About The Position

Are you a backend engineer with a passion for clean, scalable systems and a deep appreciation for well-modeled financial data? Do you enjoy solving complex, data-rich problems and collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering peers to build industry-defining software? Are you eager to shape how modern investment data is structured, stored, and surfaced across a next-generation platform? If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team. As a Senior Software Engineer on Ridgeline’s Portfolio team, you will have the unique opportunity to build complex, high-quality applications that redefine how investment data is managed and understood.

You'll contribute to both system architecture and application design using cutting-edge cloud-native tools—including AI technologies like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT—to accelerate development and deliver scalable solutions. At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture.
