Senior Java Developer Job at Citi (Mississauga)

Job Description

Are you a technologist who still loves to code, but also has the rare gift of inspiring engineers and transforming how entire organizations build software? At Citi, we're looking for an individual contributor who sits at the intersection of technology and cultural change. This is a role for someone who can walk into a room of engineers, earn their respect by talking code, and then turn around and articulate a compelling vision for why engineering excellence matters — and how to get there. As part of Citi's Engineering Excellence organization, you will be a catalyst for change across one of the world's largest and most complex financial institutions. You'll work across engineering teams globally to embed best practices, elevate engineering culture, and drive measurable improvements in how we design, build, and ship software. If you believe deeply in the power of great engineering culture, and want your work to have impact at a truly global scale — this role was made for you.
