  • Collaborate with application, infrastructure, security, vendor, and business teams

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Knowledge of object-oriented design, design patterns, test-driven development, and application architecture
  • Experience with authentication, authorization, and secure application design
  • Experience with automated testing, build automation, CI/CD, and release management
  • Experience using GitLab or comparable development and automation platforms
  • Understanding of Agile, Scrum, and waterfall delivery approaches
  • Demonstrated technical leadership and developer-mentoring experience
  • Ability to balance project work, production support, and multiple priorities
  • Willingness to participate in a rotating after-hours support schedule

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Financial services or other regulated-industry experience
  • Experience implementing third-party enterprise applications
  • Production on-call or application-support experience
  • Familiarity with investment, treasury, lending, or capital-markets applications
  • Experience coordinating with external software vendors
