Job Description

Join Barclays as an Equities Risk Software Engineer, where you will build high-performance, resilient Java services supporting critical risk functions. Applying strong concurrency fundamentals, you will develop container-ready applications designed for reliability, observability, and stable behaviour under market stress. Experience with derivatives risk, reactive or event-driven systems, and latency-sensitive distributed architectures will support the delivery of scalable, production-grade solutions.

Job Responsibility

  • Development and delivery of high-quality software solutions by using industry aligned programming languages, frameworks, and tools. Ensuring that code is scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance
  • Cross-functional collaboration with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define software requirements, devise solution strategies, and ensure seamless integration and alignment with business objectives
  • Collaboration with peers, participate in code reviews, and promote a culture of code quality and knowledge sharing
  • Stay informed of industry technology trends and innovations and actively contribute to the organization’s technology communities to foster a culture of technical excellence and growth
  • Adherence to secure coding practices to mitigate vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, and ensure secure software solutions
  • Implementation of effective unit testing practices to ensure proper code design, readability, and reliability

Requirements

  • Solid Java & concurrency fundamentals-comfortable with threads, executors, immutability, and avoiding shared‑state bugs
  • Container‑aware development-can build and run Java services in containers, understands startup/shutdown, resource limits, and basic observability (logs/metrics) in a Kubernetes‑style environment
  • Production mindset-thinks about failure cases, debuggability, and how their service behaves during restarts, spikes, or bad market data/input

Nice to have

  • Working understanding of derivatives risk concepts
  • Exposure to reactive programming or event‑driven systems
  • Experience with large distributed systems, latency & throughput sensitive

What we offer

  • Competitive holiday allowance
  • Life assurance
