Role Name - Senior Software Engineer – Platform Engineering

Job Description:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in our architecture group to advance our core in-house server-side frameworks. The candidate will contribute to strategic modernization initiatives as well as operational support for these frameworks.

RESPONSIBILITIES
- Acquire deep knowledge of our in-house application development frameworks to handle support requests without guidance.
- Be responsible for timely, quality delivery of work spanning multiple tiers/modules.
- Tactically execute a well-defined but complex problem by subdividing it into simple, testable tasks.
- Implement code using efficient algorithms and data structures.
- Realize resilient, high-performing components using concurrency.
- Help the team produce training material and design documents when needed.
- Collaborate within a cross-functional Scrum/Kanban team; be a great team player across gateway, control-plane, and security sub-teams.
- Frequently interact with external support teams to resolve technical hurdles.
- Share knowledge with the group on your area of expertise via diagrams or presentations.
- Fully understand and faithfully follow established engineering processes.
- Support E*TRADE's commitment to audit and compliance.

Basic
- At least 3-5 years of software development experience.
- Solid computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, concurrency).
- Advanced knowledge of Java (our teams maintain both a legacy Java 8 codebase and a modern Java 17 codebase side by side).

Preferred
- Good grasp of design patterns and service-oriented/API-gateway architecture.
- Knowledge of J2EE and servlet-based web applications.
- Some experience with Tomcat and Linux.
- Familiarity with Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Git, and Maven; Gradle experience is a plus.
- Hands-on knowledge of Spring Cloud (Config, Gateway/Netflix OSS, or Kubernetes) is a major plus.
- Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, or Envoy Proxy/xDS-based service mesh architectures is a strong plus.
- Exposure to LDAP, Kerberos/SASL, OAuth2/OIDC, or Spring Security is valuable given our authentication/authorization services.
- Familiarity with Rust or WebAssembly (WASM) is a bonus, as the team builds custom proxy filters.
- Familiarity with agile SDLC is a significant bonus.
- Experience in the financial domain is a plus.
