We’re seeking a highly skilled Senior Developer to join the cross-cutting Enterprise Architecture team within ICE’s Fixed Income and Data Services (FIDS) division.

This role sits at the intersection of architecture, developer experience, and platform engineering — helping to define, build, and scale frameworks and systems that power development across our business units. You’ll work on initiatives that span teams and technologies: integrating observability frameworks like OpenTelemetry across hundreds of applications, building internal AI and MCP proof-of-concepts, and maintaining our declarative YAML-based data pipeline framework that simplifies Airflow and infrastructure complexity for thousands of workflows. This is a great opportunity to influence the core of how hundreds of engineers at ICE build and deliver software. You’ll be part of a small, senior, and highly visible team focused on accelerating innovation, improving reliability, and setting the standard for development excellence across our products and data platforms.

This position is ideal for a polyglot engineer who is comfortable designing distributed systems, building automation and tooling, and enabling other developers to deliver faster, safer, and smarter.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain reusable frameworks and developer tools that streamline application and data pipeline development across teams

Collaborate with architects and engineering leads to define patterns, conventions, and best practices for observability, data lineage, and platform telemetry

Lead proof-of-concepts (POCs) for emerging technologies such as LLM integration via MCP, automated test frameworks, and developer productivity tooling

Partner with application teams to instrument distributed systems and ensure scalability, reliability, and traceability in production

Contribute to CI/CD automation, developer workflow improvements, and self-service capabilities that reduce friction in delivery pipelines

Advocate for developer experience (DevEx), simplifying complex processes through automation, documentation, and developer-friendly abstractions

Mentor junior developers and collaborate across multiple business units on cross-functional projects

Knowledge and Experience

6+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 2 years working on platform or framework-level initiatives

Expertise in at least two major programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, TypeScript, or Go), with proficiency across the stack

Experience building and operating distributed systems at enterprise scale

Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or similar observability frameworks

Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code principles

Experience developing developer tools, SDKs, or internal frameworks used by other teams

Ability to debug complex production issues across layers of the stack

Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration skills

Preferred Knowledge and Experience

Prior experience building internal developer platforms or frameworks (“paved roads”)

Experience with declarative data-pipeline frameworks

Familiarity with AI/LLM integrations, plugin architectures, or agentic workflows

Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to debug, develop unit tests and generate test cases from requirements documents

Exposure to IaC, Containerization and Continuous Delivery technologies

Familiarity with OLAP databases and technologies at petabyte scale

Strong understanding of software observability, metrics collection, and data lineage

Contributions to open-source or internal developer tooling projects
