About the role

SUMMARY The Senior Software Engineer will join the Technology team in a dynamic and growing alternative investments firm with a strong technology focus.
As an onsite/hybrid employee, you are expected to be in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Design, develop, and own key platform capabilities end to end - with accountability for architecture, performance, and supportability - to enable and further automate investment decision making, reporting, and analysis.
Build product features with a platform-first mindset - designing for reusability, scalability, and long-term maintainability so that today's solutions become building blocks for tomorrow's capabilities.
Collaborate with product managers and business stakeholders to define requirements, scope, and priorities - and define success criteria for features before development begins so outcomes can be tracked and iterated on post-delivery.
Champion data-driven feedback loops using observability, analytics, and user signals to validate that shipped capabilities are delivering expected value.
Drive experimentation and innovation within the team - prototyping new approaches, evaluating emerging technologies, and championing ideas that improve how the team builds and delivers software.
Provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, mentoring, and architecture coaching to strengthen engineering quality and team effectiveness.
Active practitioner of AI-assisted engineering across the full development lifecycle, not just code generation - including design, testing, documentation, and problem-solving.

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Business, or equivalent, relevant work experience.
Working knowledge and experience working in Agile development environments with strong engineering principles required.

7+ years of experience demonstrating strong understanding of object-oriented design and development principles.
Preferred experience with Microsoft.NET/C#.
Working knowledge of Python a plus.

Leverage AI-assisted development as a core part of your engineering workflow - accelerating design exploration, code generation, testing, documentation, and problem-solving while maintaining appropriate validation and engineering rigor.
