Who We Look For

Goldman Sachs Engineers are at the forefront of innovation, driving solutions as creative collaborators in a fast-paced global environment. We seek individuals who evolve, adapt, and thrive on challenging problems.

We are seeking a senior engineer who can lead at the frontier of cloud-native financial systems and AI-driven engineering - someone who is energized by hard problems, brings deep technical credibility, and wants to define what the next generation of platforms looks like.

Your Impact

  • Drive strategic transformation: Work alongside domain experts to understand existing production processes, challenge long-held assumptions that may no longer hold in a cloud-centric, AI-driven world, and define and deliver the requirements for efficient AI integration.
  • Multiply your output with AI: Orchestrate AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Gemini Code Assist) across all stages of the SDLC while maintaining mastery, quality, and production fitness over all AI-generated work product.
  • Deliver outsized business value: Position Goldman Sachs' trading business to handle orders-of-magnitude higher volumes at lower operational costs, directly contributing to the firm's competitive and commercial edge.
  • Build for the future: Design and implement high-availability, multi-region, event-driven services on a modern cloud-native platform, setting the architectural standard for years to come.

What You Will Do

  • Design, build, and operate high-availability, multi-region, cloud-native services with security and comprehensive observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) built in at every layer.
  • Develop event-driven architectures, multi-stage processing pipelines, and optimized data paths for high-throughput trade lifecycle management.
  • Partner with engineers, domain experts, and global stakeholders to understand, model, and digitize the firm's business processes, challenging entrenched practices and driving modernization across teams.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of software components, from requirements analysis through design, development, testing, and release, in line with robust SDLC and Agile best practices.
  • Innovate creative solutions to complex business and technical problems, building reusable capabilities that can be leveraged across Global Banking & Markets' front, middle, and back office functions.
  • Multiply your impact with a modern, AI-centric toolchain, orchestrating AI coding agents across all stages of the SDLC to rapidly comprehend large codebases, generate production-quality code, and accelerate delivery.

Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience in Java (Java 17+ preferred), with strong command of concurrency, collections, and modern language features
  • Demonstrated experience with AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, Devin, Gemini Code Assist), including the ability to govern AI agents, critically assess their output, and maintain quality over AI-generated work product.
  • Experience building event-driven and distributed systems, including familiarity with messaging platforms (e.g., Apache Kafka), delivery guarantees, and resilience strategies.
  • Strong SDLC practices: version control, CI/CD pipelines, automated build/test/deploy workflows, and code quality tooling.
  • Solid testing discipline: unit, integration, and acceptance testing with modern frameworks.
  • Ability to rapidly navigate, understand, and debug large and unfamiliar codebases - with and without AI assistance.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical audiences in geographically distributed teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with a meaningful subset of the following is highly valued:

  • Frameworks & Architecture: Spring Boot, gRPC / Protocol Buffers, integration/orchestration frameworks (e.g., Apache Camel, Spring Integration), and pipeline/adapter design patterns (retry, dead-letter queues, error isolation).
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and JVM tuning for containerized workloads.
  • Observability & Operations: Application instrumentation (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) and production support in high-availability environments.
  • Data & Performance: Data modeling, SQL/NoSQL databases, caching strategies, and performance optimization in latency-sensitive systems.
  • Security: Enterprise security patterns; authentication protocols, mutual TLS, secrets management, and certificate rotation.
  • Domain Knowledge: Equities, post-trade, or financial services experience; trade lifecycle concepts, asset servicing, position management, reconciliation, and multi-system migration environments.
  • Other: Asynchronous / non-blocking I/O frameworks (e.g., Vert.x, Netty), multi-region / BCP architectures, and open-source contribution experience.
