Pinpoint Asia Hong Kong
Full time Permanent On-site Excellent Remuneration per month

About the job

About the Client: Our client operates a mature, industry-backed transaction network that connects wealth management firms with major issuers. Their platform is fully cloud-native, built on AWS, and utilizes a modern containerized microservices architecture to handle high-volume order pricing and placement.

The Role & Landscape: You will be joining a specialized engineering team in Hong Kong to build and scale their core backend services. This is a hands-on technical role where you will be involved in the full software development lifecycle.

  1. Architect, build, and maintain robust Java-based backend services running on Kubernetes.
  2. Design and implement RESTful APIs (OpenAPI/Swagger) and manage event-driven messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ).
  3. Work heavily with the FIX protocol for transaction processing.
  4. Collaborate directly with the product team on new features and the operations team for CI/CD deployments.
  5. Monitor system performance and troubleshoot complex production issues.

What We Are Looking For:

  1. 7+ years of professional backend development using Java.
  2. Deep expertise in the Spring framework, specifically Spring Boot.
  3. Strong practical experience with microservices and event-driven architectures (ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, or Kafka).
  4. Mandatory knowledge and working experience with the FIX protocol.
  5. Solid grasp of modern DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git), and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  6. A strong foundation in software design and enterprise integration patterns.
  7. Note: While FIX protocol knowledge is essential, a traditional banking background is not strictly required if you have the technical chops.
