The JD states '5–8 years of experience in trading system development' and '5+ years hands-on enterprise Java development (Java 11–17)' — the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the minimum of the range).
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics) is stated as a hard gate under the Qualifications section with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
All Preferred Skills (Spring Boot, Spring Boot Actuator, Apache Camel, JMS/ActiveMQ, REST APIs, MS SQL Server/Sybase, electronic trading workflow knowledge) appear under an explicit 'Preferred Skills' heading.
The role is hybrid with at least 4 days onsite per week in NYC; it is not remote.
