- Location: New York, New York
- Job Type: Fulltime Employment (Onsite)

What We’re Looking For
- 8 years of software engineering experience with demonstrated ability to deliver features end-to-end across backend and frontend.
- Strong proficiency in Python and Java, with sound architectural instincts (when to build vs. reuse, how to decompose services, when to simplify).
- Fluency with modern AI development tools (Claude Code, MCP servers, LLM APIs) and an ability to use them productively while maintaining quality and correctness.
- Experience working directly with business stakeholders—not just taking tickets, but shaping requirements and validating solutions.
- The business context to make the right tradeoffs: you understand that technical decisions have business consequences and vice versa.
- Strong communication skills: you can explain technical decisions to non-technical partners and advocate for engineering quality without creating friction.
- A builder’s mindset: you prefer shipping working software over perfecting designs, while maintaining the quality bar for production systems.
- Experience in financial services, investment management
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Vue.js or a modern frontend framework (React acceptable if you can ramp quickly on Vue).
- Experience with event-driven architecture, workflow orchestration, or data pipeline design.
- A track record of building internal tools or platforms that make other teams more productive.
