We are looking for a highly experienced back-end/middle-tier engineer, comfortable working across a range of technologies (Java, AWS, Oracle). You will be part of a friendly 8-person engineering team passionate about modernizing our compensation platform!

Responsibilities include:

  • Hands-on development & expertise across middle-tier (Java micro-services), back-end (Oracle/Informatica) and cloud (AWS)
  • Platform and production support across the e2e SSC platform
  • Helping to craft and implement the SSC platform modernization strategy
  • Mentoring and assisting other engineers on the squad and wider SS&C team

The Expertise and Skills You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent (or compensating work experience for those without a traditional comp-sci related degree)
  • 5+ years hands-on experience as a software engineer
  • Proven experience as a senior engineer responsible for implementing sophisticated solutions
  • Proficient in Java and experienced in developing APIs and micro-services
  • Experience working with data and databases, ideally Oracle PL SQL
  • Ability to trouble-shoot complex data issues across the e2e technology stack
  • Either hands-on AWS experience or demonstrated desire to build cloud experience (e.g. certifications, training)
  • Understanding of modern data architecture principals and patterns
  • Experience of moving from a monolithic to a distributed/micro-service architecture
  • CI/CD & container experience: Jenkins, Udeploy, Docker
  • Rules development using Drools, IBM ODM, or equivalent
  • Data streaming using Kafka or similar
  • Experience with variable compensation systems and domain

The Team

The SS&C team builds and runs the Incentive Compensation Management Platform (ICMP) for Fidelity’s Personal Investing (PI) group. We directly support nearly 20k PI associates, ensuring that variable compensation is correctly calculated, paid, & reported.

Our team is comprised of technology squads based in North Carolina, New Hampshire, & Bangalore. Our platform consists of multiple back-end internal capabilities integrated with CallidusCloud for compensation & reporting.

COVID Work Policy

Safety is our top priority. Once we can be together in person with fewer safety measures, this role will follow our dynamic working approach. You’ll be spending some of your time onsite depending on the nature and needs of your role.

Dynamic Working – Post Pandemic

Our aim is to combine the best of working offsite with coming together in person. For most teams this means a consistent balance of working from home and office that supports the needs of your role, experience level, and working style.
