Job Description

The Software Engineer role entails responsibilities in their engineering department spanning a number of domains—from data engineering to workflow development. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers, researchers, and other stakeholders to identify requirements and build robust internal tools for this hedge fund.

 

Specific responsibilities include:

 

·       Delivering projects via both individual engineering contribution and direction of internal and external staff

·       Providing production support for various time-sensitive systems such as signal dashboards, portfolio management systems, external trade feeds, risk systems, operational/accounting systems and many others

·       Using modern, proven architectural designs to enhance existing and build new APIs, frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and testing suites

·       Performing data analysis and reconciliations to validate system functionality

·       Contributing to the firm''s AI buildouts—integrating LLMs and AI-assisted workflows into internal tools, research pipelines, and developer tooling

 

The role requires solid understanding of engineering principles, very strong programming capabilities, strong communication skills, collaborative spirit, and an analytic orientation.

 Any experience with mortgage-backed securities, whole loans, structured products, portfolio management systems, and accounting would be helpful in the role. Exposure to corporate credit products such as collateralized loan obligations, corporate bonds, or bank loans would be a plus

 

  • Strong command of SQL programming, database engineering principles, and query optimization
  • Working knowledge of one or more of C#, JavaScript, or TypeScript (exposure to frameworks such as Angular or React is a plus)
  • Working knowledge of Python (helpful but not required)
  • Comfort developing front-ends
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) and a thoughtful approach to using them in production codebases

 

a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline such as Electrical Engineering.
