The Role
We're building a scalable, tax-efficient trading & rebalancing platform for wealth management firms of all sizes. The platform will target sophisticated rebalancing strategies across equities, mutual funds, and fixed-income products and send trades to be completed in the market.

from concept to delivery, ensuring our solutions are scalable, resilient, and secure. You will leverage your deep expertise in software design patterns and distributed systems to solve challenging problems and pioneer the adoption of new technologies.

• Amplify your technical ability by empowering your peers and contributing to code reviews and technical designs
• Research and drive the adoption of new technologies and best practices to drive innovation
• Our engineering team primarily works in Java, Python, React, and Ember, and we use Agile methodologies to deliver impactful business outcomes
