The Company You’ll Join

The Team You'll Work With

The KYC (Know Your Customer) team is building the compliance infrastructure that powers every transaction in private markets, from Limited Partner (LP) onboarding to tender offers to transaction-level screening for Private Equity (PE). Across the company's fund administration, the company Law, and LP KYC-as-a-service offerings, the team screens over 1.5 million entities per year, making it one of the highest-volume compliance operations in the space. Right now, the team is in a pivotal moment: re-architecting a fragmented set of products into a unified KYC platform, part greenfield build, part strategic integration, where your judgment will directly shape the outcome. You'll join a small, senior team that blends startup-style execution with the rigor required to ship to production at scale.

The Problems You'll Solve

As a Senior Software Engineer II, KYC, you will lead technically complex projects and serve as a multiplier for your team. You’ll work to:

• Drive Implementation: Lead the execution of complex technical projects, driving them from concept to production while maintaining high standards for performance and reliability.

• Simplify Systems: Dig deep into our architecture to identify opportunities to simplify code and infrastructure, prioritizing changes that have a measurable business impact.

• Leverage Modern Tooling: Use the best AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate your workflow, improve code quality, and spend more of your time solving the high-level logic and unconventional problems

• Foster Growth: Act as a mentor and coach, raising the technical bar for your peers through diligent PR reviews and architectural guidance.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with product and design to ensure we are building the *right* solution for the user, not just following a specification.

About You

• The Tech Stack: You have experience with (or a desire to learn) our core technologies: Python, Django, React, Postgres, and Kafka. We also utilize Java, gRPC, and AWS.

• Execution: You can break down complex user stories into actionable tasks and execute them with minimal guidance.

• Strategic Mindset: You understand the "why" behind your code and can articulate technical trade-offs to stakeholders.

• Experience: We recommend 8+ years of professional software engineering experience for this level.
