Role Expectations
Overall Experience & Ownership
  • Typically 5–8 years of hands-on full-stack development experience.
  • Works independently on complex features, with minimal day-to-day hand-holding.
  • Owns design and delivery of stories end-to-end, from refinement through production support.
  • Acts as a go-to engineer within the squad but is not yet an enterprise or architectural authority.
  • AI tool exposure like Kiro and Amazon Q is a plus but not required.


Frontend Development
  • Strong working experience with Angular or React.
  • Develops maintainable, modular UI components and integrates them with backend APIs.
  • Understands:
    • State management
    • Routing
    • Performance considerations
    • Error handling
  • Awareness of accessibility and usability standards expected in enterprise applications.
  • Any exposure to MFE (Micro Frontend) is a plus.


Backend Development (Strong Focus)
  • Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot.
  • Designs and implements production-grade REST APIs following standards.
  • Solid understanding of Microservices Architecture, including:
    • Service boundaries
    • Configuration management
    • Inter-service communication
    • Error handling and resiliency
  • Working experience with Kafka or equivalent messaging systems:
    • Producers/Consumers
    • Topic usage
    • Message versioning awareness
  • Applies logging, monitoring, and exception strategies suitable for regulated environments.


Database & SQL
Strong SQL proficiency, including:
  • Complex joins
  • Subqueries
  • Aggregations
  • Can diagnose and fix basic query or data-related performance issues.


Cloud, Platform & DevOps
Working knowledge of:
  • Docker
  • OpenShift / Kubernetes concepts
  • Understands CI/CD pipelines and can troubleshoot build or deployment failures.
  • Not responsible for platform strategy but expected to be platform-aware and self-sufficient.


Quality, Security & Compliance
  • Writes unit and component tests as part of normal development.
  • Participates in code reviews with a strong quality mindset.
  • Understands secure coding principles and follows DTCC security standards.
  • Aware of audit, compliance, and resilience expectations in a financial-services environment.


Interview & Hiring Expectations (Key Differentiator)
Candidates at this level must be able to demonstrate depth, not just familiarity.
Expected to:
  • Walk through real production projects they've worked on.
  • Explain design decisions, not just implementations.
  • Debug or reason through problems live using an IDE.
Interviews will assess:
  • Frontend integration scenarios
  • Practical coding and reasoning skills
  • Java & Spring Boot depth
  • SQL problem-solving
Screen sharing is mandatory, and answers should reflect hands-on experience, not memorized theory.

Collaboration & Leadership (Lightweight)
  • Supports junior engineers through guidance and code reviews.
  • Partners effectively with QA, DevOps, and product teams.
  • Communicates clearly with managers and stakeholders on technical risks and progress.
  • Does not formally lead teams but demonstrates informal technical leadership within the squad.


What a Senior Associate Is Not Expected to Do
  • Define enterprise-wide architecture.
  • Own cross-application platform strategy.
  • Lead major initiatives independently without senior oversight.
