VP Engineering (Java) - Greenfield Trading Platform - J12854

About the Client: Our client is an elite, enterprise-grade financial institution operating at the absolute core of the Asian capital markets. They are launching a highly confidential, greenfield technology initiative to build a brand-new product line within the FICC and Derivatives space. This is an environment that marries the vast financial backing and stability of a top-tier market player with the aggressive, "build-from-scratch" engineering culture of a startup.

The Role & Landscape: This is a Junior VP-level, "player-coach" role. You will not be purely managing from the sidelines; you will be deep in the code while providing tactical leadership to a focused squad of engineers.

• Greenfield Engineering: Lead the technical design and hands-on development of a brand-new, highly resilient trading platform for FICC and Interest Rate derivatives.

• Full-Stack Ownership: Drive backend development utilizing modern Java and Kubernetes, while also overseeing web-based front-end integration.

• System Resilience: Architect systems where extreme resilience, stability, and high availability are prioritized from day one to support future high-volume scaling.

• Stakeholder Partnership: Partner closely with highly tenured, senior technology leadership to ensure the new product aligns with rigorous enterprise standards.

What We Are Looking For:

• Technical Pedigree: Exceptional, hands-on background in Java and Kubernetes, coupled with practical knowledge of web-based front-end development.

• Domain Expertise: Proven experience in enterprise systems trading environments, with strong business knowledge of FICC, Interest Rates, or OTC Derivatives.

• Leadership: Prior experience successfully leading, mentoring, and delivering through a small, high-performing agile team.

• Cultural Resilience: You must thrive in a fast-paced, demanding, and highly accountable corporate culture. We are looking for highly committed technologists who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure a flawless product launch.

Why Apply To This Role: Opportunities to build mission-critical trading systems entirely from scratch within a premier enterprise firm are exceptionally rare. You will bypass legacy technical debt and make critical architectural decisions on day one. If you are an ambitious technical leader looking to stamp your name on a flagship, highly visible market product—while securing a fast-track trajectory within an industry titan—this is your platform.
