Key skills for this role
As a member of our application team, you’ll be at the intersection of domain knowledge, a complex data model and a stream of real-world events. Every day, every portfolio is acted on simultaneously by market movements, user actions and system processes. Your job is to make sure the right things happen in the right order, and that edge cases are handled correctly so that financial advisors can trust what they’re seeing.
You’ll spend a lot of your time figuring out what correctness means when multiple actions hit a portfolio at once. You’ll need to distill this complexity into a clear experience that allows financial advisors to understand the impact of their choices and present the best possible information to their clients.
Have a natural ability to think and reason about complex systems
Are able to dive into an unfamiliar domain and quickly build up working knowledge of how multiple components interact
Enjoy taking a cloud of complex problems and making them clear and straightforward
Are a proactive and effective learner who habitually analyzes and improves your own process
We hire carefully because this domain is complex and correctness matters. The people who thrive here care deeply about understanding problems. They are comfortable talking things through with others, even when they know their understanding might be incomplete. They can make meaningful progress even before they fully understand the system. They strike a practical balance that keeps work moving: they can ship a fix, stabilize a production fire, or get an MVP out the door and keep thinking critically about the problem afterward, turning it over until they reach a root cause or a clearer understanding.
