About the Role:

We’re looking for a Lead Reporting Engineer with a strong Java development background to head up a small, agile team focused on end-to-end reporting solutions—spanning regulatory and strategic platforms. This role combines hands-on development with Java, Spring Boot, SQL, and data frameworks, alongside leadership in project delivery and resource planning. You’ll serve as a subject matter expert (SME) across multiple domains, bringing together data integration, analytics, reporting layers, and governance—while coordinating across DevOps, infrastructure, application support, and security teams to deliver robust, enterprise-grade solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of reporting applications with a strong focus on Java (C#/.NET experience also valuable).
• Act as the technical lead for multiple Agile Scrum pods (approx. 5 people per team), providing functional leadership and ensuring consistency across teams.
• Drive the architecture and design of the firm’s strategic regulatory reporting platform.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, architects, and infrastructure teams to deliver high-quality reporting solutions.
• Develop and maintain agile delivery processes and ensure alignment across pods.
• Contribute to the broader reporting and IT strategy by sharing design best practices and technical guidance.
• Expertise in Java (essential), with additional skills in C#/.NET development.
• Proven experience with Spring Boot; exposure to Spring Batch is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of SQL and experience with reporting tools like SSRS, Power BI, SSAS, MS SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.
• Proficiency in data modelling, data frameworks, and ETL tools such as Informatica and SSIS.
• Experience designing and building regulatory reporting systems—financial services background highly desirable.
• Familiarity with Agile Scrum delivery and leading agile teams (functional leadership, not direct line management).
• Comfortable working with DevOps tools such as Jira, Bitbucket, Bamboo, etc.
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills, with the ability to align technical work with business priorities.
