Job description

Senior Architect, Full Stack Developer – Principal

Location

New York, NY (Onsite)

Salary

$200,000 - $370,000 per year

Job Description

Awesome team, high-impact role, and strong compensation structure. Total comp can go up to ~$370,000 (~$200K base / $170K bonus) for an ideal candidate with ~10–12 years of experience.

This is a highly specialized role, not a run-of-the-mill .NET position. The ideal candidate will bring experience from a smaller hedge fund or similar front-office financial services environment. Candidates from large investment banks can work, but profiles with hands‑on ownership and less rigid hierarchy tend to align best.

Team & Environment

• Front-office role sitting between investments and technology
• High-performing team of 6 (plus offshore support)
• Growth hire due to team expansion
• Strong culture: collaborative, down-to‑earth, high‑caliber individuals
• Emphasis on curiosity, humility, and ownership
• Excellent work-life balance and benefits
• Career growth is primarily horizontal (technical depth) rather than management track

Role Overview

Full-stack development role focused on building and supporting critical front-office applications used by investment teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and build end-to-end solutions (front-end, back-end, deployment)
• Enhance analytics and reporting platforms for loan-based assets
• Develop and support internal and external reporting systems
• Collaborate closely with business users to automate workflows
• Optimize data pipelines and API integrations
• Manage production releases and provide ongoing support
• Support risk reporting and trading desk workflows

Technical Stack

• .NET / C# (core backend)
• Angular (preferred frontend leaning)
• Python (for data-intensive workflows)
• SQL, data modeling, and performance tuning
• Azure, Docker, CI/CD, Git

Required Experience

• ~7–12 years of experience (flexible for strong candidates with 5+ years)
• Strong full-stack development experience
• Experience in financial services (hedge fund, private equity, or banking)
• Exposure to fixed income / structured credit highly preferred
• Experience working with front-office or trading teams

Preferred Domain Experience

• Fixed income, structured credit, or loan-based asset classes
• Familiarity with tools/datasets such as Bloomberg, Intex, CoreLogic, etc.
• Understanding of RMBS, CMBS, ABS, or similar products

Interview Process

• Video interview with hiring manager
• Two technical interviews with the team
• Final onsite interview

Key Takeaways

• Highly technical, high-impact front-office role
• Strong comp upside into high $300Ks for the right candidate
• Best fit: hands‑on engineers from lean, fast‑moving financial environments
• Not a management‑track role — focused on deep engineering excellence
