This is a chance to work on modern cloud-based platforms, influence technical direction, and contribute to products with direct impact on the investment process.

Our team is modernizing legacy platforms and building the next generation of cloud-enabled applications used by Risk Analysts, Portfolio Managers, and Quants.

• Develop and enhance backend services and cloud-native applications using modern object-oriented languages, microservices patterns, and AWS or similar cloud technologies
• Take end-to-end ownership of applications and services, including development, support, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
• Contribute to architecture and design discussions, evaluate tradeoffs, identify risks, and help drive technical alignment
• Make thoughtful engineering decisions, incorporating feedback and adjusting solutions based on outcomes
• Partner with stakeholders and subject matter experts to understand business goals and translate them into effective technical solutions
• Apply modern engineering practices such as automated testing, code reviews, observability, CI/CD, and iterative delivery
• Identify and reduce technical debt while improving application design, data flows, and engineering processes
• Help ensure the consistency, reliability, and visibility of analytics and risk-related data across portfolio management and analytics platforms

Qualifications

Required:
