Job description

The Impact you will have in this role: The Development family is responsible for creating, designing, deploying, and supporting applications, programs, and software solutions. May include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities related to software products used internally or externally on product platforms supported by the firm. The software development process requires in-depth subject matter expertise in existing and emerging development methodologies, tools, and programming languages. Software Developers work closely with business partners and / or external clients in defining requirements and implementing solutions. The Software Engineering role specializes in planning, documenting technical requirements, designing, developing, and testing all software systems and applications for the firm. Works closely with architects, product managers, project management, and end-users in the development and enhancement of existing software systems and applications, proposing and recommending solutions that solve complex business problems. Your Primary Responsibilities: • Act as a technical expert on one or more applications utilized by DTCC • Work with the Business System Analyst to ensure designs satisfy functional requirements • Partner with Infrastructure to identify and deploy optimal hosting environments • Tune application performance to eliminate and reduce issues • Research and evaluate technical solutions consistent with DTCC technology standards • Align risk and control processes into day to day responsibilities to monitor and mitigate risk; escalates appropriately • Apply different software development methodologies dependent on project needs • Contribute expertise to the design of components or individual programs, and participate in the construction and functional testing • Support development teams, testing, troubleshooting, and production support • Create applications and construct unit test cases that ensure compliance with functional and non-functional requirements • Work with peers to mature ways of working, continuous integration, and continuous delivery • Aligns risk and control processes into day to day responsibilities to monitor and mitigate risk; escalates appropriately Qualifications: • Minimum of 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and supporting large-scale enterprise systems. • Expert-level Java development (Core Java, Java EE) and Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot/Spring Cloud), including ownership of REST API design standards, service contracts, and backward compatibility. • Proven experience leading microservices architecture (SOA/MVC/layered patterns), domain modeling, and integration with legacy platforms; able to make and defend trade-offs across performance, reliability, and time-to-market. • Strong engineering fundamentals across web technologies (JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, JSON) and service integrations (REST/SOAP), with ability to influence API/UI contracts and end-to-end design. • Strong database engineering skills (Oracle preferred): SQL/PL/SQL, data modeling, performance tuning, and guidance on data access patterns. • Strong containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes); ability to design for operability (health checks, scaling, resiliency). OpenShift experience is a plus. • Strong CI/CD ownership mindset with tools such as Git/Bitbucket, Maven, Jenkins, Jira; able to define branching/release strategies and drive engineering efficiency. • Experience defining and implementing test strategy (unit/integration/UI) and automation using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, Cucumber, Selenium, and Jasmine/Karma as applicable. • Strong experience with messaging and integration patterns (e.g., MQ, Kafka), including event-driven design considerations (ordering, idempotency, retries, schema evolution). • Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum/Kanban), including leading technical execution, raising delivery predictability, and improving team practices. • Security-by-design experience across authentication/authorization (OAuth, JWT, mutual authentication, basic auth) and secure API practices. • Demonstrated technical leadership: mentoring engineers, influencing across teams, and driving continuous improvement through pragmatic decision-making. Preferred Qualifications (Plus): • Cloud-native experience (AWS preferred) including container platforms (Kubernetes/OpenShift), infrastructure-as-code, and modern deployment strategies. • Event streaming and messaging experience at scale (Kafka/Confluent, MQ). • Experience with modern data platforms (e.g., PostgreSQL, Snowflake) and integrating services with analytical/streaming workloads. • Experience with observability and reliability engineering practices (metrics/logging/tracing, SLOs/SLAs, incident response, root cause analysis). • Experience with secure software delivery practices and automated quality gates (dependency scanning, code quality tooling). • Additional backend and tooling experience (Python, Node.js) used in production systems and engineering enablement. • Front-end experience beyond Angular (e.g., React) and building reusable UI components/design systems. • Experience working effectively with geographically distributed teams and influencing technical decisions across multiple squads. Talents Needed for Success: • Fosters a culture where honesty and transparency are expected. • Stays current on changes in his/her own specialist area and seeks out learning opportunities to ensure knowledge is up-to-date. • Invests effort to individually coach others. • Builds collaborative teams across the organization. • Communicates openly keeping everyone across the organization informed. The salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations. Actual salary is determined based on the role, location, individual experience, skills, and other considerations. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
