Job description

Our Company

Arch is a Series B financial technology company that automates the management of private investments, improving access, understanding, and the human experience of investing across asset classes.

Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch.

Arch delivers standardized data, documents, and insights in a single platform, avoiding the need to chase information across dozens or hundreds of ‘portals’. Our purpose is to save investors’ time while empowering them to make more informed investment decisions, leading to better financial outcomes.

We are a fast-growing, dynamic team of 200+, serving over 400 clients, including several of America’s largest banks, families, and financial institutions. We’ve over doubled the size of the company every year since inception and we are looking to hire in all departments as we scale.

The Role:

As a Software Engineer, you'll help develop and scale core components of our platform. This is an important role - your contributions will directly enable technology that could power trillions in investments and drive meaningful impact for our clients. You'll collaborate closely with fellow engineers, product managers, and other team members to deliver solutions that make a difference in our clients' investment processes.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Work with cross-functional teams - product, design, operations, and infrastructure - to build and improve application features.
• Contribute to both user-facing interfaces and backend services using modern frameworks and technologies.
• Write clean, testable, and reliable code, and participate in code reviews to learn best practices from peers and senior engineers.
• Help design and implement systems that are scalable and maintainable across the stack, including APIs that connect frontend and backend systems.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the stack - frontend, APIs, and databases - developing an end-to-end understanding of how systems work together.

• 3+ years of experience building and shipping web-based software products.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience, or in the process of obtaining one of the aforementioned.
• Experience contributing to both frontend and backend systems using modern frameworks and technologies.
• Familiarity with writing clean, testable, and maintainable code in a collaborative engineering environment.
• Strong communication skills - you can work effectively across teams and articulate your approach to solving technical problems.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience in the fintech space or working on investment platforms.
• Prior experience at a fast-growing startup or on a founding engineering team.
• Familiarity with building or contributing to internal tools or shared libraries.

A Note about us:

Most of our full-time roles are based onsite at our New York City office, where our team thrives on in-person collaboration and dynamic teamwork. Being onsite daily enables us to build strong connections, move quickly, and deliver exceptional service to our clients.

For select roles, we are also open to candidates based in Boston. If a role is open to Boston, it will be listed explicitly in the job location.

We encourage applicants who are located in or open to relocating to the listed location to apply and join us in this hands-on, collaborative environment

Some perks of working for Arch include:

• Strong Team - You’ll be backed by a strong team that consistently exceeds client expectations and ships new products quickly.
• Your work is high impact - Being part of a small team means you have real responsibility and impact from day one. You'll be involved in discussions that drive the growth and direction of our platform from the very beginning.
• Product Market Fit - We have strong product market fit, exceptionally low churn, and have grown mostly organically through word of mouth.
• Team community and camaraderie - We have enormous trust in each other and always do what we can do to support one another. We're always ready to step in to help.
• Great office: Our new home at 199 Water Street gives us a beautiful, energizing space to come together as a team, collaborate more easily, and keep building the next chapter of Arch.
• Lunch is on Us - We’ll keep the team fueled with lunch in the office, whether you’re catching up with teammates, talking through an idea, or just taking a well-earned break.
