 Job Description:

$180,000–$220,000 + 30% Bonus

The Opportunity

You'll join a small, high-impact team building and maintaining the risk management platform that client risk teams rely on to monitor and mitigate client-facing exposure across global operations. Your work directly supports margin governance and risk reporting for a business where accuracy and uptime matter every single day. This is a chance to own critical systems end to end rather than just touch a piece of them.

Your Day-to-Day

  • Design, develop, and maintain server-side components using Java and the Vert.x framework
  • Build and enhance front-end interfaces with Vue.js, HTML, and CSS
  • Write and optimize complex Oracle SQL queries, stored procedures, and data models supporting margin rate governance and risk reporting
  • Own the full software development lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance
  • Monitor system health and performance, catching and resolving production issues before they escalate
  • Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team
  • Take full ownership of your assigned modules, delivering high-quality work on your own timeline
  • Refactor and tune existing systems to keep them fast, stable, and maintainable
  • Build your understanding of financial instruments and concepts as you go

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer with a strong Java back-end focus
  • Hands-on experience with Vert.x or a similar reactive/event-driven Java framework
  • Proficiency in Vue.js, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
  • Strong working knowledge of Oracle SQL, including query optimization and schema design
  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design and integration
  • Experience in financial services or another high-stakes production environment
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach
  • Comfort working independently within a small, collaborative team
  • 5-15 years of relevant work experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems or related field

Preferred:

  • Experience with Perl and/or Python for scripting, automation, or data processing
  • Familiarity with risk management concepts, margin systems, or financial regulatory frameworks
  • Exposure to low-latency or high-availability system design
  • Experience in an Agile or iterative development environment

Please note: this role is open to full-time employees only; consultants and contractors will not be considered. Sponsorship is not available for this position. Relocation assistance is provided.
