Dan Gallagher’s Blog on IT Careers in Investment Banking

Right then, I have a project here that should be of interest to a lot of Java developers who enjoy using the latest technologies. The architecture of the system is based on a Java Eclipse RCP client running on the desktop, but it also uses Spring and Tomcat as well as the Microsoft .net framework. This team facilitates the structuring and modeling which the traders undertake on a day to day basis. As a result it is a high visibility project to the head traders and is seen as a key project for 2007. They also use Excel VBA in this team which is now undergoing a C# makeover to allow the sheets to communicate between different applications.   

To be considered for this role you will need to have experience of building complex multi-tier enterprise applications and frameworks with XML, messaging and workflow. Knowledge of Eclipse is a given however any strong Java front end experience will be considered (ie Swing).
