About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Brokerage Platform as a Service and API teams. In this role, you will work on the design and development of high-performance, scalable, and low-latency applications using Java, Kafka, Postgres on AWS. You'll help build event-driven microservices that enable real-time data processing and high-throughput transaction handling. You will also contribute to optimizing the performance of databases, including strategies like partitioning to support our high-transaction environment.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will collaborate with other engineers to ensure systems are designed for reliability, scalability, and performance, while focusing on delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced, cloud-native environment. You will have the opportunity to work with modern technologies, focusing on low-latency, high-throughput applications and cloud-native architectures. This role offers the chance to grow technically, collaborate with talented peers, and contribute to a high-impact platform used by clients worldwide.

What You'll Do:

• Design and develop high-performance, multi-threaded applications in Java, optimized for low-latency and high-throughput
• Build and enhance event-driven microservices to ensure our platform can scale and handle high transaction volumes in real time
• Contribute to the design and implementation of database partitioning strategies to support distributed, high-transaction environments, ensuring the systems are efficient and scalable
• Implement and maintain messaging systems (e.g., Kafka) for asynchronous communication across services
• Collaborate with other engineers to design, implement, and improve CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated, efficient software delivery
• Write and maintain automated tests to ensure the stability and performance of the system, improving the quality and speed of development
• Optimize systems for performance and reliability, focusing on key non-functional requirements such as availability, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Participate in code reviews and mentorship, sharing knowledge and helping junior engineers improve their technical skills
• Work closely with infrastructure and product teams to ensure the software aligns with business goals and technical requirements

What You'll Need:

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on Java and building high-performance systems
• Strong experience with multi-threading, concurrent programming, and designing low-latency systems to handle high throughput efficiently
• Experience in designing and building event-driven microservices using technologies like Kafka or ActiveMQ
• Familiarity with database partitioning and sharding strategies to scale relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra)
• Knowledge of cloud-native architectures and experience with cloud platforms such as AWS
• Hands-on experience in implementing CI/CD pipelines and working with DevOps tools to improve software delivery
• Experience with automated testing frameworks to ensure software quality and performance
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze complex systems and optimize them for performance and reliability

Nice To Have, But Not Required:

• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker) and Kubernetes for managing cloud-based services
• Experience with distributed tracing or performance monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
• Experience in financial systems or brokerage platforms, with an understanding of performance and reliability challenges specific to such domains
