Job Description:
Senior Software Developer – Funds Transfer Management (FTM) | Banking Payments
Core Requirements (Must-Have)
FTM / Payments Platform Experience
- Hands-on experience delivering and supporting solutions on IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) in a banking/payments context, including transaction processing and integration patterns.
- Experience with FTM for Check Services (FTM4C) and/or adjacent payment domains (e.g., high-value payments, check processing).
- Ability to work with complex enterprise integration environments (multiple internal/external systems, diverse formats, many-to-many connections).
- Understanding of transaction traceability, auditability, reliability, scalability, and security expectations in financial systems.
Programming Languages (pick based on stack; Java is common in FTM ecosystems)
- Strong development background in Java/J2EE (commonly paired with FTM implementations), including enterprise application development and integration work.
- Experience with COBOL (or legacy mainframe languages) in banking environments is valued, especially where payment flows touch legacy cores. (Suggested—common in banks; include if applicable to your client’s stack.)
- Experience with XML (frequently used in FTM-related development/customization contexts).
Integration / Middleware / App Platform
- Experience building and supporting service-oriented / integration solutions (e.g., SOA, API integrations, transaction workflows).
- Familiarity with IBM App Connect artifacts and how FTM solutions are composed/deployed across platform components
- Working knowledge of WebSphere Application Server (WAS), IBM MQ, and typical enterprise messaging patterns used in bank integration stacks.
- Experience with enterprise databases commonly used in these environments, especially DB2 (plus other RDBMS exposure).
- Comfort working in Unix/Linux environments and scripting in support of batch/integration workloads.
Delivery & Support (Bank-grade expectations)
- Proven experience across SDLC in regulated environments: build, test, deploy, monitor, and production support (L2/L3) for mission-critical payment systems.
- Ability to troubleshoot asynchronous transaction flows and multi-system issues where progress tracking across interactions matters.
