These include process automation, calculation logic, data pipelines, and integrations with the firm's upstream and downstream systems.

You'll work with senior engineers and with Finance and Operations teams across the firm, including Real Estate and Private Equity. Together you'll turn manual and legacy processes into scalable, code-driven solutions. This is a fully hands-on role.

Success means consistently delivering well-tested, reliable code, building a strong understanding of the finance processes we support, and growing toward owning larger parts of the platform.

Responsibilities

• Build, test and maintain features in the finance oversight, calculation and process automation platforms, with guidance from senior engineers.
• Write clean, well-tested production code in Python and SQL, and help build APIs, data pipelines and cloud-based services.
• Take part in design discussions and code reviews, giving and receiving feedback to improve code quality.
• Work with senior engineers, PMs and business users to understand finance processes and requirements.
• Help move legacy processes and tools onto modern, code-based platforms.
• Follow team engineering standards for version control, CI/CD, automated testing and documentation.
• Support production systems by monitoring jobs, troubleshooting issues and helping resolve incidents.
• Build in controls and security requirements by following established team and firm guidelines.
• Work effectively with offshore and affiliate teams through clear written and verbal communication.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong Python and SQL skills, and comfort working with relational databases.
• Familiarity with APIs, data pipelines and cloud-based development.
• Experience with version control (such as Git) and automated testing.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and an interest in learning complex business logic.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative, ownership-minded approach.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
• Exposure to financial services, especially real estate or private equity, including performance calculations, deal lifecycle, forecasting or investor reporting preferred.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms or workflow orchestration tools preferred.
• Experience using AI or LLM-based tools in development or process automation preferred.
