The Role
You will work as a senior platform developer on BEAMs green-field, cloud based financial trading and risk management platform. Once delivered, this multi-tenanted software plus services platform will become a critical production application for tier 1 institutions on Wall Street, and in London.
Your scope will be to design, develop and deliver a number of core platform components that will help satisfy the demands of a very challenging target environment.
BEAMs fast paced environment will leverage your strong OO design and development skills. It will leverage your ability to work independently, and your ability to work closely with other highly skilled developers, within an open team environment. You will drive performance and reliability at a significant level.
While you make a significant contribution to this exciting, leading edge project you will have a significant opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of financial trading and risk management business processes.
The most successful candidates for these positions will be open, communicate well, and will have strong meta-cognitive abilities. They will be very skilled in OO design, and fluent and disciplined in their coding. Software engineers who are experience in asynchronous, multi-threaded development and who have worked on core software product are of particular interest to us.
