CANDIDATES MUST HAVE FINANCIAL EXPERIENCE Java Engineer – FX & Commodities Risk Platform Global Investment Bank | Low‑Latency Systems | B2B | Remote | Rate: 2100PLN + | Must have Financial Experience A global investment bank is expanding its FX & Commodities Risk engineering team and is hiring a Senior Java Engineer in Poland to help build a next‑generation risk platform used by trading desks in London, Singapore, and New York. This is a rare opportunity to work on a brand‑new system rewrite while learning from a complex, high‑performance legacy platform that has powered global trading for years. What We’re Looking For Strong experience with Core Java and Spring Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and low‑latency systems Experience with Kafka, Hazelcast, or similar distributed technologies Familiarity with modern data stores (ClickHouse is a plus) Ability to learn from and navigate complex legacy systems Proactive mindset — someone who can drive development forward Strong communication and collaboration skills FX Risk or broader trading‑systems experience is a strong plus About the Platform The FX & Commodities Risk Platform provides real‑time risk calculations and reporting across multiple asset classes.
