Position Summary

Position Summary: 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

Qualifications

• Post-secondary degree - Bachelor's in Computer Science or Financial Engineering


• 3-5 years of strong Core Java development experience, particularly on server-side, low-latency systems


• Hands-on experience with data structures and scalable, high-performance platforms


• Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle, including unit testing, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment


• Ability to pick up complex concepts quickly with minimal supervision - teachable


• Strong Java knowledge – the candidate should be able to write clean, working Java code with little to no guidance


• Data structures and algorithms – depending on the problem, the candidate should be able to identify the appropriate data structure and devise an efficient algorithm


• Communication – this is critical. Without clear communication, the candidate may misunderstand the question or fail to articulate their solution effectively

Preferred

• Exposure to Capital Markets (CM) or Fixed Income (FI) concepts (coupon rate, fixed rate coupons, bond pricing) is a strong plus but not required


• Familiarity with Fixed Income instruments is a plus (not quant pricing, but general bond pricing knowledge)

Job details

• Seniority level: Mid-Senior level


• Employment type: Full-time
