You'll work closely with Finance and Operations teams across the firm, including Real Estate and Private Equity. Together you'll replace manual and legacy processes with scalable, code-driven solutions.

Execute the migration of the legacy processes and tools that should move to modern, code-based platforms.
Partner with Finance, Operations, Product Managers and Data Engineering stakeholders to shape requirements, priorities and roadmap trade-offs.
Set and enforce engineering standards for code quality, CI/CD, automated testing, observability and production support.
Keep platforms reliable through monitoring, incident management, performance tuning and disaster recovery readiness.
Work with Information Security and Risk to meet internal controls, audit and regulatory requirements.
Mentor and develop engineers, help with hiring, and set clear technical direction for offshore and affiliate teams.
Qualifications:
10+ years of software engineering experience, with recent hands-on development in Python and SQL.
A track record of designing and delivering enterprise-grade platforms in financial services, ideally in finance, accounting or fund operations.
Strong background in application architecture, APIs, data pipelines and cloud-native development.
Working knowledge of CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure as code and production operations.
Experience leading or mentoring engineers, including distributed or offshore teams.
