We provide the technology that supports core Prime Brokerage functions—including custody, client service, reporting, capital introduction, sales and finance—as well as the trading and post-trade processing of Securities Finance Transactions (SFTs), collateral posting and collateral optimization.

  • 5+ years of software development experience, including delivery of server-side applications using JVM languages.
  • Hands-on experience with JVM-based languages, including multithreaded programming.
  • Understanding of modern software development principles, including object-oriented design, automated testing, high-availability systems and production support.
  • Experience with test frameworks such as JUnit, Cucumber as well as test-driven development practices.
  • Knowledge of relational databases and SQL; experience with platforms such as DB2 or Sybase is beneficial.
  • Knowledge of non-relational databases and their query mechanisms; experience with MongoDB is beneficial.
  • Working knowledge of Git or Bitbucket, Jenkins, and Unix or Linux environments.
  • Experience working in an agile delivery environment across the full software development lifecycle.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with business users and global technology teams.
