Description du poste

Role Overview

Citi is seeking a highly skilled, passionate, and hands‑on Senior Applications Development Engineer (VP level / Individual Contributor) to drive core software development within the Finance Engine – Hedge Fund Billing Technology team. In this hands‑on engineering role, you will be responsible for the end‑to‑end coding, implementation, optimization, and maintenance of high‑throughput, mission‑critical financial calculation engines and distributed microservices supporting global institutional hedge fund clients. This platform processes complex, tiered fee structures and high‑volume transactional workflows across multiple business lines, demanding ultra‑low latency, strict transactional integrity (ACID), high availability, and clean, resilient code design. As a Senior Developer, your primary focus will be active coding, system design, query optimization, automated testing, and CI/CD deployment. You will work closely with lead architects, product analysts, and engineering peers to build robust full‑stack solutions, debug complex issues, refactor legacy components, and champion software craftsmanship across modern Java and Angular frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands‑On Full‑Stack Development & Microservices Engineering
• Core Application Development: Write clean, modular, efficient, and well‑documented code across distributed Core Java / Spring Boot microservices and modern Angular SPAs.
• Calculation Engine Implementation: Implement and maintain high‑throughput financial calculation logic, fee algorithms, and multi‑asset billing workflows requiring low‑latency execution and high concurrency.
• API & System Integration: Design, develop, and consume secure, robust RESTful APIs and asynchronous event‑driven messaging pipelines (Kafka / RabbitMQ / JMS).
• Refactoring & Modernization: Actively contribute to legacy code modernization, containerization (Docker, OpenShift / Kubernetes), and framework upgrades to maintain modern architectural standards.
• Debugging & Problem Solving: Deep‑dive into complex runtime issues, thread contention, memory leaks, and distributed transaction bottlenecks to deliver rapid, permanent technical fixes.
• Database Development & Query Optimization
• Schema Design & SQL Engineering: Develop and optimize complex SQL queries, stored procedures, table schemas, and indexing strategies on relational databases (MSSQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL).
• Data Integrity & Consistency: Ensure strict transactional integrity (ACID compliance), robust error handling, and auditable financial data processing across high‑volume batch and real‑time streams.
• Performance Tuning: Conduct database profiling, execution plan analysis, and query tuning to eliminate batch bottlenecks and reduce processing times.
• Software Quality, Automated Testing & DevOps
• Test Automation (TDD/BDD): Write comprehensive unit, integration, and component tests using JUnit, Mockito, and relevant mocking frameworks to maintain high test coverage.
• Code Quality & Best Practices: Adhere to enterprise static analysis standards (SonarQube) and participate actively in peer code reviews to maintain high coding standards and prevent vulnerabilities.
• CI/CD & Deployment Automation: Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Jenkins, Harness), automated build scripts, and container deployment manifests.
• Production Support & L3 Troubleshooting: Partner with SRE and DevOps teams to triage Level 3 production issues, analyze logs and metrics (Splunk, Grafana, Prometheus), and implement permanent root‑cause fixes.
• Technical Collaboration & Agile Execution
• Agile Sprint Delivery: Actively participate in sprint planning, technical task estimation, daily standups, and backlog grooming.
• Technical Specifications: Translate user stories and functional requirements into detailed technical designs, class diagrams, and sequence flows.
• Peer Collaboration: Share technical knowledge, pair‑program on complex tasks, and collaborate constructively with squad members to meet sprint commitments.
• Risk, Security & Regulatory Compliance
• Secure Coding: Follow secure development lifecycle (SDLC) standards, remediate security vulnerabilities (SAST/DAST findings), and ensure data encryption/privacy protocols are rigorously maintained.
• Audit & Control Governance: Ensure all deliverables adhere to Citi’s software engineering governance, change management protocols, and risk controls.

Qualifications & Skills

Required Technical Expertise & Experience

• Experience: 6–10+ years of hands‑on software development experience building enterprise‑scale distributed systems and transactional applications.

• Frontend Engineering: Hands‑on experience developing single‑page applications (SPAs) using modern Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, HTML5, and CSS/SCSS.
• Relational Database Expertise: Strong hands‑on SQL programming and tuning experience across MSSQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL (complex joins, CTEs, indexing, query execution plans).
• Event Streaming & Messaging: Practical experience developing event‑driven producers/consumers using Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, or JMS.
• Containerization & Tooling: Working knowledge of Docker, Red Hat OpenShift / Kubernetes, Linux shell scripting, and Git/Bitbucket.
