Equity Swaps Java Developer, Vice President, Institutional Securities Technology
Morgan Stanley
A core server-side Java developer is required for a Tier 1 investment bank supporting the Equity Swaps business. This is a global front-office team that writes the software supporting a leading provider of the Equity Swap product.
This role will be within the real time calculation engine and its related components that are the heart of the product suite. The developer will work within an agile squad developing within a system comprising of numerous Java services that interact via messaging to produce the product outputs in real time. Technologies and techniques such as highly multi-threaded Java, sharded Mongo DB and caching are used in the stack to provide the scale and performance that the product requires. A candidate is likely to gain exposure to both new and complex technologies as well as in-depth business knowledge.
The candidate should possess good analytical skills, strong software engineering skills, a logical approach to problem solving, be able to work in a fast paced environment liaising with demanding stakeholders to understand complex requirements and be able to prioritize work under pressure with minimal supervision. The candidate should be a problem solver and be able to bring with them positivity and enthusiasm in trying to think about and offer potential solutions for architectural considerations.
We are looking for someone to own problems and be able to demonstrate leadership and responsibility for the delivery of new features. As part of the development cycle, you would be expected to write quality unit tests, supply documentation if relevant for new feature build outs, and be involved in the test cycle, including proposing how an item can be automatically tested (and potentially deployed) within our pipeline.
Although the role is predominantly Java, we require someone who is flexible with the development environment; while Java is the majority skill, some days you might be writing Java and other days you might need to tune a stored procedure or tweak a shell script. You would be expected to get involved in the Level 3 production support rota which is shared between our developers globally. Although we have a dedicated release team, you may need to occasionally help with weekend deployment activities.
