Are you a Java engineer who enjoys working on large scale and high performance software? Do you love working with smart people on meaningful technology? Want to work in capital markets on financial trading systems? If so, read on.
The Role at a Glance
• Senior Java Backend Engineer
• Fully remote for a top N. American bank (for residents of Poland only)
• Openings on multiple teams in the capital markets division (prime brokerage, platform team)
• Part of the core team - this is not a legacy support role or an outsourced B team
We’re hiring experienced backend engineers (6+ years) to join a major N. American bank — directly supporting the development of financial trading systems. This is not a legacy maintenance or support role — you’ll be part of the core product team, building highly-performant, low-latency systems used across the firm.
Are you a passionate Java developer who thrives on solving complex problems in low-latency, high-throughput trading systems? Join us and work on interesting financial system engineering problems.
1. Submit your CV.
2. Answer a few written questions and a short programming exercise which you can do at your own pace.
3. Participate in a three-stage interview process:
o Discuss your experience and skills.
o Solve verbal algorithm problems (focus on clarity and understanding).
o Tackle live coding challenges (no trick questions).
No take-home assignments – we respect your time.
Successful candidates will need to pass a standard background check.
• Work on a large-scale, low-latency trading system processing millions of daily transactions.
• No Legacy: Join an actively developed system — the engineers who built it originally are still on the team.
• Collaborate with a world-class team of developers across North America and Europe.
• Enjoy the stability of a long-term, fully remote role that only a bank can offer.
A successful candidate will be a very strong programmer with current Java development experience. They must also be curious, open-minded, and desire to learn new things. English proficiency is a must.
This role is for developers who excel at programming core Java from the ground up, not just integrating frameworks or APIs. If you’re fascinated by understanding systems ‘under the hood,’ this role is for you. Successful candidates enjoy geeking out about data structures and debugging application performance issues.
This is a fully remote backend Java development role for a developer in Poland. You will be working through a Polish company that will provide the support and administrative assistance to make you successful in the role. We are looking for people to join the team long-term.
Different teams have different working hour arrangements. For all roles, to ensure efficient onboarding, you’ll work in sync with the American team during US Eastern business hours for the first two months. Working this way maximizes your time overlap for answering questions, which means you can learn quickly. That means working until 21:00 CET. After that, some teams offer more flexibility your schedule can shift closer to standard Polish business hours.
Only open to residents of Poland. Polish citizens, as well as legal residents with permission to work in Poland are welcome.
We have expertise in designing offshore teams, hiring locally, and setting up processes, tools, and communications for continued success. Weve have in-house experience building software development teams in Poland, Ukraine, and across Europe for American companies.
