Software Engineer II

Institutional clients include pension funds, endowments and insurance companies. Regulatory oversight is constant, and the compliance department is one of the largest in the company.

Job summary

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. The Software Engineer II will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Key responsibilities

Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners. Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

Qualifications

3+ years of professional software development experience. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Salary: $145,000 - $188,000 annually
