Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop automation scripts or tools to eliminate repetitive manual development tasks.
- Tasks may include: CI/CD pipeline migration, vulnerability remediation, configuration automation, and other developer-focused improvements.
- Use tools such as Java, Spring Boot, Python, IDE plugins, and optionally AI-based tooling.
- Act as the point-person for automation-related questions and best practices within the team and across adjacent teams.
- Collaborate with developers and DevOps engineers to identify pain points and opportunities for automation.
Must-Have Qualifications
- Senior-level experience as a software engineer with deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot.
- Proven experience automating development tasks and workflows such as build automation, pipeline configuration, or code generation.
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
- Comfort working across tools and scripting languages (e.g., Python is a plus, especially as the team currently lacks it).
- Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude toward reducing manual effort.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in or with financial services organizations.
- Exposure to AI or Agentic AI tools for developer productivity or automation use cases.
- Familiarity with IDE customization, developer tooling, or scripting APIs (e.g., IntelliJ, VS Code extensions).
