Senior Software Engineer - Middle and Back Office

About the role

The Operating Platform Technology function designs, builds, and maintains the platforms and data infrastructure that support firm-wide operations, trading compliance, accounting, financial reporting, management reporting, and compensation processes. The team interfaces closely with Operations, Treasury, Compliance, Finance, Tax, Legal, HR, and senior management.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own full-stack applications across the Operating Platform — front-end interfaces, back-end services and APIs, and the data pipelines that support operations, compliance, accounting, and reporting workflows
• Drive the modernization of existing systems, re-architecting legacy components into scalable, cloud-native solutions deployed on AWS and Kubernetes
• Design and embed AI agent–based workflows into the platform — automating manual operational, compliance, and reporting processes while keeping humans in the loop where oversight and auditability demand it
• Partner directly with stakeholders across Compliance, Operations, Treasury, Finance, Tax, Legal, and HR to translate complex business and regulatory requirements into sound technical designs
• Build auditable, well-controlled systems with strong attention to data integrity, lineage, and access controls, given the sensitivity of financial and compensation data
• Diagnose and resolve production issues across the stack, and contribute to a stable, well-monitored cloud operating environment
• Participate in the evaluation and introduction of new technologies and approaches, including emerging AI and agentic tooling

Requirements

• Extensive full-stack engineering experience (4+ years): modern front-end frameworks (e.g., Angular), back-end development (e.g., C#/.NET, Python), and both relational and analytical data stores (e.g., MS SQL Server, Snowflake)
• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering and operating production systems at scale
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying cloud-native applications, ideally on AWS, using containerization (Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code, and modern CI/CD pipelines
• Experience building or integrating AI agent–based or LLM-powered workflows into production systems
• Experience building systems within financial services or asset management across some or all of the following: trading compliance, regulatory reporting, financial data, and accounting workflows
• Proven ability to design auditable, well-controlled systems that handle sensitive data
• Strong command of software architecture, API design, data modeling, and system integration
• Experience modernizing or re-architecting legacy systems without disrupting business-critical operations
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work directly with non-technical business stakeholders and translate their needs into technical solutions
• An ownership mindset and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, autonomous, fast-paced environment
