Senior C++ / Java Developer

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong, hands‑on software engineering experience in C++ and Java, with a proven track record of designing and delivering medium‑to‑large scale systems
• 8+ years of industry experience, operating at a senior engineer or technical‑lead‑equivalent level
• Solid understanding of object‑oriented design, data structures, algorithms, concurrency, memory management, and system integration
• Experience building and supporting distributed systems, including messaging, APIs, and inter‑service communication
• Familiarity with Linux environments, build tools, version control systems, and automated testing frameworks
• Experience with modern engineering practices such as CI/CD, performance tuning, and observability
• Exposure to cloud platforms and open‑source technologies, and integrating them into enterprise systems
• Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) and associated tools and processes
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical outcomes without formal authority

What the job involves

• This is an individual contributor role responsible for the design, development, and delivery of high‑quality software solutions using C++ and Java within a defined product, platform, or client solution area
• The role emphasizes hands‑on engineering, strong ownership of medium‑to‑large technical components, and adherence to established architectural and engineering standards
• The engineer collaborates closely with senior engineers, architects, product managers, and delivery teams to implement technical changes that improve business and client outcomes
• Design, develop, and maintain C++ and Java applications and services, delivering robust, performant, and maintainable solutions
• Implement technical changes and enhancements that improve platform stability, scalability, and client outcomes
• Collaborate with product owners, business partners, and senior engineers to translate functional and non‑functional requirements into effective technical designs
• Build solution‑level extensions and component enhancements in line with LSEG architectural principles, coding standards, and approved design patterns
• Escalate architectural concerns, complex design decisions, or material technical risks to senior engineers or architects as appropriate
• Take technical ownership of one or more key components, services, or subsystems, ensuring high code quality, strong test coverage, and operational readiness
• Contribute to solution and component design, ensuring codebases are maintainable, extensible, and well‑documented across both C++ and Java stacks
• Support full lifecycle delivery, including estimation, design, development, testing, release, and production support
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues across development, QA, and production environments, including performance and concurrency‑related issues
• Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, and technical forums, contributing to continuous improvement
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers, particularly in C++/Java best practices and design patterns
• Ensure adherence to SDLC standards, engineering controls, and quality metrics, contributing to healthy team‑level engineering baselines
