About the role

Do you enjoy solving complex quantitative challenges involving large datasets, financial calculations, and analytics infrastructure?
Are you looking for an opportunity to help shape the next generation of investment performance and analytics technology?
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, quantitative financial analytics, and investment technology.

Responsibilities

Are you passionate about building highly accurate, calculation-intensive financial systems where correctness, scale, and transparency are critical?
You will design and build sophisticated systems that power performance measurement, attribution, and reporting across complex investment portfolios.
You'll play a key role in designing and evolving Ridgeline's investment performance and analytics platform, building systems that support sophisticated reporting workflows and help investment managers make informed decisions.
Working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, you'll partner closely with product, strategy, and engineering teams to design scalable solutions, drive technical decision-making, and influence the direction of a growing platform.
In this role, you'll contribute throughout the software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design reviews through implementation, testing, and deployment.
You'll develop systems capable of supporting complex asset classes including fixed income, derivatives, private equity, and other alternative investments, while helping optimize critical calculations such as time-weighted returns (TWR), internal rates of return (IRR), and performance attribution methodologies.
From a technical perspective, we're looking for someone with experience working with relational and analytical databases, including query optimization and data modeling, as well as experience building cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
You should have a strong appreciation for automated testing, software quality, and maintainable system design, along with the ability to balance immediate business needs with long-term architectural thinking.
