Senior Java Developer (Investment Guidelines Compliance)

Senior Java Developer – Investment Guidelines Compliance (IGC)

## About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our Investment Guidelines Compliance (IGC) team. You will work on a strategic initiative to surface compliance data from a legacy system into our target platform — replacing a manual, Excel-based workflow with a robust, well-architected data layer.

This is an app-layer role focused on data analysis, modeling, and clean Java engineering. You'll work day-to-day with a small, integrated team and have direct access to domain experts on the IGC side.

## What You'll Be Working On

The IGC team currently exports compliance data daily from a legacy system and applies manual Excel formulas to process thousands of SQL-based compliance rules alongside holdings and trade data. The goal is to eliminate that manual process in two phases: first by surfacing data in read-only mode into the target platform, then by fully migrating and re-implementing rules into its rules engine.

Your immediate focus will be analyzing legacy data structures, formalizing them into a well-designed Java system, and ensuring clean, reliable data delivery to the target platform. Data distribution is handled automatically by the platform — not in scope for this role.

## Responsibilities

- Analyze and reverse-engineer legacy data structures and compliance rule logic

- Design and implement a clean Java data layer to formalize and expose legacy compliance data

- Collaborate closely with internal engineering and the broader team

- Work with the IGC team to understand compliance requirements and validate outputs

- Contribute to the longer-term migration of rules into the target rules engine

## Requirements

- 6+ years of hands-on Java development experience

- Strong background in data architecture and data modeling

- Experience with relational databases (Postgres, Snowflake, or similar)

- Experience with Event-Driven Architecture

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent

## Nice to Have

- Experience with investment guidelines compliance or the Fixed Income domain

- Familiarity with Azure cloud services

- Prior work on legacy system migrations or data formalization projects
