Java/Scala, Hack/Re-engineer, Open Source Tech, Tier One Investment Bank

Join an award winning Java team that hacks/re-engineers open source technologies. Previous experience of banking is not required.

My client is an award winning team within a tier one investment bank. The team consist of strong Java/Scala developers that hack/re-build open source/vendor technologies (i.e. Coherence, Guice etc.) to make them suitable for large scale distributed calculations. Previous work in this team has involved building a greenfield in-memory cache (Coherence wasn’t considered good enough), grid farm, and an IOC for dependency injection used alongside Spring and Guice.

The team are highly motivated with a strong code base (6 million lines), and an excellent process that enables them to complete two releases a week. This has resulted in a very strong relationship with the end users/business. Members of this group are also regular speakers at various conferences across the globe.

In short, innovation/adoption of new technologies is a key part of this team's make-up. If you’re keen on wanting to accelerate your learning with interesting challenges, complex problems, greenfield work - then please apply. However, you will need the following to be suitable:

Must have:
Solid Core Java (J2SE) server side
Hands on exposure to multithreading
Solid understanding of JVM

Advantageous:
Scala
