## Engineer, Treasury & Cash ManagementApplylocations: Washington, DCtime type: Full timeposted on: Posted 11 Days Agojob requisition id: R-00119**Position Summary**The Engineer, Treasury & Cash Management Technology sits within Carlyle’s Treasury & Payments Technology team, reporting to the Treasury & Payments Lead, and contributes hands-on to the implementation, enhancement, and ongoing operation of the firm’s treasury management system (TMS). The team’s initial focus is the TMS rollout in support of Carlyle AlpInvest, going live this year. Over time, the platform is expected to expand to serve Carlyle’s Global Private Equity and Global Credit segments and the firm’s Corporate Treasury function making this a build-once, scale-many opportunity at the center of how the firm manages cash, liquidity, and payments. This is a hands-on engineering role at the center of Carlyle’s treasury technology stack: an engineer who partners directly with Treasury and Finance stakeholders, owns delivery and ongoing operation of the TMS platform they support, and is accountable for the outcomes the system produces accurate cash positioning, reliable payments, clean reporting. You will embed with Treasury, Finance, and operations partners supporting Carlyle AlpInvest and, over time, the broader investment segments and Corporate Treasury to translate treasury and cash management requirements into configured, integrated, well-tested software that goes into daily use. You will own the TMS implementation work in flight and the enhancements and integrations that follow: bank connectivity, accounting and custodian feeds, cash positioning and forecasting, payment workflows, and the reporting that the business runs on. You will work with leading commercial TMS platforms (Hazeltree, Kyriba, GTreasury, or comparable) and the surrounding integration and data tooling required to make them work end to end. You will collaborate closely with Finance stakeholders, end users, and offshore engineering and operations partners communicating clearly, setting expectations, and earning trust across a distributed team. What Success Looks Like In the first 12 months, you will have helped take the AlpInvest TMS live and through its first cycles of daily use, owned the integrations and enhancements that turn the platform into a reliable part of how Treasury operates, and earned trust as the go-to engineer for the Finance and Treasury stakeholders who depend on the system. Your work will be visible at senior levels of the firm.

You start by shipping, measure progress in working software not slides, and can turn a vague business problem into a working prototype in a week.* Customer obsession. You sit with users, reimagine workflows alongside them, and ship solutions that are functional in the real world rather than theoretical on a slide.* Systems thinking. You can hold the end-to-end treasury workflow in your head from bank statement to ledger entry and reason about how a configuration or integration change ripples through the system.* Operational rigor. You think about controls, reconciliations, exception handling, and auditability as you build not as an afterthought and you know that in treasury, a quiet system that runs cleanly every day is worth more than a flashy one that surprises you on the wrong day.* Strong collaborator. You work well with business stakeholders and engineering peers, ask the right questions, communicate trade-offs clearly, and bring people along on the choices you make.* Project discipline. You can run a workstream end to end without a PMO holding your hand break work into milestones, track dependencies, surface risks early, drive status with stakeholders, and bring things in on time.* Curious and self-directed. You look beyond assigned tasks to spot improvements, suggest alternatives, and contribute to how the team builds.* Vendor management. You hold software vendors and implementation partners to their commitments reading the roadmap, opening the right tickets, escalating when needed, and getting the most out of the platform without becoming dependent on the vendor for every change.* Pride in the work. You want to own a critical system that real people depend on every day, do the work well, and see the platform you build scale across the firm.**Benefits/Compensation** The compensation range for this role is specific to Washington, DC, and takes into account a wide range of factors including but not limited to the skill sets required/preferred; prior experience and training; licenses and/or certifications.
