About The Position

We are seeking a senior full-stack software engineer to work on the modernization of the Operating Platform. This role combines hands-on engineering leadership and stakeholder partnership. The senior developer will be responsible for the design, reliability, scalability, and evolution of the Operating Platform systems. The ideal candidate is a strong senior developer who has experience in some or all of the following business streams: trading compliance, regulatory reporting, financial data, accounting workflows, and who can translate complex financial processes into robust, auditable, and production-grade systems.

Requirements

Extensive full-stack engineering experience (4+ years): modern front-end frameworks (e.g., Angular), back-end development (e.g., C#/.NET, Python), and both relational and analytical data stores (e.g., MS SQL Server, Snowflake)
7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering and operating production systems at scale
Hands-on experience designing and deploying cloud-native applications, ideally on AWS, using containerization (Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code, and modern CI/CD pipelines
Experience building or integrating AI agent–based or LLM-powered workflows into production systems
Experience building systems within financial services or asset management across some or all of the following: trading compliance, regulatory reporting, financial data, and accounting workflows
Proven ability to design auditable, well-controlled systems that handle sensitive data
Strong command of software architecture, API design, data modeling, and system integration
Experience modernizing or re-architecting legacy systems without disrupting business-critical operations
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work directly with non-technical business stakeholders and translate their needs into technical solutions
An ownership mindset and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, autonomous, fast-paced environment

Responsibilities

Design, build, and own full-stack applications across the Operating Platform — front-end interfaces, back-end services and APIs, and the data pipelines that support operations, compliance, accounting, and reporting workflows
Drive the modernization of existing systems, re-architecting legacy components into scalable, cloud-native solutions deployed on AWS and Kubernetes
Design and embed AI agent–based workflows into the platform — automating manual operational, compliance, and reporting processes while keeping humans in the loop where oversight and auditability demand it
Partner directly with stakeholders across Compliance, Operations, Treasury, Finance, Tax, Legal, and HR to translate complex business and regulatory requirements into sound technical designs
Build auditable, well-controlled systems with strong attention to data integrity, lineage, and access controls, given the sensitivity of financial and compensation data
Diagnose and resolve production issues across the stack, and contribute to a stable, well-monitored cloud operating environment
Participate in the evaluation and introduction of new technologies and approaches, including emerging AI and agentic tooling
