Working at the intersection of groundbreaking technology and limitless financial services industry growth, we are optimizing how capital is put to work.

The Role

We are currently seeking a Senior Software Engineer - Frontend Lead to join our Portfolio Accounting Team!

As a Senior Software Engineer - Frontend Lead, you will have the opportunity to work on this green field project to build a portfolio accounting system for Addepar. Our goal is to process tens of millions of transactions across millions of accounts that Addepar platform ingests every day, and to build various applications on top of it. It includes the following:

  • From a data point of view, we will receive trade files from different Order Management Systems in different formats, thus we need to build and work with other teams to define common formats and apply ETL.
  • From an application point of view, we want to build basic functionality such as general ledger, position aggregation and portfolio valuation. And further we could build balance sheets/income sheets, performance reports.
  • From an accounting perspective,  we want to provide different views: tax account view, custody view, sleeve/strategy view, etc.

  • Various UI views for all applications mentioned above, such as positions, valuations, tax account view, etc. - These views will be external facing.
  • Internal views that manage the workflow of the system, providing capabilities to monitor, debug, and to fix issues. - These views will be used by operations, product managers and developers.

Our engineering team works in Java, Python, and Javascript, but we don’t require prior experience with any specific tool set. Great software engineers can pick up new languages on the job. More than checking the boxes on specific technologies, we're looking for driven engineers with real technical depth and a desire to understand the end business. We want people who are passionate and care deeply about the success of the whole company.

What You’ll Do:

  • Build the frontend system from scratch with a tech stack of our own choice, while following Addepar’s best practices
  • Contribute to architecture design

Who You Are:

  • B.S., M.S., in Computer Science or similar technical field of study (or equivalent practical experience.)
  • 7+ years of experience with other JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js or Angular. Ember.js is a plus
