Job Description

Java Developer

The role is for a Java developer working in the Fixed Income Trading IT team.

The candidate will be responsible for the design, implementation, and 2nd level support of large-scale, multi-tiered Electronic Trading systems, primarily for the US Rates business as part of a global team.

The US Fixed Income Trading Technology team focuses on numerous components of the electronic trading application environment.

The application stack is primarily built in-house, both locally and in conjunction with the global development team.

The US team plays a critical role in adapting and improving the software to meet the needs of the US Rates business.

Fixed Income markets continue to move towards higher automation and lower latency of electronic execution.

The team is responsible for a wide range of applications/functions from responding to electronic customer request-for-quote (RFQ) via Tradeweb and Bloomberg, orders, real-time price generation, contribution, and the automated hedging of customer trades.

All related execution algos, models, and order management systems fall within this team's remit.

Given the small team size and the business direction towards automating existing manual processes, significant exposure to the trading desk is expected for the role; this includes 2nd level support when issues or questions arise.

Most of the application stack is in Java, although other technologies come into play as well.

Flexibility is required.

This is an excellent opportunity to play a significant role in the automation and latency reduction efforts of the highly liquid US Treasury bond and USD Interest Rate Swaps markets.
