Job Specifications
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at the Java Dev role I posted here on LinkedIN, I appreciate it.
Allow me to introduce myself a bit. My name is Tom Welke. I am Partner & VP at RSM Solutions, Inc and I have been recruiting technical talent for over 23 years (been in the tech sector since the 1990s). So, I am going to be far more interested in 'fit' for a role like this one. A fit for you and a fit for the client.
So, what makes for a good fit, you might ask? From a social standpoint, we are seeking that individual who doesn't wait to be told what to do...we are looking for that person that goes ahead and knows what to do and then just gets that thing done. In addition, this role is going to be pretty fast paced...so, that ability to fulfill on your commitments will be needed for success here. If you say you can and will do x, well...we kinda need you to get x done.
This role is a contract role. I am only working with US Citizens or Green Card Holders for this one. In addition, I am only looking at candidates that are located in the greater Manhattan NY area for this one as well. This one is being done onsite in Manhattan. I am not working with external vendors on this role.
This is no ordinary Java role...so, I encourage you to read this JD thoroughly prior to applying. We need a hands-on Java Developer to join this client's Equities Financing Technology team, with a focus on Swaps and synthetic financing products. The ideal candidate will have experience building and supporting trading and lifecycle platforms, and be familiar with vendor tools like Nuvo Prime and SwapOne.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and enhance Java-based systems for swaps lifecycle and synthetic equity financing.
Collaborate with traders, product controllers, and operations to deliver front-to-back solutions.
Integrate with vendor platforms (e.g., Nuvo Prime, SwapOne) to streamline trade flow and lifecycle management.
Leverage AI/ML libraries or platforms (e.g., DL4J) for analytics, trade matching, or optimization use cases.
Ensure high availability, performance, and scalability of the trading systems.
Participate in code reviews, performance tuning, and support rotational duties.
Required Qualifications
Strong core Java development skills with multi-threading and low-latency architecture experience.
An absolute must have is experience working with Equity Swaps, Total Return Swaps, or synthetic financing products. Without dev experience in the PE, Investment Banking or Bond fund vertical, we wont have a fit for this role.
Familiarity with Nuvo Prime, SwapOne, or other industry-standard swaps platforms.
Experience with AI/ML tools in Java, such as DL4J or other relevant libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch via Java wrappers).
Experience integrating with upstream and downstream systems (e.g., risk, P&L, settlements).
Experience with Murex or similar risk/trade processing platforms.
Prior experience with Kafka, REST APIs, and messaging protocols (e.g., FIX).
Understanding of regulatory and margin implications in synthetic financing.
About the Company
We are more focused on low failure rate than a high fill rate. Anyone can SAY this, it is a completely different thing to PROVE it...We have been doing this for over 20 years, and we PROVE it every day. We are unlike any other vendor you have worked with before. We are abundantly sure that you have had this happen...a vendor tells you 'oh my goodness, this is the best candidate you will ever talk to ever...'. Then you talk to the candidate and find out it is nowhere near what you were seeking. Does this sound familiar? If it...
