Job Description

Location & Comp

  • Battery Park City, NYC — Hybrid, 4 days in office
  • $200,000–$220,000 base + bonus
  • Unlimited PTO, exceptional benefits

This is a career-defining step-up role.

You've spent the last several years deep in front office technology - ideally equity trading within investment management. You've supported PMs, Traders, Quants. You're not yet carrying the "architect" title, but you're already doing the thinking. This is the seat that makes it official.

The Opportunity

You'll be a Lead technologist embedded in the front office. You'll own the relationship with the business, translate their needs, provide hands-on implementation and lead a small team of developers (who are outside of NYC). You'll have direct influence over architecture decisions, EMS customizations, and the future-state.

The Work

  • Architect, design, and develop EMS customizations and trading workflow integrations (Portware, CRIMS, future Aladdin migration)
  • Interface daily with front office users
  • Lead and mentor a team of 5 developers
  • Optimize end-to-end trade execution workflows across Equities, Futures, FX, and Options
  • Drive architectural direction: microservices, cloud-native (AWS), and AI-assisted development
  • Balance new development (30%), enhancements (50%), and maintenance (20%)
Tech Stack: Java (50%), JavaFX, React, SQL Server, VB.net, FactsetPortware, CRIMS, AWS, Snowflake, Kafka, Docker, Git Copilot, Jira, Agile/TDD

Who We're Looking For

You're a strong senior engineer or a junior architect who checks most of these boxes:

  • 5+ years in investment technology, with real exposure to equity trading workflows
  • Solid Java concepts, design, development
  • Hands-on experience with EMS or OMS
  • Comfortable talking to traders and business users
  • Microservices
  • Cloud
  • You've formerly or informally mentored others, led a workstream, or driven a project end-to-end
What You Don't Need
  • A formal "architect" title on your resume
  • 10+ years - the right candidate has the domain depth and is ready to make the leap
  • Prior team management experience - but you need the desire and instincts
