Join the Java Engineering Team at a top N. American Bank
This isn’t just another dev role. It’s your chance to engineer the core of global trading.
We’re talking ultra-low-latency architectures, real-time market data, and automation at scale — all in an environment where milliseconds matter and billions move. You’ll work on greenfield and semi-greenfield projects, building dealer-side workflows that redefine how traders quote, price, and execute.
If you thrive on complexity, love solving performance challenges under pressure, and want to collaborate directly with traders and product teams at the sharp edge of financial technology — this is your arena.
