At InvestCloud, we build modern, scalable platforms used by some of the largest financial institutions in the US. We're looking for early-career talent—particularly graduates with strong analytical thinking and curiosity—who are ready to make an impact on real-world systems from day one.

In this role, you'll learn to develop in Dyalog APL, a unique and powerful language used to drive mission-critical investment processes like model management, trading, and reconciliation. You’ll join a team that values mentorship, continuous learning, and the creativity that mathematical thinkers bring to financial technology.

No prior software engineering experience required—just a strong foundation in mathematics, logic, or analytics, and a willingness to learn by doing.

• Learn to translate business and investment logic into clear, testable APL code
• Work with senior developers to understand functional requirements and deliver working solutions
• Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and quality assurance activities
• Help troubleshoot issues and contribute to solutions used in live investment environments
• Write documentation and assist with testing and deployment processes

Basic Qualifications for Consideration

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related analytical field
• Logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a love for working with patterns and structure
• Eagerness to learn programming (APL or otherwise), even if you haven’t done much before
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset—you enjoy learning from others and asking questions
• A strong work ethic and self-motivation—you’re excited to build software that matters

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Exposure to programming concepts in APL, MATLAB, Python, or similar languages
• Familiarity with data formats like CSV, XML, or JSON
• Understanding of investment workflows or the finance industry
• Experience working with relational databases like SQL or Oracle
