This is a unique and exciting opportunity for you to join a small team within an established, profitable company developing a state-of-the-art platform for financial transaction processing (the next generation of a successful existing product). Youll be contributing to the design of the platform and developing primarily with the latest versions of Java and PostgreSQL running on Linux on the server side. (We also have some existing Kotlin and Scala code on the server side and are working with C#/.NET Core on the client side.) Youll be helping to analyze, design, develop, test, and support complex application software as you work directly with the Senior Director of Software Development and our development team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Being a key member of a small but strong, carefully chosen team working on the companys core applications.
• Participating in design reviews to ensure a given release does not compromise the integrity or quality of the product.
• Understanding and enforcing all parts of the development lifecycle; including design, development, documentation, and testing.
• Digging deep into technical details to troubleshoot, optimize, and design and implement innovative software solutions.
• Solving tough technical challenges in a startup-like atmosphere with a highly collaborative team.
• Proactively eliminating roadblocks and successfully handling multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Required qualifications and skills:

• Masters or bachelors degree in Computer Science or related field and 5+ years relevant work experience OR 7+ years relevant work experience (including 3+ years solid work experience in Java).

• Strong knowledge of and experience with SQL, ideally PostgreSQL. Ability to build instances and database objects including the creation of tables, indexes, views, and stored procedures. Ability to access, query, and manipulate databases programmatically using Java.

• Strong leadership and the ability to mentor other engineers.

Desired qualifications and skills (plus):

• Ability to maintain, install, troubleshoot, and configure Linux (CentOS, Amazon Linux).
