RegOps Java Lead Developer

Regops Java Lead Developer

Work location: MetroPark Office – NJ

Work schedule: Hybrid

Duration: 6 Months C2H (Likely to extend)

Local candidates strongly preferred, interview will be f-f for final round (after 1-2 video rounds, will likely have a coding test)

Key skills: Java, Fixed Income Trading, Camel, Regulatory experience and Murex is also a plus

Note from manager: Many of the resumes I found were full stack kinds doing a lot of WEB/ REST API whereas we are looking at candidates more focused on server-side development with heavy messaging-based architecture. Another important skill I am looking for missing in many rejected that they all seems to be individual contributor types with no team lead or ownership kind of experience – an ideal candidate for us is someone with 10-15 years of experience and has been leading a small team of developers (offshore) and manage their deliverables.
