Job Description

Overview
Insight Global is seeking a lead Java developer in Toronto for a Canadian Tier 1 Bank, working on its Rates Derivative Pricing System. You will be the primary point of contact for traders, Quants, and support partners across North America and APAC, and will lead development projects that expand the system's capabilities to support the Capital Markets Macro trading business.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role — you'll be writing production code daily while setting the technical direction for the work. It is not a people-management position; there are no direct reports. Leadership here means owning architecture and technical decisions, not line management.

This is also a front-office-facing role at the intersection of finance and technology — you'll need the technical depth to build low-latency systems and the capital markets fluency to work directly with the trading desk.

Responsibilities
• Remain hands-on, contributing production code while leading the technical direction of the work
• Partner with stakeholders to gather and define requirements
• Design and implement solutions optimised for performance, supportability, reusability, and reliability
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle
• Deliver to deadlines within a fast-moving release cycle
• Resolve production issues and recommend system improvements
• Advise traders, Quants, support partners, and fellow team members
