Title:  Java Developer - Equities Regulatory Reporting

Requisition ID: 255325 

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

We are looking for a strong Software Developer to join the Equities Regulatory Reporting technology platform, supporting critical Regulatory reporting solutions.

This role contributes to the success of the technology organization by owning complex, production‑critical solutions end‑to‑end, influencing technical direction, and ensuring all deliverables meet regulatory, security, resiliency, and operational standards.

You will work in a high‑impact, production‑intensive environment, taking ownership of core regulatory workflows that are heavily file‑driven and batch‑oriented, improving platform stability, auditability, and operational resilience, and contributing to the long‑term technology roadmap.

Is this role right for you? In this role you will:

• Analyze business and regulatory requirements and translate them into robust, scalable technical solutions, delivering end‑to‑end ownership from design and build through production support.
• Own technical design and implementation decisions across complex regulatory data flows, ensuring data integrity, auditability, resiliency, and repeatability.
• Design, build, and support production‑critical batch and file‑driven workflows, with deep ownership of execution logic, rerun strategies, and failure handling.
• Develop and maintain solutions using Java (Java 17+) and Unix/Linux Shell scripting as primary languages, with Python used for regulatory reporting, validation, reconciliation, and monitoring.
• Build and enhance modular Java services supporting regulatory integrations, configuration‑driven processing, and downstream workflows.
• Design, implement, and support secure large‑file transfers (SFTP), including:
  • completeness and integrity controls (checksums, hashes)
  • marker / trigger file logic
  • reprocessing and recovery mechanisms
• Implement and maintain keyless authentication patterns aligned with enterprise security standards.
• Establish, enhance, and enforce CI/CD pipelines, quality gates, and disciplined peer code reviews.
• Prepare, execute, and monitor automated deployments, managing test and production releases through formal Change Management processes.
• Raise and manage change requests with appropriate risk assessment, mitigation, and rollback strategies.
• Provide Level 2 / Level 3 production support for regulatory platforms, including incident triage, root cause analysis, and permanent remediation.
• Create and maintain production and disaster recovery runbooks, support annual DR testing, and actively participate in DR planning and execution.
• Act as a senior technical mentor, guiding junior developers, driving platform standards, reducing technical debt, and improving operational maturity.     

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed?
