You'll thrive in this position if you take full ownership of your deliverables, embrace AI-assisted ways of working, and bring curiosity and a collaborative spirit to a team that values candid feedback and learning as much as delivery. Key Responsibilities Build and maintain backend services using Java and Spring, and develop user-facing applications using React and TypeScript, owning capabilities end to end. Design and implement secure integrations using REST and modern agent-to-agent protocols, ensuring quality through unit testing, manual validation, and test automation.

Collaborate with DevOps on deployment automation, observability, and portfolio security across environments. Apply AI-assisted tooling and Nasdaq's GenAI Platform to improve and optimize every step of the development process. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. Proven years of experience in full-stack software engineering, with production-level Java expertise applying object-oriented design, design patterns, and SOLID principles. Experience building component-based web applications; React and TypeScript experience is strongly valued. Solid SQL skills including CRUD operations, schema design, and working with database-backed services, alongside strong data structures and algorithms knowledge. Proficiency with Git workflows, Linux command-line usage, and an understanding of containerization using Docker or Podman. Practical experience using AI-assisted tools in a real development workflow. Preferred Qualifications Exposure to LLM or agent development, including function calling, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering, or agent-tool protocols. Basic familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Terraform or OpenTofu), Python or another scripting language, or Kubernetes.
