The Opportunity
We are partnering with a leading global investment bank in London to expand their core Technology Architecture division. The EMEA engineering group is building a high-throughput reference data platform that underpins global capital markets trading and key regulatory reporting. This is a hands-on backend engineering challenge for developers with 2–5 years of experience looking to scale distributed systems, master functional programming, and work with massive metadata layers.
Role Overview
As a Scala Developer, you will contribute directly to the design and delivery of resilient, low-latency reference data components. Your focus will be translating complex technical and regulatory requirements into clean, testable distributed services used across global business units.
Key Responsibilities
