Overview

Job Purpose

We’re seeking a highly skilled Senior Developer to join the cross-cutting Enterprise Architecture team within ICE’s Fixed Income and Data Services (FIDS) division.

This role sits at the intersection of architecture, developer experience, and platform engineering — helping to define, build, and scale frameworks and systems that power development across our business units. You’ll work on initiatives that span teams and technologies: integrating observability frameworks like OpenTelemetry across hundreds of applications, building internal AI and MCP proof-of-concepts, and maintaining our declarative YAML-based data pipeline framework that simplifies Airflow and infrastructure complexity for thousands of workflows. This is a great opportunity to influence the core of how hundreds of engineers at ICE build and deliver software. You’ll be part of a small, senior, and highly visible team focused on accelerating innovation, improving reliability, and setting the standard for development excellence across our products and data platforms.

This position is ideal for a polyglot engineer who is comfortable designing distributed systems, building automation and tooling, and enabling other developers to deliver faster, safer, and smarter.

Responsibilities

+ Design, develop, and maintain reusable frameworks and developer tools that streamline application and data pipeline development across teams

+ Collaborate with architects and engineering leads to define patterns, conventions, and best practices for observability, data lineage, and platform telemetry

+ Lead proof-of-concepts (POCs) for emerging technologies such as LLM integration via MCP, automated test frameworks, and developer productivity tooling

+ Partner with application teams to instrument distributed systems and ensure scalability, reliability, and traceability in production

+ Contribute to CI/CD automation, developer workflow improvements, and self-service capabilities that reduce friction in delivery pipelines

+ Advocate for developer experience (DevEx), simplifying complex processes through automation, documentation, and developer-friendly abstractions

+ Mentor junior developers and collaborate across multiple business units on cross-functional projects

Knowledge and Experience

+ 6+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 2 years working on platform or framework-level initiatives

+ Expertise in at least two major programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, TypeScript, or Go), with proficiency across the stack

+ Experience building and operating distributed systems at enterprise scale

+ Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or similar observability frameworks

+ Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code principles

+ Experience developing developer tools, SDKs, or internal frameworks used by other teams

+ Ability to debug complex production issues across layers of the stack

+ Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration skills

Preferred Knowledge and Experience

+ Prior experience building internal developer platforms or frameworks (“paved roads”)

+ Experience with declarative data-pipeline frameworks

+ Familiarity with AI/LLM integrations, plugin architectures, or agentic workflows

+ Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to debug, develop unit tests and generate test cases from requirements documents

+ Exposure to IaC, Containerization and Continuous Delivery technologies

+ Familiarity with OLAP databases and technologies at petabyte scale

+ Strong understanding of software observability, metrics collection, and data lineage

+ Contributions to open-source or internal developer tooling projects
