Job description

Contract | Remote with occasional onsite days in downtown Toronto

My client, one of Canada’s Big 5 banks, is building a new Inventory Management System inside its Capital Markets commodities platform. The project is net-new, and it plugs into a shared product ecosystem used across the business. Go-live is in April. That makes this a chance to build a platform from the ground up and see it ship.

You’ll join a small team (a lead plus four developers) on the UI side, working closely with the backend engineers. The role is mostly frontend, but you’ll need to be comfortable working in the Java services and the PostgreSQL data layer behind your screens.

What you’ll do

• Build and ship the React/TypeScript frontend for a new commodities inventory management system
• Work across the stack with backend developers on Java services and PostgreSQL data models
• Translate trading and operations workflows into fast, reliable UIs for business users
• Contribute to releases through go-live in April, including onsite support for launch days

What you bring

• Hands-on Java experience in a professional setting
• Strong SQL skills, ideally with PostgreSQL
• Experience working on commodities platforms or in a commodities business

Nice to have

• Order Management System (OMS) experience
• AWS

Details

• 6 month contract expected to extend
• Remote, with onsite days in downtown Toronto for go-lives and releases (must be within commuting distance)
• Hourly Rate: 65/hr-90/hr (max t4 rate- 75/hr, max c2c rate- 90/hr)
