Citi is seeking an experienced Java developer to support trading and securities-lending technology in Hong Kong. The role typically requires strong Java and object-oriented programming skills, experience with Spring, SQL, messaging systems, distributed applications, and software development across the full delivery lifecycle. Knowledge of financial markets, securities lending, trading workflows, or post-trade processing is highly desirable. The successful candidate is expected to design reliable, scalable solutions, troubleshoot complex production issues, work closely with traders, operations, and global technology teams, and follow rigorous security, testing, risk-management, and regulatory standards. A Vice President should demonstrate technical leadership, sound judgment, clear communication, and the ability to mentor colleagues while delivering projects in a demanding, time-sensitive environment.
Citi, formally Citigroup Inc., is a major global financial institution headquartered in New York, with operations across banking, capital markets, securities services, wealth management, and institutional finance. Its Institutional Clients Group supports corporations, governments, investors, and financial institutions through trading, lending, treasury, custody, and transaction services. Citi maintains a substantial presence in Hong Kong, a key hub for its Asia-Pacific businesses. Technology is central to the bank’s operations, supporting electronic trading, risk management, payments, securities services, and regulatory controls. The company employs professionals from many nationalities and commonly operates through globally distributed teams. Roles at Vice President level generally combine hands-on expertise with project ownership, stakeholder management, and informal technical leadership. Compensation often includes a base salary, performance-related bonus, medical coverage, retirement benefits, and other employee programs, although details vary by position and experience.
Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in banking technology, trading systems, fintech, cybersecurity, data, compliance, and professional services. Its financial district, including Central, Admiralty, and Kowloon, hosts international banks, securities firms, asset managers, and technology companies. The culture is fast-paced and internationally minded, blending Cantonese traditions with global business practices; English is widely used in professional settings, while Cantonese is valuable for daily life. Housing is expensive, but public transport is exceptionally efficient, and many residents live in Kowloon or the New Territories for better value. Beaches, hiking trails, islands, restaurants, and a lively arts scene provide a good balance to demanding work. Skilled professionals commonly apply for an employment visa sponsored by the hiring company, with qualifications and salary assessed by immigration authorities. Relocating candidates should budget for rent, deposits, healthcare, schooling if relevant, and moving expenses. Hong Kong is well connected to the wider Asia-Pacific region.
