Software Engineer

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.

About the role

This is a newly created position. We need another Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Hybrid: two days in the office in New York City, the rest from home.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

Required qualifications

• 3-5 years of professional software development experience.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Preferred

• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.

Pay range: $175,000-$210,000 per year. Final offer will depend on experience.

Benefits

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%.
• Three weeks of PTO to start.
