• Implementation of client APIs and data models to allow our clients across the firm to interact with the Data Fabric
• Providing architectural guidance and technical assistance to other development teams as they onboard on the platform
• Implementation of automated unit and integration test cases
• Mentoring global team members and conducting code reviews

Technical skills required:

• 5-7 years of core Java server side programming experience on a Linux platform
