Java Developer for Fintech Startup

Location:

Dun Laoghaire, Ireland

Position:

Full Time

Compensation:

Above market annual salary & benefits, plus the opportunity to earn shares in Cambrist Ltd.

Position and Company Overview

Cambrist is a fast-growing Fintech startup with a vision to redefine international payments by offering banks and other payments processors greater control & transparency over the foreign currency rates applied to their customers’ transactions.

To help us achieve our goals, we are looking for a Java Developer to join our team. The right person for this role will have several years of experience (both personally & professionally) developing software that works; software that solves real problems.

As a founding member of Cambrist’s technology team, this person will have a huge impact on our growth & culture, so we intend to be quite selective, but if you’re passionate about what you do and want to make a difference, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop high-volume, low latency applications for mission critical foreign exchange and payments processing systems.

  • Contribute in all phases of the development life-cycle.

  • Write well designed, testable and efficient code. We want code that is simple and yet accomplishes complex tasks.  We’re not interested in code for its own sake.

  • QA your own code and that of other team members.

  • Be engaged in continuous improvements by investigating alternatives and presenting them to the CTO.

Requirements

  • Completed a university degree (level 6 or beyond); maybe you studied Computer Science, maybe not. We’re not bothered either way. We believe you need a university degree because education is important, but some of our best developers taught themselves to code.  

  • You love to code. You do it for yourself, because you love it and you’re really, really good at it.

  • You have 4 to 6 years of proven experience in designing and developing Java applications.

  • You have hands-on experience with the following technologies: Java, JPA, JDBC, Web containers (Jetty, Tomcat), multi-threading, encryption, SQ and Linux; knowledge of Postgres and CentOS will also be helpful.

  • If you gained your developer experience while working, we generally prefer people who worked in small to medium sized companies where they had broader experiences and autonomy.

  • Be self-motivated and able to work well independently, without significant oversight.

Bonus Skills

Plus, you will be a rock-star for us if you also have experience in:

  • Managing SQL databases

  • Payments and/or financial transaction processing (ISO 8583, FIX 4.x)

  • Microsoft Azure developer environment

  • Web UI application design (i.e. servlets, JSP, Velocity templates, JavaScript)

But these skills are not requirements for the role.
