[Michael Al-Iskalachi]

Hi all!
My client is a well-regarded software house based in NYC and they have been assigned with supporting a major project for an Investment Bank, also based in NYC.
They are hiring three Senior Software Engineers who have a strong Java/JVM background and some experience with Kotlin, Scala or Clojure would be great. The project sits within the equities derivatives function and you’ll be working alongside ten other engineers, from full stack, back end and UI specialists.
The work is due to start ASAP and you’ll be tasked with developing a real-time pricing and data visualization application for trading desks/front office purposes. This will all be developed in Kotlin/Clojure server side and React/Redux on the front end. There is Java middleware layer, an API layer connecting to Bloomberg, Reuters etc. (static), plus a price engine fed by quants. The database is MongoDB and they are also using Kafka for stream processing.

The successful engineer will have:
- Excellent Java/JVM experience, preferably with one or more of the following technologies: Kotlin, Scala or Clojure (Kotlin is a major plus!)
- Experience with Spring/Spring Boot
- AWS experience
- Microservices
- Kafka
- TDD, test driven first advocate
- React/Redux or similar i.e. Angular
- A passion and knowledge of the financial services/investment domain would be a real bonus i.e. equities derivatives, fixed income, equities, swaps, futures, options etc.
Hourly Rates: $120 to $140 Per Hour (dependent upon experience) - standard 40-hour work week
Contract Duration: 6 Months + (likely to extend for 18 to 24 months)
If you feel that you could enjoy and comfortably fit into this unique role of Senior Software Engineer, please DM me for further information. Thank you! 🙂
