This is an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful technical challenges, mentor junior colleagues, and operate as a subject matter expert within a collaborative, performance-driven engineering environment.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and implement enterprise Java applications using Spring Boot, Apache Camel, and related open-source technologies to meet complex business and system requirements.

  • Manage Tier 3 production support, diagnosing and resolving critical issues using tools such as Thread Dump Analyser and Memory Analyser Tool to minimize service disruption.
  • Contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle - from requirements analysis and design through to testing, deployment, and post-implementation review - within an Agile delivery model.
  • Implement and recommend security measures during post-deployment analysis to protect system integrity and ensure continued functionality.
  • Act as a technical advisor to senior stakeholders and less experienced team members, setting engineering standards and guiding development practices across the team.
  • Assess technical and operational risk when making development decisions, ensuring solutions align with compliance requirements and safeguard the integrity of Citi's systems and clients.


Required Qualifications & Skills
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing and maintaining enterprise shared services, with demonstrable expertise in Java 8, Spring Boot, and MongoDB.
  • Proficiency with messaging and integration technologies including Apache Camel, JMS, WebSphere MQ, TIBCO EMS, and OSGi, applied within large-scale, high-transactional environments.
  • Practical knowledge of RESTful API development, SSL, and Git-based source control workflows.
  • Working knowledge of containerization technologies, including Docker and OpenShift, for deploying and managing application workloads.
  • Experience operating within Agile development lifecycles, including sprint planning, iterative delivery, and continuous integration practices.
  • Proficiency with DevOps tooling, including GitHub, uDeploy, and SonarQube, to support build automation, deployment, and code quality management.
  • Solid SQL knowledge with the ability to query, analyse, and troubleshoot relational data sources effectively.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience.


Beneficial Skills & Qualifications
  • Familiarity with critical-situation diagnostic tools such as Samurai and Thread Dump Analyser (TDA) for advanced JVM troubleshooting.
  • Hands-on experience with Linux command-line administration, particularly on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) environments.
  • Prior experience with Lightspeed CI/CD pipelines or equivalent enterprise deployment platforms.
