Senior Associate Engineer, Corporate Systems Engineering

Future Standard•Philadelphia, PA

About The Position

The Corporate Systems Engineering team builds the platforms and integrations that power firmwide corporate functions across multiple lines of business. We design and run the systems that enable Finance, HR, Legal, Compliance, Operations, and other enterprise teams to operate reliably and at scale. Our work lives at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and platform integration. We focus on building systems that are secure, resilient, and production-ready. We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Associate Engineer with deep software engineering expertise and strong platform integration skills. This role is ideal for someone who has written production code, deployed to cloud environments, integrated with SaaS platforms, and supported systems in real-world operations. You’ll build services and integrations end-to-end—from design and implementation through deployment and ongoing support. You’ll work closely with architects, platform engineers, and infrastructure teams, but this is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership and accountability.
