About project
We’re looking for an experienced Java engineer who will build and maintain systems that populate large amounts of data in kdb+ databases.
- Sr. Java backend engineer, with 2+ years of experience working with kdb+.
- Fully remote for Canadian Bank, from Poland.
- 35,000-41,000 zł per month, B2B.
- Part of the core team (not legacy or outsourced team B) working on large scale equity trading systems.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of the core world-class team of developers in North America and Europe who are building equity trading systems (not legacy, bug fixing, maintenance or outsourced team B)
- Enjoy a long-term, fully remote role with flexible hours after onboarding.
- Greenfield project to build new data storage systems.
- Core Java (Java 17 & 21) with minimal external dependencies.
- Work on a large-scale, low-latency trading system processing millions of daily transactions.
This is a fully remote role for a developer based in Poland. You will be working directly with the team at Bank of Montreal, through a Polish company that will provide the support and administrative assistance to make you successful in the role. We are looking for people to join the team long-term.
To ensure efficient onboarding, you’ll work in sync with the American team during US Eastern business hours for the first two months. Working this way maximizes your time overlap for answering questions, which means you can learn quickly. That means working until 21:00 CET. After that, your schedule will shift to more normal Polish business hours.
Only open to residents of Poland. Polish citizens, as well as legal residents with permission to work in Poland are welcome.
What we offer
- Work that matters in the financial domain: Work on a live trading system at an established financial institution, processing millions of transactions daily.
- Professional growth: Collaborate with smart, highly capable developers in a supportive and challenging environment.
- Direct collaboration: You will work directly with the Bank of Montreal team in North America and in Poland.
- 1st-tier work: This is not a technical support or legacy maintenance role. The system is functional and is actively being built and you will take part in updating it. The people who built the system are still part of the team.
- Long-term commitment: This is not a fixed-scope or fixed-term outsourcing role; we value people who want to grow and contribute long-term.
- Flexibility & remote work: Fully remote position based in Poland with increasing schedule flexibility post-onboarding.
- Competitive Compensation: Above-average pay and ample time-off options.
