Partnering with Operations and Finance to automate workflows and reduce errors
Building integrations with external systems such as prime brokers, fund administrators, custodians, and regulatory platforms
Making architectural decisions that will support the fund’s rapid growth and long-term reliability

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
3–7+ years of professional software engineering experience in finance
Strong programming skills in Python or Java
Experience with SQL databases and data modeling

Excellent communication skills
