Core Java Developer Credit Trading Technology

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
