You’ll be joining a team of engineers with a wide range of experiences and expertise who value collaboration, curiosity, and transparency all working together to build better systems for our clients.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our platform and our clients. Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of the full development cycle, from design to deployment

• Working directly with product owners to build out systems that solve complex business problems

• Designing, developing, and releasing high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code

• Adapting and introducing modern technologies to drive innovation and contribute to our system evolution

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional experience programming in a production environment using an object-oriented programming language (e.g., C++, Python, Java)

• Experience covering the full software development life cycle, including technical design, implementation, and support

• Strong knowledge of data structures and understanding of algorithms, scalable software design, and architecture

• Curiosity for understanding complex financial products and learning new technologies

• A collaborative attitude, eager to work across team and department boundaries

Nice to Have
