Company Overview
Who are we? At Finastra, we’re a global leader in financial services software, dedicated to expanding access to financial services and shaping what’s next for the industry.

Responsibilities
Architecture & Design
Translate product requirements into clean service designs (DDD, clean architecture, event‑driven patterns). Define service contracts, versioning strategy, and backward‑compatible change management. Drive design reviews and make pragmatic trade‑offs (latency vs. throughput, storage vs. compute, sync vs. async).
Build & Delivery
Develop high‑quality Java services using Spring Boot/Spring Cloud and RESTful APIs (OpenAPI/Swagger). Ensure robust data models and schema evolution for PostgreSQL/Oracle. Champion automated testing across levels (unit, integration, contract, end‑to‑end).
Quality, Security & Reliability
Enforce code quality standards (static analysis, code review discipline, secure coding). Implement OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, Spring Security, secret management, and supply‑chain hygiene. Define SLOs, implement observability (logs/metrics/traces), and lead incident response & RCA with clear follow‑ups.
Performance & Scale
Profile and tune JVM/GC, optimize SQL and caching layers, and validate at scale with load/perf tests. Eliminate hotspots and remove bottlenecks through measurement, not intuition.
Leadership & Collaboration
Act as feature/module owner for one or more services from design to production readiness. Mentor engineers via pairing, structured reviews,
tech talks, and clear playbooks. Communicate scope, risks, dependencies, and timelines crisply; unblock cross‑team work.
Required Skills (Must‑Have)
Core Engineering Java, Spring Boot, Spring Data/JPA (Hibernate), Spring Cloud (config, discovery, resilience). Microservices architecture and inter‑service communication patterns. REST API design & documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).
Data & Messaging
Robust SQL with PostgreSQL/Oracle; schema design, query optimization, migrations. Kafka or IBM MQ for event streaming/asynchronous processing.
Build & CI/CD
Maven/Gradle, Git, and pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Azure DevOps). Trunk‑based development, code reviews, artifacted builds, and quality gates.
Containers & Runtime
Docker, working knowledge of Kubernetes (deployments, services, config/secret management).
Testing & Observability
JUnit 5, Mockito, Testcontainers, contract testing fundamentals. SonarQube (or equivalent), OWASP basics; logs/metrics/traces (e.g., ELK/Splunk, OpenTelemetry).
Security & Compliance
OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, Spring Security; dependency risk management and least‑privilege access.
Professional Skills
Ownership mindset, bias for action, and clear written/verbal communication. Comfortable leading technical decisions, guiding peers, and collaborating in Agile teams.
Preferred (Nice‑to‑Have)
Finastra Global PAYplus (GPP) knowledge (Classic/SP): payment‑hub routing/orchestration, API & file integrations; familiarity with Authenticated Collections (DebiCheck) flows (mandate initiation/authentication TT1/TT2/TT3, early‑window presentment). Reactive programming (Project Reactor, Spring WebFlux). API Gateways (Kong, Apigee, Spring Cloud Gateway) with rate‑limiting and auth. Consumer‑driven contract testing (Pact) and schema governance. Helm/Infrastructure‑as‑Code in collaboration with DevOps.
Payments/financial‑services domain; event sourcing, gRPC, or GraphQL; strong DDD patterns. Basic front‑end familiarity (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) for API troubleshooting.
Education
Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent practical experience.
Tooling (Typical)
VCS: Git (GitHub/Azure Repos) CI/CD: Jenkins / GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Azure DevOps Build: Maven or Gradle Quality: SonarQube, OWASP Dependency‑Check Runtime: Docker, Kubernetes Collaboration: Jira, Confluence, Teams
