Tasks

Task One: Project Setup

30-60 minsIntermediate

Set up your local development environment and get acquainted with the project codebase

What you'll learn

How Software Engineers build and configure backend systems used to process high-volume financial transactions.
How to set up a Java development environment using Java 17, Spring Boot, Maven, and an IDE that supports enterprise projects.
How to work with engineering requirements and prepare a project scaffold for future integration tasks.

What you'll do

Set up your local development environment by installing Java 17, forking and cloning the project repository, and opening it in your IDE.
Explore the existing project scaffold to understand how the Midas Core service is structured.
Add the required dependencies to your Spring Boot project and update configuration files.
Build and run the project, then verify your setup by running automated tests.

Reviews

4.6

I really enjoyed how hands-on this simulation was — building out Kafka producers/consumers, wiring up an H2 database, and exposing a REST API gave a realistic feel for backend engineering work at JPMorgan Chase. The progressive structure (each task building on the last) made it easy to see how the pieces fit together in a real system.

I really enjoyed the hands-on nature of the simulation. It gave me practical experience with Kafka, Spring Boot, H2, JPA, REST APIs, database integration, and debugging a transaction-processing system. The progressive tasks helped me understand how different backend components work together in a real-world financial technology environment.

I appreciated how the program provided a realistic simulation of JPMorgan Chase’s work environment. The interactive exercises helped me understand key concepts and decision-making processes in a hands-on way. It was engaging and gave me valuable insight into the skills and tasks relevant to the role.
