Sr. Java Engineer (Low Latency) (Lac-Brome)

This client is seeking a senior Java engineer to design and build distributed, high-throughput systems that process real-time data under strict low-latency requirements.

About the Role

You'll be working on performance-critical infrastructure where milliseconds matter, contributing to systems that handle large volumes of streaming market data.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and optimize distributed, high-throughput Java applications for real-time data processes
• Engineer systems to meet demanding low-latency and performance targets
• Develop and maintain scalable, fault-tolerant services that handle high-volume data streams
• Profile, tune and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks across the stack
• Collaborate with trading, quant, and infrastructure teams to deliver reliable production systems

Qualifications

• Robust, hands-on experience designing and building distributed, high-throughput Java systems
• Proven track record with real-time data processing and low-latency engineers
• Deep understanding of concurrency, multithreading, and JVM performance tuning
• Experience with high-volume, scalable, fault-tolerant architectures
• Solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and system design

Required Skills

• Background in trading, financial markets, or other latency-sensitive domain
• Experience with messaging/streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, Aeron, Chronicle) and in-memory data grids

Contract, 6 months to start with long-term potential. Remote with some U.S. travel.
