Applications Development Senior Analyst - Assistant Vice President

The Applications Development Senior Programmer Analyst is an intermediate-to-senior level role responsible for leading and participating in the architecture, design, and full-lifecycle development of robust, scalable full-stack applications. This role focuses on modern distributed systems engineering using Java/Spring Boot microservices , React.js frontends , relational ( Oracle/SQL ) and document ( MongoDB ) databases, and containerized deployments across modern cloud environments ( Docker, Kubernetes, ECS ). Additionally, the role requires working familiarity with Generative AI (GenAI) integrations to drive intelligent workflow automation, smart assistants, and next-generation engineering productivity. Key Responsibilities Full-Stack Architecture & Development - Backend & Microservices: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, resilient microservices and RESTful APIs using Java (8/11/17+) , Spring Boot , and modern enterprise integration patterns. - Frontend Engineering: Build responsive, accessible, and intuitive single-page applications (SPAs) and user interfaces using React.js , TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern state management libraries (Redux, Context API). - Database Design & Management: Model, optimize, and manage both relational databases ( Oracle / SQL ) and NoSQL document stores ( MongoDB ), ensuring optimal query performance, indexing strategies, and data consistency. - Generative AI Integration: Implement basic to intermediate GenAI capabilities (e.g., LLM API integrations, prompt design, RAG patterns, embeddings, and intelligent agents) into existing workflows and business applications. Cloud & Containerized DevOps - Containerization & Orchestration: Package, deploy, and manage containerized workloads using Docker , Kubernetes , and container platforms such as Amazon ECS / OpenShift / Enterprise Cloud Services . - CI/CD & Automation: Integrate code into automated CI/CD build and release pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Tekton, Harness), enforcing code quality, automated testing, and security scanning. Systems Analysis, Design & Leadership - Conduct feasibility studies, technical assessments, time/cost estimates, and IT planning to deliver technology solutions aligned with business strategy. - Monitor and govern all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including requirements analysis, system architecture, coding, unit/integration testing, and production rollout. - Recommend and implement robust application security standards, role-based access controls (RBAC), and vulnerability remediations throughout the application lifecycle. - Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and mentor junior engineers, fostering engineering best practices, code reviews, and technical documentation. - Operate with high independence of judgment, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, product managers, and enterprise architecture teams. - Proactively manage and assess risk, adhering strictly to firm policies, regulatory compliance, and governance frameworks. Professional Experience - 8-12 years of professional software development experience in full-stack engineering and distributed systems. - Proven track record of designing, building, and deploying enterprise-grade Spring Boot microservices and React.js web applications. - Strong hands-on experience in containerized deployments using Docker , Kubernetes , or ECS . - Demonstrated ability to analyze complex architectural and business problems and deliver scalable solutions. - Strong communication, analytical thinking, and stakeholder management skills. - Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment. Education - Bachelor’s degree / University degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. ------------------------------------------------------ Job Family Group: Technology ------------------------------------------------------ Job Family: Applications Development ------------------------------------------------------ Time Type: Full time ------------------------------------------------------ Most Relevant Skills Please see the requirements listed above. ------------------------------------------------------ Other Relevant Skills For complementary skills, please see above and/or contact the recruiter. ------------------------------------------------------ Citi is an equal opportunity employer, and qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, status as a protected veteran, or any other characteristic protected by law.
