Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities
Hands-On Engineering
Code alongside squads: DDD (Bounded Contexts, Aggregates, Domain Events), Hexagonal Architecture, SOLID, TDD
Ensure Twelve-Factor App compliance for all cloud-native services
Software Factory & CI/CD
Define and enforce CI/CD pipelines, code review standards, trunk-based branching, static analysis (SonarQube), and API standards
Establish observability patterns: structured logging, distributed tracing, correlation IDs
Cloud Adoption
Drive cloud-native design patterns across squads: microservices, serverless, event-driven, container orchestration on AWS (primary) and Azure
Enforce infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), cloud security best practices (IAM, secrets management, network segmentation), and cost-aware architecture
Reusable Building Blocks
Feature Team Enablement
Pair-program, conduct code reviews, run workshops on DDD / TDD / SOLID / Hexagonal / Twelve-Factor
Mentor developers to elevate overall engineering maturity
Developer Community
Animate Community of Practice: tech talks, coding dojos, hackathons
Maintain an engineering playbook with patterns, anti-patterns, and reference implementations
Expected Deliverables
Engineering Playbook (DDD, TDD, SOLID, Hexagonal, Twelve-Factor, CI/CD, API standards)
Reusable building blocks, starter kits, and project archetypes
CI/CD pipeline templates for all service types
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
Monthly code quality and CoP activity reports
Technical debt register
Desired Candidate Profile
Technical — Must-Have
10+ years hands-on software development, building solutions from scratch
Expert in Java (Spring Boot), C# (.NET Core), Python, or Kotlin
Deep DDD, TDD/BDD, SOLID, Hexagonal / Clean Architecture, Twelve-Factor App
CI/CD tooling (Git, GitLab CI/CD); Docker, Kubernetes; Terraform / IaC
Cloud: AWS (EKS, MSK, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM, CloudFormation, API Gateway, SQS/SNS); Azure (AKS, DevOps, Service Bus, Key Vault).
Event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS/Service Bus/IBM MQ); API design (REST, gRPC, OpenAPI)
Security-by-design, observability, and code quality tooling (SonarQube, SAST/DAST)
Domain — Strongly Preferred
Capital Markets / Investment Banking: trade lifecycle, pricing, risk, market data
Corporate finance and securities services
Soft Skills
Influences through craft, not authority; proven mentor and community builder
Pragmatic: balances engineering excellence with delivery pressure
Strong technical writing: ADRs, playbooks, engineering guides
Education
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field. Certifications are a plus but not a substitute for hands-on craft.
