Job description

Agile Developer Job Description Template

1. About the Role

An Agile Developer in financial services writes production code that financial data, investor workflows, and client-facing applications depend on directly. Short. The role spans the full delivery cycle within sprint-based teams: gathering requirements from business and compliance stakeholders, building and testing features, and supporting post-release operations. What makes it demanding is the intersection of development velocity and regulatory discipline; financial market data, back-office processes, and investor-facing systems all carry expectations for auditability and uptime that go well beyond standard software projects. This is individual contributor work with real organizational reach.

2. Position Summary

As the Agile Developer, you own end-to-end feature delivery for financial technology applications, from requirements elicitation through production support, ensuring systems meet both business objectives and the regulatory expectations of financial services. You work within cross-functional agile teams alongside business analysts, Scrum Masters, and solution architects, with scope spanning client-facing platforms, analytics applications, and investor-portal infrastructure.

3. Why Join Us

Career Impact: Deep delivery experience across financial market data systems and investor-facing platforms builds a profile that commands premium positioning in fintech and asset management hiring.

Business Impact: The analytics and loyalty applications and investor portals you develop handle real financial instruments and back-office workflows, meaning your code quality directly determines system reliability for institutional users.

Growth Opportunity: Consistent delivery at this level opens pathways to senior individual contributor, solutions architect, or technical lead roles within financial technology organizations.

4. Key Responsibilities

• Elicit and document detailed requirements, process flows, and data flows for new features and enhancements to financial technology applications.
• Design and develop enterprise web applications, services, and RESTful APIs meeting financial domain and accessibility standards.
• Implement microservice-based backend logic to retrieve, process, and present complex financial datasets.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives, to maintain a predictable delivery cadence.
• Conduct root cause analysis and impact assessment for production incidents, including L1 and L2 support triage.
• Review code and enforce development best practices across application teams to sustain release quality.
• Collaborate with business, compliance, and technology stakeholders to maintain strategic alignment on solutions in flight.
• Support UAT, release management, and post-implementation verification for application changes.

5. Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of software development experience in financial services or a similarly regulated technology environment, with demonstrated delivery of production applications.
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming and the ability to write modular, testable code across at least one primary language stack.
• Experience developing and consuming RESTful or microservice-based APIs in a distributed systems environment.
• Understanding of SDLC methodology, version control workflows, and CI/CD pipeline practices.
• Ability to gather, document, and validate requirements directly from business and compliance stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills sufficient to translate technical trade-offs into business-friendly language.

6. Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in financial services sub-domains such as alternative asset management, loyalty platform development, or investor-portal engineering.
• Familiarity with data streaming, event-driven architectures, or mainframe integration patterns common in back-office financial processing.
• Exposure to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards in client-facing web application development.
• Prior experience managing agile delivery artifacts, including backlog grooming, Kanban boards, or sprint tracking systems.

7. Success Metrics & Environment

• Sprint velocity and story point completion rate, measuring consistency of individual delivery commitments.
• Post-release defect rate per sprint, tracking code quality against the team's production baseline.
• Mean time to resolution for L1 and L2 production incidents attributed to owned application components.
• Requirements sign-off cycle time, reflecting how efficiently stakeholder elicitation and documentation reach approval.
• UAT pass rate on first submission, indicating alignment between development output and business acceptance criteria.
• Typical tools: version control platforms (commonly Git or Bitbucket); issue and delivery tracking (commonly Jira, Confluence, or Kanban boards); containerization (commonly Docker)
• Base Salary Range: $95,000 to $135,000 annually, depending on experience and location
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus, typically 8 to 15 percent of base salary
• Equity: RSU grants are common at larger financial services firms; less common at smaller fintechs
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution varies by firm
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus standard federal holidays
• Common Perks: Professional development budget, conference attendance, and remote or hybrid schedule
