Acquire deep knowledge of our in-house application development frameworks to handle support requests without guidance.
Be responsible for timely, quality delivery of work spanning multiple tiers/modules.
Tactically execute a well-defined but complex problem by subdividing it into simple, testable tasks.
Implement code using efficient algorithms and data structures.
Realize resilient, high-performing components using concurrency.
Help the team produce training material and design documents when needed.
Collaborate within a cross-functional Scrum/Kanban team; be a great team player across gateway, control-plane, and security sub-teams.
Frequently interact with external support teams to resolve technical hurdles.
Share knowledge with the group on your area of expertise via diagrams or presentations.
Fully understand and faithfully follow established engineering processes.
Support ETRADE's commitment to audit and compliance.

At least 3-5 years of software development experience.
Solid computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, concurrency).
Advanced knowledge of Java (our teams maintain both a legacy Java 8 codebase and a modern Java 17 codebase side by side).
Preferred
Good grasp of design patterns and service-oriented/API-gateway architecture.
Knowledge of J2EE and servlet-based web applications.
Some experience with Tomcat and Linux.
Familiarity with Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Git, and Maven; Gradle experience is a plus.
Hands-on knowledge of Spring Cloud (Config, Gateway/Netflix OSS, or Kubernetes) is a major plus.
Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, or Envoy Proxy/xDS-based service mesh architectures is a strong plus.
Exposure to LDAP, Kerberos/SASL, OAuth2/OIDC, or Spring Security is valuable given our authentication/authorization services.
Familiarity with Rust or WebAssembly (WASM) is a bonus, as the team builds custom proxy filters.
Familiarity with agile SDLC is a significant bonus.
Experience in the financial domain is a plus.
