Job Summary BNY is seeking a Java Full Stack Developer to join the Derivatives Technology team. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building new applications and workflows supporting Middle Office derivatives and OTC valuation.

The team is actively developing a new product with key deliverables targeted for the end of Q1, 2027. This is not a support, migration, or uplift role. The engineer will be expected to contribute significant new code across both the backend and frontend, working approximately 50/50 across Java and Angular/React. Strong Java engineering experience is the priority.

This is an initial 6-month contract based in New York City at the World Trade Center, 4 days onsite per week.

• Messaging & Integration: Develop integrations and asynchronous workflows using technologies such as Kafka and MQ, including connections with internal and external services.
• Front-End Development: Build modern user-facing functionality using Angular or React while integrating front-end components with backend services and workflows.
• Database Development: Work with Oracle and SQL to develop queries, support application data requirements, and troubleshoot data-related issues.
• New Product Development: Contribute to a new product and workflow platform, translating business requirements into production-ready functionality rather than primarily supporting or modernizing existing applications.
• AI-Assisted Engineering: Use AI engineering tools such as Claude, Codex, Windsurf, or similar tools to accelerate development, testing, and engineering productivity.
• Testing & Code Quality: Develop unit tests, review code, and maintain strong engineering standards throughout the development lifecycle.
