knowledge/exposure to an in-memory, column-based database (Advantageous)

KEYWORDS: FX, Foreign Exchange, Forex, Front Office, Trading, Finance, Automated, Algo, Algorithmic, Java, Developer, Programmer, Lead
