Java Full Stack Engineer — Senior Programmer Analyst
Citi is looking for a Java Full Stack Engineer to join our Technology team and play a hands-on role in building and evolving large-scale enterprise applications that power global financial services. In this role, you will contribute across the full software development lifecycle — from architecture and design through to deployment and production support — working alongside product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver high-quality software solutions. This is an opportunity to bring technical depth across both backend Java and modern frontend technologies to a team where your code has real impact at global scale.
Design, build, and deliver scalable, high-performance backend services using Java 17+, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, and Spring Batch across complex enterprise platforms.
Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and microservices architectures, applying best practices in service design, data modeling, and relational database management with Oracle.
Build and maintain responsive, accessible frontend applications using React.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3, including integration with Redux and Flux.
Collaborate across engineering, product, and design teams to define technical requirements, develop solution strategies, and deliver software that meets business objectives.
Configure and manage AWS cloud infrastructure — including API Gateway, Lambda, ECS, EC2, MSK, and RDS — to support reliable, scalable application deployments.
Lead and participate in code reviews, implement unit and component testing using JUnit, Mockito, and React Testing Library, and actively promote high standards of code quality and knowledge sharing.
Apply secure coding practices throughout the development process to protect sensitive data, reduce vulnerabilities, and maintain the integrity of software solutions.
4 to 6 years of hands-on software development experience, with a track record of delivering on complex, large-scale enterprise platforms.
Deep backend development expertise using Java 17+, Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Spring MVC, and Spring Security, with strong command of Maven or Gradle build tooling.
Proven ability to design and implement RESTful services and microservices, with solid experience in data modeling and Oracle relational database design.
Expert-level frontend development skills across React.js (including Redux and Flux), TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3, with hands-on use of Webpack, Babel, and npm/yarn.
Practical experience configuring AWS services including API Gateway, Lambda, ECS, EC2, Elastic Load Balancers, MSK, and RDS, with broader familiarity in cloud infrastructure setup.
Experience with observability tooling — including Elastic and Kibana — for application monitoring, debugging, and performance analysis.
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent professional experience.
Experience working with GitLab or Bitbucket for version control and continuous integration, including building and maintaining Jenkins pipelines.
Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
Familiarity with Agile and Scrum methodologies, with the ability to contribute effectively in iterative, cross-functional delivery environments.
Knowledge of responsive design principles and ADA accessibility compliance standards in frontend development.
Certification in a relevant cloud or technology platform (e.g., AWS certification).
At Citi, you will work on technology that operates at a scale few organizations can offer. You will be part of a collaborative engineering team where your contributions directly shape the platforms used by clients and colleagues around the world. We invest in our people through structured learning, career development, and a working model designed to support both performance and wellbeing.
Hybrid working model with 3 days in the office and 2 days working remotely, providing flexibility alongside team connection.
Access to learning and development programs, technical training, and opportunities to pursue relevant certifications.
Exposure to complex, high-impact engineering challenges across a global financial services platform.
Competitive compensation and benefits package, including financial wellbeing support.
