Job description

Position Summary

As a Associate in Product Engineering, you will be joining our newly established Product Engineering group. This is a senior individual contributor role that will play a critical part in designing and building the next‑generation technology platform supporting Oaktree’s credit business—one of the firm’s largest and most sophisticated investment strategies. Hands‑on engineering role: Work directly in the codebase, solving complex problems and building production‑grade systems daily; ideal for engineers who prefer building over managing. High ownership & autonomy: Collaborate with global stakeholders (primarily Los Angeles-based) while independently driving problem identification, solution design, execution, and communication. Full‑stack, data‑intensive development: Build applications that support credit investment workflows—spanning data pipelines, backend services, and user‑facing tools. Product‑focused engineering: Operate without traditional product managers; engage directly with business stakeholders, translate needs into technical solutions, and own delivery end‑to‑end. Modern cloud architecture: Contribute to an evolving Azure‑based platform, influencing scalable, reliable system design with practical, experience‑driven decisions. Applied generative AI: Leverage AI tools to improve engineering efficiency and enhance product capabilities in a practical, results‑driven way.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and deliver end‑to‑end platform components, including data pipelines, backend services, and user‑facing applications.


• Design and build scalable, reliable data systems (ingestion, transformation, analytics, APIs).


• Contribute to modernizing architecture and technology stack, influencing design decisions with strong technical judgment.


• Collaborate directly with business stakeholders and investment teams to understand workflows and translate them into impactful solutions.


• Act as a product owner for your domain—define scope, prioritize work, and iterate quickly based on business impact.


• Operate independently across time zones, proactively communicating progress, decisions, and risks.


• Apply generative AI thoughtfully to improve development efficiency and enable intelligent product features.


• Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical leadership.


• Implement modern engineering practices including CI/CD, testing, observability, and feature management.


• Drive data‑informed decision‑making using metrics, telemetry, and experimentation.


• Clearly communicate technical trade‑offs to both engineering and business audiences.

Qualifications

7+ years of software engineering experience with strong ownership of business‑critical, distributed production systems. Proven success as a Senior, Staff, or Principal Engineer designing and delivering complex enterprise, cloud‑native, and financial technology platforms. Expertise in C#, .NET Core/.NET 8+, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, REST APIs, gRPC, and modern backend development practices. Strong full‑stack development experience using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern UI frameworks to build scalable, responsive web applications. Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, object‑oriented design, distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization. Experience building data‑intensive applications, including data modeling, event‑driven architectures, ETL/data pipelines, and real‑time processing solutions. Proficiency in Python and at least one compiled language (e.g., C#, Java, Go, C++, Scala). Hands‑on experience designing microservices, API‑first architectures, domain‑driven design (DDD), and messaging platforms such as Azure Service Bus, Kafka, or RabbitMQ. Strong experience with Azure cloud services, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes/AKS), CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep), and cloud‑native architectures. Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases, including SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, and MongoDB, with a focus on performance and scalability. Experience driving engineering excellence through automated testing, TDD, observability, security, DevSecOps, and code quality best practices. Ability to work independently, drive technical strategy, and deliver solutions end‑to‑end while navigating ambiguity and partnering directly with business stakeholders. Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills, with a track record of influencing technical decisions and leading through expertise rather than authority. Demonstrated product mindset with the ability to connect technical solutions to customer value, business outcomes, and operational excellence.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required. Advanced degree (MS, MBA) or equivalent experience in product‑focused engineering leadership preferred.
