Full Job Description
A leading financial services firm is hiring a Lead Java Engineer to join their engineering team. You must currently reside in the Greater Philadelphia area to be considered.
They are seeking deep expertise in Core Java to work on mission-critical, real-time infrastructure. This is not a framework, web services, or cloud role - candidates with that background will not be the right fit. To succeed here, you need a strong command of JVM internals, concurrency, and performance-focused engineering in high-throughput, low-latency environments. This is an environment where technical depth is genuinely valued and rewarded, with strong compensation, excellent benefits, and clear pathways for growth.
Required Skills & Experience
10+ years of experience in Core Java development
Deep understanding of JVM internals
Strong command of multithreading and concurrency
At least a BS in Computer Science or related field
