Project description
FX Cobra is a strategic, cloud-native FX Order Management System designed to modernize electronic FX trading and replace legacy order-management functionality.
The platform manages the end-to-end lifecycle of resting orders, including call, limit, take-profit, stop-loss, and barrier orders. It provides scalable order processing, client and system integration through APIs, real-time operational visibility, and greater workflow automation using event-driven microservices, Kafka, CQRS, Kubernetes, and automated CI/CD.
Responsibilities
- - Design, develop, and support scalable, highly available Java services for a cloud-native FX Order Management System.
- Own features from requirements analysis and technical design through implementation, production release, and support.
- Build event-driven services using Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, DDD, and CQRS.
- Design REST APIs, Avro event contracts, read models, and reliable asynchronous workflows.
- Deploy and operate containerized services on Microsoft Azure using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and GitLab CI/CD.
- Contribute to platform architecture, code reviews, documentation, and continuous technical improvement.
