We’re looking for a hands-on software architect and builder who has experience designing systems, rapidly iterating over them and delivering them across the finish line.
This role is ideal for a Lead or Senior Engineer who thrives as an individual contributor and wants to drive technical direction without moving into management.

- Full-stack development knowledge with a minimum of 5 years professional experience programming in Python demonstrating the ability to write efficient and robust code able to process and analyze large financial datasets.
- Experience with key Python Libraries (pandas, NumPy) required
- Experience in front-end development and user experience (UX) design required; experience with Pythonic front-end and data visualization libraries (e.g., Plotly, Dash) preferred.
- Experience using Version Control (Git) required.

- Solid understanding of financial markets and willingness to learn the Private Equity and Private Credit domains.
- Practical experience in developing and maintaining models, tools, and reports that showcase a deep understanding of quantitative techniques, methods, statistics and econometrics
