About The Role

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy delivering client and industry driven solutions through our 5 core specialist Practices; Software Engineering, Data & Analytics, IT Operations, Change & Transformation, and Risk, Regulation & Compliance.

FDM is seeking a Dev Lead/Architect located in Montreal to support a project in the Capital Markets sector. Involvement in this project is anticipated to last initially 12 months but may be extended.

This role will be hybrid with requirements to be in office 3 days per week.

Our client, a leading Canadian bank, is establishing a new Prime Brokerage capability within its Capital Markets business.

This is a greenfield transformation initiative requiring experienced technology professionals to help design, build, integrate, and implement the platforms and processes needed to support the new business.

We are looking for Dev Lead/Architect with strong Capital Markets experience. Previous exposure to Prime Brokerage, Equity Finance, Stock Borrow/Lending, Total Return Swaps, Synthetic Trading, or Corporate Actions would be particularly valuable.

Successful candidates will work closely with Capital Markets technology, product, operations, and business stakeholders to help take the capability from concept and architecture through to implementation.

Responsibilities may include:

Define target-state architecture for the Prime Brokerage technology ecosystem.

Design integration between new Prime Brokerage services and existing Capital Markets platforms.

Define application, API, messaging, and data architecture.

Establish patterns for scalability, resilience, security, and high availability.

Make architectural decisions around Java services, caching, event-driven architectures, messaging, and real-time data processing.

Work closely with engineering teams to translate architecture into implementable designs.

Identify technical dependencies across trading, operations, risk, finance, reference data, and downstream platforms.

Establish engineering and architectural standards for the new platform.

We are looking for strong Java engineers with experience across:

Java 17/21, with Java 21 preferred

Spring Boot

GraphQL, ideally SPQR

WebSocket subscriptions

OAuth2 / JWT

GridGain / Apache Ignite

Solace or Kafka

IBM MQ

SQL Server

Flyway

JUnit

Mockito

Cucumber

Kubernetes

GitHub Actions

AI-Assisted Engineering

Experience using modern AI development tools is highly desirable, particularly:

Devin

Claude Code

AI-assisted software development workflows

Building reusable AI skills, workflows, or development agents

Building validators or automated quality controls around AI-generated code

Specialized Engineering Experience

Experience in one or more of the following would be a strong advantage:

GridGain / Ignite performance tuning

JVM optimization, including heap and garbage collection tuning

High-performance Java

Multithreading and concurrent programming

Low-latency or high-throughput application development

Solace administration or operations
