Description
SUMMARY
The Senior Software Engineer will join the Technology team in a dynamic and growing alternative investments firm with a strong technology focus. This role is for a hands-on engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a strong product mindset to deliver scalable, secure, and intuitive software solutions.
The ideal candidate will help shape and build capabilities that improve business workflows, operational efficiency, and user experience across the team's platform. They should be comfortable translating business needs into well-architected technical solutions, partnering closely with product and business stakeholders, and contributing to the long-term evolution of the team's systems and engineering practices.
This role is well-suited for an engineer who enjoys owning important capabilities end to end, engaging directly with business stakeholders to understand their workflows and pain points, mentoring others, experimenting with modern tools and approaches including AI-assisted development, and balancing speed, quality, and business impact in a collaborative environment.
As an onsite/hybrid employee, you are expected to be in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, develop, and own key platform capabilities end to end — with accountability for architecture, performance, and supportability — to enable and further automate investment decision making, reporting, and analysis.
- Build product features with a platform-first mindset — designing for reusability, scalability, and long-term maintainability so that today's solutions become building blocks for tomorrow's capabilities.
- Leverage AI-assisted development as a core part of your engineering workflow — accelerating design exploration, code generation, testing, documentation, and problem-solving while maintaining appropriate validation and engineering rigor.
- Collaborate with product managers and business stakeholders to define requirements, scope, and priorities — and define success criteria for features before development begins so outcomes can be tracked and iterated on post-delivery.
- Champion data-driven feedback loops using observability, analytics, and user signals to validate that shipped capabilities are delivering expected value.
- Drive experimentation and innovation within the team — prototyping new approaches, evaluating emerging technologies, and championing ideas that improve how the team builds and delivers software.
- Provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, mentoring, and architecture coaching to strengthen engineering quality and team effectiveness.
- Contribute to the long-term evolution of the team's platform and technical strategy, evaluating against industry trends and evolving user needs, and recommending improvements that advance both technical excellence and product capability.
EDUCATION, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Business, or equivalent, relevant work experience.
- 7+ years of experience demonstrating strong understanding of object-oriented design and development principles. Preferred experience with Microsoft .NET/C#. Working knowledge of Python a plus.
- Active practitioner of AI-assisted engineering across the full development lifecycle, not just code generation — including design, testing, documentation, and problem-solving.
- Working knowledge and experience working in Agile development environments with strong engineering principles required.
- Experience with Continuous Integration/Deployment tools such as Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.
- Understanding of relational, non-relational, and unstructured database design and development using platforms such as SQL Azure, Microsoft SQL Server, NoSQL solutions and other high-powered data platforms is a plus.
- Demonstrated experience with automated unit and acceptance level testing. Experience working in a TDD environment is a strong plus.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to frame technical trade-offs in terms of business value.
In terms of cultural fit, the successful candidate will be self-motivated and energized by working amongst a group of thoughtful, smart, fast-paced, and successful colleagues. The successful candidate will enjoy being a part of an organization focused on excellence and will be a naturally collaborative individual who enjoys interacting with individuals at all levels. Additionally, the successful candidate will be a strong team player with a proactive approach and the ability to take initiative with discretion and judgment.
Actual base salary may vary based on factors such as individual's experience, skills, and qualifications for the role. Employees may be eligible for a discretionary bonus based on factors such as individual, team, and company performance as well as a comprehensive benefits package.
