We are looking for an experienced Java Developer to join a fast-moving delivery team building a new regulatory reporting platform for a global financial services firm.

This is a key build focused on MiFID II transaction reporting, trade transparency, and instrument data - replacing a legacy system with a cloud-native microservices architecture (Java 17, Spring Boot, AWS, CI/CD).

You'd be working closely with BAs, compliance SMEs, and QAs to deliver genuinely business-critical features.

• Design and implement scalable, cloud-native backend components using Java and Spring Boot
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features supporting transaction reporting, pre/post-trade transparency, and venue/instrument data flows
• Translate regulatory requirements into robust, auditable technical solutions
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to design, development, testing, and documentation
• Write unit, integration, and functional tests; support automated test pipelines
• Deploy services in AWS and contribute to CI/CD pipeline development

• Greenfield build - no legacy codebase
• Cloud-native tech stack (Java, Spring Boot, AWS, GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Regulatory focus (MiFID II, EMIR, SFTR, etc.)
