Summary
Senior Java engineer at BTSE in Singapore building the firm's real-time reference-data platform: ingesting and normalizing external market data feeds, computing stable composite reference values with low latency, and supporting trading/monitoring systems. Core stack is Java (Spring Boot nice-to-have), with AWS, SQL/NoSQL, and Python for analysis.
Responsibilities
- Implement composite reference-value algorithms that remain stable and representative under highly volatile input conditions.
- Build and maintain aggregation methodologies (e.g. volume-weighted, time-weighted, median-based) used in downstream periodic calculations and reporting.
- Deliver accurate, timely data feeds and calibration inputs to internal monitoring and control systems; integrate new data sources on request to improve coverage and resilience.
- Conduct statistical and time-series analysis on high-frequency data to detect anomalies, latency patterns, and data-integrity issues.
- Design low-latency capture, normalisation, and cross-source synchronisation of external real-time feeds.
- Collaborate with devops and infra teams to deploy production-ready Java code on trading systems.
- Backtest and monitor model outputs; propose data-driven improvements to accuracy and robustness.
- Document methodologies and contribute to internal pricing standards across the firm.
- Support business operations, including on-call troubleshooting of pricing issues and onboarding new instrument listings.
Requirements
- Interest in global capital markets and quantitative/systematic data analysis.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with Java development.
- Experience with real-time or high-throughput data systems.
- Strong understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and low-latency system design.
- Solid data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; clear communication.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Nice to have
- Experience with real-time market data feeds or external data-provider APIs (REST/WebSocket).
- Familiarity with derivative instrument data (e.g. contract specifications, reference rates).
- Cloud platform experience (AWS).
- SQL and NoSQL databases.
- Python for backtesting, analysis, or tooling.
- Understanding of monitoring, alerting, and control systems for real-time pipelines.
- Spring Boot or similar Java backend frameworks.
