2. Tool & Governance Compliance – Track work in Jira, log time in Clarity, and adhere to SDLC and audit standards.
3. Cross Team Collaboration – Act as the technical liaison among product owners, QA, and operations, facilitating workshops, walkthroughs, and sign off sessions across locations.
4. Mentorship & Continuous Improvement – Coach junior developers, share Java best practices, and drive enhancements to coding standards, testing procedures, and development processes.

• Design and implement Java 8/17/21 code using Spring/Spring‑Boot, REST APIs, and JPA/Hibernate.
• Create and maintain unit/integration tests with JUnit and Mockito.
• Build and debug using Maven/Gradle and integrate changes via CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Produce clear process maps, impact analyses, and technical documentation in Confluence/OneNote.
• Use Jira for task tracking, Git for version control, and work within Agile/Scrum ceremonies.
• Communicate effectively with business owners, QA, and operations, translating technical details into business language and vice‑versa.

Behavioral Competencies

• Analytical & problem‑solving mindset – Perform deep root‑cause analysis of settlement discrepancies, devise practical Java‑based solutions, and drive end‑to‑end resolution.
• Strong communication skills – Clearly convey complex technical designs and implementation details in spoken and written English, adapting the message for senior business leaders, fellow engineers, and external partners.
• Stakeholder‑focused collaboration – Establish and nurture relationships with front‑office, risk, compliance, operations, and IT teams; negotiate priorities and align differing interests to achieve shared goals.
• Teamwork & cross‑functional partnership – Work closely with local development squads and globally distributed engineering communities, promoting knowledge sharing and the adoption of best practices.
• Detail‑orientation & governance compliance – Ensure all code, design artefacts, and documentation satisfy regulatory and internal control standards, maintaining traceability and auditability throughout the development lifecycle.
• Adaptability & autonomy – Thrive in fast‑moving environments, independently own tasks from conception to delivery while knowing when to involve subject‑matter experts.
• Technical leadership & mentorship – Guide junior developers, lead design workshops, and continuously improve development processes, coding standards, and templates.
