The Role

About this role

About the role

BlackRock’s Post Trade & Accounting group is seeking an associate engineer leader to advance our enterprise Client Reporting platform. In this role, you will develop scalable services and modern applications that support the full lifecycle of reporting production, distribution, and client access.

You will work on high-volume, mission-critical systems where accuracy, performance, resiliency, and operational scale are essential—contributing to a platform that directly shapes client experience, automation, and innovation across institutional and Aladdin clients.

About the Team

The Client Reporting team delivers and manages BlackRock’s enterprise Client Reporting platform, providing end-to-end reporting solutions for a diverse global base of accounting and institutional clients. We oversee the full lifecycle of report production and distribution—ensuring quality, scalability, and operational excellence through advanced QC workflows, exception management tools (including the Aladdin dashboard), and robust monitoring frameworks.

The team manages reporting inventory and KPIs, supports both standardized and highly customized data sets, and enables access to reporting-ready data through digital portals and reporting libraries. We also power a dynamic self-service experience, offering secure document delivery via API, SFTP, and Secure Links, along with flexible tools for client-driven report configuration and branding.

By owning the critical systems and processes behind client reporting, the team plays a central role in shaping client experience, driving automation and innovation, and delivering scalable, resilient solutions for industry-leading clients.

What You’ll Do

  • Build scalable, high-performance services (Java, Python)

  • Develop and evolve microservices and event-driven systems supporting large-scale financial reporting workflows

  • Design and implement RESTful APIs and data integrations (SQL, Snowflake, streaming, caching)

  • Contribute to modern web applications using Angular/React integrated with backend services (TypeScript)

  • Own features end-to-end — from design and development to deployment and production support

  • Drive reliability, performance, and engineering excellence through strong testing and code reviews

Qualifications

  • B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 4+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and supporting production systems.

  • Strong expertise in Java, Python, and REST API development

  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization

  • Experience with SQL & NOSQL databases and data modeling

  • Working knowledge of Angular and modern TypeScript development

  • Experience in Agile environments with Git-based workflows

  • Experience using AI tools to augment the SDLC (design, coding, testing, documentation) with strong validation and review discipline

  • Ability to translate ambiguous problems into structured, step-by-step plans suitable for AI-assisted execution and iterative refinement

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ownership mindset

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Kafka, Redis, or other distributed systems technologies

  • Cloud-native experience (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure/AWS/GCP)

  • Exposure to CI/CD and observability tooling

  • Interest in financial systems, reporting platforms, or investment processes

Our benefits
To help you stay energized, engaged and inspired, we offer a wide range of benefits including a strong retirement plan, tuition reimbursement, comprehensive healthcare, support for working parents and Flexible Time Off (FTO) so you can relax, recharge and be there for the people you care about.

What We Do

As the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock partners with investors around the globe to help them (and those on whose behalf they invest) plan for life’s most important goals – like retirement, home ownership and their children’s education. Our clients range from governments, foundations and other large institutions to those investing on behalf of individuals, including firefighters, nurses, teachers and factory workers.

BlackRock was founded with the idea of creating a better asset management firm — one that was purpose-driven, focused on clients and risk management, and propelled by data and technology. Our breakthrough Aladdin® platform is BlackRock’s technological backbone, helping investors see and manage their whole portfolios in one place – from constructing investments to monitoring risk and executing trades. Used by hundreds of external institutions around the world, Aladdin combines powerful analytics and a common language to help investment teams make faster, more informed decisions across public and private markets. It’s a key part of our business and one of the reasons we’re trusted to manage more assets than any other investment manager today.

At BlackRock, we challenge conventions and raise the bar for what’s possible. We harness technology to unlock new solutions, simplify complexity, and deliver investment strategies that meet people where they are. Whether it’s retirement planning, wealth building or navigating market shifts, we’re here to help clients invest more easily, more affordably and with more choice as we chart a path toward financial well-being together.
