The job:
Help us develop our on-demand applications for financial markets. You must have significant commercial coding experience (see below).

What we do:
* We develop and operate web-based applications using mostly open-source technology for top-tier brokers, investment managers, and the alternative investment sector. Our current applications include the Trade Idea Monitor and the Hedge Fund Information Provider.
* Our applications are dynamic and mathematically complex. They need to be ultra-secure and high-speed, and yet easily accessible to our global client base.

How we do it:
* We use and contribute to open source technologies such as Hudson, Apache Tomcat, Hibernate, and MySQL.
* We use agile development techniques and tools such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration, adapting these to our needs as necessary at regularly held retrospectives involving developers, operators, support staff, and senior product owners. We are committed to ongoing training during weekly video showings and regularly scheduled coding dojos (see http://www.codingdojo.org/).
* Our developers work interactively with our customers and with our internal business analysts.
* We have an active research programme focussed on improving and expanding our core technology. Developers share ideas at weekly lightning-talk sessions.
* We expect our developers to develop rapidly, deploy new code regularly, test constantly, and help us to continuously improve our development processes.
* See our blog at https://dev.youdevise.com for more.

What you do:
* Complete new features and bug fixes to schedule. This includes design and unit testing of each new feature or change.
* Participate in, and eventually lead, architectural design activities (choosing tools, selecting design patterns, refactoring).

Who you work with:
We keep our development teams small. You will work in a fast-paced industry with customers who will challenge you. You will work with colleagues who will impress you and help you.

What we pay you:
The remuneration for this role depends on your ability and level of experience. We offer a broad range of benefits to all employees including private healthcare, pension plan, and a bonus representing a profit share distributed to all staff.

Where we are:
The centre of London, England. If you have the right to work here, that's best for all concerned; but we are willing to sponsor work-permit applications for outstanding applicants who are not EU citizens. The job will be located at our City offices, near several stations and underground stations including Liverpool Street, Bank, and Moorgate.

About us:
All staff at YouDevise are team players who excel in their preferred discipline. We have few pure coders; almost everyone has some combination of project management, sales, business, and financial skills as well as technical ability.

Your experience:
You _must_ have at least three years' commercial coding experience, in any domain. Knowledge of the Java programming language is a strong advantage, but we will consider developers who demonstrate exceptional talent in other languages. An interest in finance helps!
