• Fully understand and faithfully follow established engineering processes.
• Support E*TRADE's commitment to audit and compliance. Basic - At least 3-5 years of software development experience.

Preferred

• Knowledge of J2EE and servlet-based web applications.
• Some experience with Tomcat and Linux.
• Familiarity with Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Git, and Maven; Gradle experience is a plus.

• Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, or Envoy Proxy/xDS-based service mesh architectures is a strong plus.
• Exposure to LDAP, Kerberos/SASL, OAuth2/OIDC, or Spring Security is valuable given our authentication/authorization services.
• Familiarity with Rust or WebAssembly (WASM) is a bonus, as the team builds custom proxy filters.
• Familiarity with agile SDLC is a significant bonus.
• Experience in the financial domain is a plus.
