Our program was started as the migration of the Clearing and Settlement legacy mainframe system to a new technical, highly-scalable platform. The success of the program in both the migration and creation of a scalable platform led to it being selected as the strategic Clearing and Settlement platform for the bank. This has led to significant further investment for legacy system migrations and technical improvements. Currently we have teams across several locations (London, Kiev, Hong Kong, Sydney) on those projects.
Mature technical and process practices
In our daily work we follow the best Agile/Scrum values and practices. Our main goal is to produce high-quality technical solutions which meet expectations of our end users. We achieve it by working directly with business representatives, continuous focus on maximizing business value, monthly releases and 2-week Sprints, resulting to completed potentially shippable product increment.
Self-organized teams
Delivery is done by self-organized cross-functional feature teams; each of them consists of a Business Analyst and 5 developers who sit together in the same room and interact on a daily basis. Each team responsible for end-to-end, starting from high-level requirements clarification and finishing by release build preparation.
Ability to grow technically and professionally
We aim to hire the best people and give them maximum autonomy for realizing their potential and growing technically/professionally. Competence, collaboration and continuous improvement are highly supported on program level, to create a culture where each individual can grow in their desired direction. Also there is agreement with our customers about spending 10% of everybody's time for non-delivery activities (as a contribution to the greater good of the platform and department) - some people use it as opportunity for collective learning new technologies and practices (like Scala, Clean Code etc) in order to prove and adopt them on project level. Our working model provides opportunity for everybody to take part in making technical/architectural decisions.
Regular Business Trips
Regular business trips to London allow people to improve their English level, also create opportunities for knowledge sharing with high-skilled technical and business experts on customer side.
No Manual Testing
We don't hire manual testers in teams and we don't have manual testing as separate development stage. In daily work we automate as much as possible. We are disciplined when write code, follow pair-programming and TDD practices, use several levels of testing (unit, integration and functional). This allow us to keep quality at a high level, have frequent releases, get continuous feedback after each commit, reduce amount of bugs and don't have post-release support phase.
Technology Stack
Our key principle is regular evaluation of new technologies and adoption where a benefit can be shown. Currently we use Java, Spring, Hibernate, Drools, IBM MQ, Oracle, Groovy/Grails, GWT for development, Maven and Gradle as build tools. For writing automated tests we use JUnit, EasyB, Cucumber, Mockito/EasyMock. Also we have our own framework for functional testing which will be soon replaced by Concordion and JBehave. In future we plan to use GigaSpaces, HTLM5/JavaScript for GUI side and Scala.
