Job Description

Core Java Developer – Credit Trading Technology

Contract - 6-12 month contract with possible extension or full-time

Location: Remote (Preference for NYC area)

We are building the Credit Trader Workstation (CTW), a central platform for all Credit Trading activities. Currently, multiple systems are in place across US and Canadian desks. The goal is to simplify and integrate everything into a single, streamlined platform. Integration with DSTS is complete; the next key initiative is integrating Bloomberg TOMS, with a focus on pricing components and an upcoming build of an RFQ (Request for Quote) engine and auto-hedging system.

This is a server-side, low-latency, Core Java development role. The integration work is largely complete, and we are now focused on expanding the development of new functionality. This is both a backfill and a net new role, with a significant focus on building the RFQ engine from scratch.

Responsibilities:

• Core Java server-side development focused on low-latency data structures
• Work closely with the Fixed Income (FI) trading teams to understand workflows, specifically related to pricing
• Build and enhance systems dealing with Preferred Stocks, Corporate Bonds, Munis, Investment Grade products, TIPS, REITs, Money Market Funds, and Credit Trading instruments
• Develop and integrate a net new RFQ engine and auto-hedging system
• Contribute to pricing components relayed to external systems
• Day 1 contributions expected in Core Java unit testing, code pipelines, builds, and deployment processes
• Participate in a highly technical, fast-paced environment and quickly ramp up on Fixed Income concepts and platform-specific integrations

Preferred Experience:

• Strong Core Java development experience, particularly on server-side, low-latency systems
• Exposure to Capital Markets (CM) or Fixed Income (FI) concepts (coupon rate, fixed rate coupons, bond pricing) is a strong plus but not required
• Hands-on experience with data structures and scalable, high-performance platforms
• Familiarity with Fixed Income instruments is a plus (not quant pricing, but general bond pricing knowledge)
• Strong understanding of full software development lifecycle including unit testing, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment
• Ability to pick up complex concepts quickly with minimal supervision
