Job Description

An opportunity exists for an enthusiastic Software Developer, with experience of Java, to join a cross stack Agile Team developing new features and improvements to a software suite, providing solutions to our large Financial Industry Clients, enabling the management of their Securities Financing and Collateral Management operations.

This is an exciting time to join Broadridge’s SFCM Development Team. The Department is currently in the progress of large-scale modernization of working practices across almost all operations, from commitment to the continuous evaluation and evolution of planning and dedication that is at the heart of Scaled Agile, to complete overhaul of our source control management model, investment in Dev-Ops, and a shift towards growing modularity of design as our applications fit into the large ecosystem of solutions that Broadridge provides to clients as a whole. Our Developers work in self-managed Squads delivering and contribute to the overall global Product with involvement and influence at all stages of the software life cycle.

The primary responsibility for this role will be to develop high quality solutions, adding functionality to our application server, the role of which is to reconcile the demands of processing large amounts of data from a complex data model with the requirements of an MVVM based .Net front end.

Developers carrying out work on our server layer should always consider the ability to migrate the front end from desktop to web-based technologies in the future. The role will therefore also naturally bring significant opportunities to operate cross-stack in other tiers, both back end and front. The server is a Java Application and so experience of Java development at enterprise level is highly beneficial. Any candidate with experience of application servers, who has written in an object-oriented language, service-oriented architectures, event driven processes and the associated design patterns would be considered though, given willingness to rapidly add Java to their skill set.

The Agile Team’s solutions are designed and developed to satisfy acceptance criteria for user stories provided by the product owner, in relation to either client requirements or the product road map.
