Software Engineer - Risk & Data Platforms
Chicago, IL | New York, NY
I'm working with a highly technical, fast-moving team building out cutting-edge risk and data platforms that support real-time decision-making. This group sits at the center of the business, developing systems that handle large-scale analytics, scenario modeling, and high-performance data processing. It's a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex problems and wants their work to have direct, visible impact.
What you'll do:
- Build and scale backend services, APIs, and distributed systems
- Contribute to both new development and improvements to existing platforms
- Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and end users to deliver high-impact solutions
- Take ownership of work from design through production
What they're looking for:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (Python, Java, C#, C++, or similar)
- Experience with distributed systems, cloud environments, and modern tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
- Solid problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate effectively
- Exposure to data platforms, high-performance systems, or risk-related work is a plus
No prior finance experience required - they're focused on strong engineers who want to learn, contribute, and build at scale.
