Day-to-Day
An employer (Investment Firm) in Newport Beach, CA is looking for a Java Developer with versions 8, 11 and 17. The successful candidate will be refactoring and adding new features to an existing middle tier trading application. It is currently at Java version 8 and core parts need to be migrated to 17 (possibly with an intermediate stop at V11). It also needs to be moved to Spring Boot. (It is already using Spring.) There is lots to do. Our sprints are one week long, with big increments sometimes spanning two weeks. (Other tiers/parts of the application are written in C#, Python, JavaScript, and HTML.)
The application is used for trading bonds 24 hours a day, and is multithreaded so attention to detail is a must (in concrete ways which will be explored in the interview). All hands support the trade floor at times, so a willingness to occasionally switch from development to support and back is necessary. This role is a 6 month contract, possibly extending.
