Job Specification:
We are seeking a Lead Java Engineer to head the XiP Compute Service (XCS) team — the engine room of Citi's enterprise-scale XiNG Platform (XiP), responsible for orchestrating and executing 1.5 billion risk calculations every day.
As the lead of the XCS team, you will own the design, development, and evolution of the most performance-critical component within XiP. XiP is Citi's unified risk calculation platform built on the XiNG quantitative libraries standard, and XCS sits at its core — providing the powerful compute paradigms and guardrails that enable calculations to run reliably at massive scale.
Your team is the engine that daily coordinates hundreds of thousands of pods, consumes tens of thousands of compute nodes, utilises hundreds of TB of memory, and distributes hundreds of millions of calculations across Citi's private cloud and Public cloud infrastructures. The platform is both highly performant and rapidly evolving, and your leadership will be central to driving it to its next generation of scale, efficiency, and capability.




You will work closely with other software engineers, DevOps, and our customers to define technical strategy and ensure the reliable, secure, and scalable operation of the platform.
Responsibilities
Take a lead in defining the long-term strategic direction of the XiP Platform:
Apply your experience and skills to develop the future versions of the calculation engine. This means making it faster, utilize resources better, and scale to even greater sizes. This means adding current features without impacting performance of the platform in an undesirable manner, as small changes multiplied by millions of calculations have a high cost. This means solving hard problems like transferring small amounts of data to a huge number of machines.
Take on the day-to-day leadership of the development team:
Lead the team's Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives, to ensure a smooth and effecti
