About the Opportunity

About your role
The CRD Delivery team is seeking a highly motivated and technically strong Technical Specialist to drive the design, engineering, and delivery of the CRD Integration Layer, a critical component of the Charles River platform ecosystem. The CRD platform is Fidelity’s core trading system supporting Portfolio Managers, Traders, Compliance, and Post‑Trade functions.

You will be responsible for architecting and implementing scalable integration services, guiding engineering best practices, and ensuring high‑quality delivery across the CRD integration landscape. You will collaborate closely with product teams, business analysts, platform engineering, and release engineering to deliver robust, secure, and performant services. You will also assist in delivering the upgrade of Charles River from the current on-prem solution to SaaS.

Core elements of the role include:

• Integration Architecture & Engineering

• Lead the design and development of integration components for CRD using Java 21, Spring Boot, Camel, REST APIs, messaging, and Angular UI modules.
• Define architectural standards, reusable patterns, and best practices for integration layer development.
• Ensure all integration services are cloud‑ready, scalable, observable, and aligned with enterprise architecture.

• CI/CD Engineering & DevOps Enablement

• Own CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Kustomize, Helm, and other release automation tools.
• Standardize build, deployment, and testing workflows across environments.
• Drive Kubernetes‑native deployment practices with automated promotions and pipeline governance.
• Assist in incident and problem investigation for CRD in collaboration with global teams

• Quality Engineering & Test Automation

• Establish and enforce automated testing standards, including JUnit, Spring Boot integration tests, contract tests, and Gherkin-based BDD.
• Partner with QA to ensure high-quality, traceable, and automated delivery practices.
• Promote shift‑left engineering and continuous validation.

• Collaboration, Delivery Leadership & Mentoring

• Work with a team of developers, setting coding standards, reviewing designs, and performing code reviews.
• Manage sprint-level technical planning, story refinement, and release readiness.
• Work closely with CRD BAs to align integration solutions with business workflows and CRD capabilities.
• Ensure production-grade observability through logs, metrics, tracing, and health checks.

About you

You are a passionate and forward‑thinking engineering leader who brings a positive, solutions‑driven mindset to every challenge. You are naturally curious, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership without needing detailed direction. As a self‑starter, you stay motivated, continuously look for opportunities to modernize the integration platform, and push boundaries to drive innovation across CRD technologies.

You thrive on solving complex problems — approaching technical challenges with logical reasoning, creativity, and a strong sense of accountability. You communicate clearly and confidently, enabling you to partner effectively with engineers, architects, product owners, and business stakeholders across the CRD ecosystem.

You value transparency, teamwork, and technical excellence. You bring a collaborative spirit that elevates those around you, and you adapt quickly to new information, priorities, and emerging technologies. You are committed to delivering high‑quality outcomes, even in fast‑moving or ambiguous situations.

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with strong expertise in building integration services for enterprise platforms.
• Hands‑on experience working with Charles River (CRD) or similar OMS platform with understanding of trading workflows, order lifecycles, compliance evaluations, and CRD data models. Involvement with a Charles River SaaS migration would be a real bonus.
• Deep expertise in Java 17/21, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, and modern integration patterns.
• Experience developing front‑end components using Angular.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and Kustomize for cloud‑native deployments.
• Expertise building and managing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, including automated build, test, and promotion workflows.
• Solid background in JUnit, Integration testing, Gherkin/BDD, Cucumber, Playwright, Cypress and automated quality frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of SQL, relational databases, and troubleshooting data or performance issues.
• Understanding of message‑oriented integrations, enterprise patterns, and event‑driven architecture.
• Experience working with GitHub, branching strategies, code reviews, and secure development practices.
• Good understanding of the Investment Management domain — including trading workflows, FIX connectivity, portfolio data, and post‑trade processes.
• Ability to leverage AI‑assisted coding, documentation, and pipeline optimization to improve engineering velocity and consistency.
• Familiarity with AI‑based tools in engineering workflows, such as intelligent log analysis, anomaly detection, auto‑triage, or observability platforms to accelerate troubleshooting.
• A forward‑looking mindset with the motivation to explore how AI can modernize the CRD Integration Layer and enhance developer productivity.
