RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Austin, TX that is seeking a Financial Calculations Engineer.
Summary:
We're seeking a server-side Java developer to help design, build, and enhance our core financial calculation engine. This is a great opportunity for someone with 2-4 years of experience (including strong internships or academic projects) who enjoys translating business rules into performant code powering real-world planning tools.
Responsibilities:
* Design, implement, and maintain Java-based services that support core financial calculations, including projections, tax models, and scenario analysis
* Develop backend components that power client-facing features, such as our reporting platform suite
* Ensure code is clean, testable, and optimized for accuracy and performance
* Collaborate with UI and API teams to deliver consistent and reliable data to end-user experiences
* Translate complex financial planning logic and regulatory requirements into scalable, maintainable software models
* Work closely with analysts and application owners to clarify rules, identify edge cases, and validate outcomes
* Investigate and resolve issues in financial calculations and downstream report outputs
* Bring curiosity and a strong interest in finance to help shape how financial concepts are modeled in code
* Write unit tests, document logic flows, and participate in code reviews to support long-term maintainability
* Provide detailed QA handoffs, including test plans and validation steps, to ensure comprehensive coverage
* Improve platform stability, performance, and security across RESTful services, reporting infrastructure, and data integrations
* Investigate issues and clarify functionality by partnering with internal/external user groups and support teams
* Communicate technical progress, trade-offs, and outcomes clearly throughout the development lifecycle
* Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in accordance with secure coding best practices
REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
* 2-4 years of Java development experience (including internships or academic projects)
* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to reason through complex systems
* Interest in finance, whether through professional experience, academic exposure, or personal curiosity
* Experience with financial logic, simulations, or domain modeling is a plus
* Familiarity with Spring, Hibernate, and MySQL (or other RDBMS)
* Exposure to Git and agile development environments
* Comfortable owning implementation of well-defined business rules with high accuracy expectations
* Must like dogs (they're in the office every day)
What We Offer:
* Fun and relaxed environment
* Small, profitable, and stable company
* Opportunity to learn about the financial services industry in multiple countries
* Highly competitive salary
* Flexible time off
* Always-stocked kitchen with drinks and snacks
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
