Senior Java Developer

ABOUT US

We’re the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value – across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we’re proud to support the global economy.

We’re unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value – a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We’re always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.

We are looking for a passionate and talented Engineer to join our team. You will have the opportunity to work on the evolution of a solution processing foreign exchange transactions. The solution ensures foreign exchange confirmations are routed correctly in order to be settled on a critical market infrastructure. You will participate in the delivery and maintenance of the system, as well as contributing towards your team’s capacity and technical capabilities.

The Tech Stack:

Our application is a time critical system with full replication and data consistency built into it. At its core, our application uses Java, C++ and Oracle SQL DB. It runs in the SWIFT data centres as part of our mission critical messaging systems. The application works in tandem with other SWIFT applications. Input and output data flows are managed by Oracle Advanced Queueing while observability and monitoring of the application is provided by integration with operational tools.

What to expect?

• Work with other Engineers to design, develop, and test software with a focus on security and performance.
• Collaborate with different roles as part of an agile team.
• Participate in code and design reviews to maintain our high development standards.
• Perform software delivery tasks such as builds and installations of releases.
• Use your experience to coach and guide junior developers in the team.
• Improve and enhance our internal pipelines and automation.

What will make you successful?

• A degree in Computer Science (Software Engineering) with 7+ years’ experience in a software development role.
• Good understanding of Linux based systems.
• Practical knowledge of design principles and experience in writing clean, testable and maintainable code.
• Remarkable coding skills in Java, C++ and Oracle DB queries.
• The command line terminal isn’t a scary place: You are at ease working with shell scripts on a Linux environment.
• Quality-oriented: You know that delivering production-ready software takes more than committing code.
• Agile mind-set: You like to learn and continuously improve the way we work.
• Appetite for the business: you like technology and you love to use it to create solutions to help your customers.
• Team-oriented: You take pride from team achievements and are ready to support and be supported by your team-mates.
• Very good communication skills, including remote meeting setups.
