Job description

Company Overview

Chevy Chase Trust is a privately owned investment think tank offering independent and highly personalized financial advice and planning for individuals, families, and institutions. Located just outside of Washington D.C., the firm specializes in unique thematic investment research and asset management. Chevy Chase Trust offers clients direct access to decision-makers and is built to put clients and client success over everything else. From thematic investment management to estate and financial planning, we show our commitment to inventive thinking and client service.

Company Overview

Our global, macroeconomic outlook means we do much more than observe and follow trends. Instead, we seek out ideas. It takes more than one kind of person to contribute to this culture. It takes all kinds of people thinking in unconventional ways—with a singular focus.

Job Purpose/Summary

Beyond the technical checklist, looking for someone who writes production quality code as a habit, code a teammate can pick up, debug, and extend without archaeology. Our CRM is custom built rather than an off-the-shelf platform, this role requires real software engineering skill, not just configuration experience. The ability to read, extend, and refactor an existing codebase matters as much as writing new features. Strong communication with non-technical stakeholders and a track record of taking ownership of problems through to resolution matter as much as the technical skill set.
