Job details

A leading financial services firm is hiring a Lead Java Engineer to join their engineering team. You must currently reside in the Greater Philadelphia area to be considered.

To succeed here, you need a strong command of JVM internals, concurrency, and performance-focused engineering in high-throughput, low-latency environments. This is an environment where technical depth is genuinely valued and rewarded, with strong compensation, excellent benefits, and clear pathways for growth.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 10+ years of experience in Core Java development
  • Deep understanding of JVM internals
  • Strong command of multithreading and concurrency
  • At least a BS in Computer Science or related field

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Industry experience
  • MS or PhD

What You Will Be Doing
