About the role
A top Stamford-based research-driven alternative asset management firm is looking for a strong software engineer to join them on a full-time basis. This role will be within their quantitative research and technology arm. They are seeking a Software Developer with a strong foundation in full-stack development and genuine curiosity about how software can support investment research. This candidate will be tasked to maintain, extend, and improve the software and database systems – including tools that support our quantitative research and risk management work – as well as build new tools from scratch. Existing finance knowledge and interest is a plus, but substantial finance knowledge is not required – you'll have the opportunity to grow into that side of the role over time as you take on more scope.
Required Experience & Skills:
- Full-stack development experience, with proficiency in across the T3 stack (TypeScript, React/Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, Tailwind) as well as Python, SQL, and Bash
- Demonstrated full-stack development experience using TDD – we want to hear about specific webapps you've built and deployed
- Comfort working with relational databases and writing production-quality SQL
- Enough professional experience to work independently and confidently extend a live, in-production codebase built by another engineer – this is not an entry-level role
- Experience with AI engineering, LLM tooling, or workflow automation. We’re looking for someone who has used the OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar API to build an agentic workflow for process automation.
