What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer position at Arch?
Our Company
Arch is a Series B financial technology company that automates the management of private investments, improving access, understanding, and the human experience of investing across asset classes.
Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch.
Arch delivers standardized data, documents, and insights in a single platform, avoiding the need to chase information across dozens or hundreds of ‘portals’. Our purpose is to save investors’ time while empowering them to make more informed investment decisions, leading to better financial outcomes.
We are a fast-growing, dynamic team of 200 , serving over 400 clients, including several of America’s largest banks, families, and financial institutions. We’ve over doubled the size of the company every year since inception and we are looking to hire in all departments as we scale.
The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining core components of our platform. This is a critical role, as your contributions will directly impact the user experience and help our team scale to meet the growing demand for our product. You’ll work closely with product managers, data scientists, and other developers to build a solution that makes a difference in our clients' investment processes.
Key Responsibilities
All of our full-time roles are based onsite at our New York City office, where our team thrives on in-person collaboration and dynamic teamwork. Being onsite daily enables us to build strong connections, collaborate effectively to solve challenges, and foster an engaging environment focused on shipping product and delivering exceptional service to our clients.
We encourage applicants currently located in or willing to relocate to the NYC area to join us in this exciting, hands-on workspace.
