Software Engineer

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll join the Application Engineering team, which builds the systems and data platform that power investment workflows across Private Alternatives branch of the firm—from core back-office applications (deals, tranches, accounting) to newer AI-driven tools used directly by traders. The team is distributed across Minneapolis and Nashville. In Nashville, you’ll work closely with a small, high-impact group of engineers and business analysts, while collaborating daily with teammates in Minneapolis across engineering and analytics.

What You’ll Do

• Build and operate a FastAPI-based platform supporting trading, analytics, risk, and back-office workflows
• Build and evolve internal AI tools, including Snowflake-based agents that enable traders to explore firm data via natural language
• Design scalable APIs across domains like trades, positions, exposures, and investor accounting
• Develop data services on top of Snowflake, with a focus on performance and usability
• Integrate LLM capabilities (AWS Bedrock, Snowflake Cortex) into applications, including conversational interfaces and document workflows
• Connect systems across the stack, including BI tools (Looker, Sigma), AWS services (ECS, Lambda), and internal platforms
• Implement background processing pipelines (Redis Queue) for reporting and asynchronous workflows
• Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform and AWS
• Maintain high code quality through testing, CI/CD, and code standards
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate complex data needs into reliable systems

What We’re Looking For

• Around 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Must have strong Python skills and experience building production APIs
• Advanced SQL skills and experience with data warehouses (Snowflake a plus)
• Experience with AWS and infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred)
• Familiarity with Docker, Redis, and background job systems is ideal
• Interest in or experience with LLMs and AI features (prompting, RAG, agents)
• Experience with relational databases and ORMs (PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy)
• Strong testing practices and a focus on code quality
• Clear communicator who values simple, maintainable code
