Who You’ll Work With:
You’ll join the Application Engineering team, which builds the systems and data platform that power investment workflows across Private Alternatives branch of the firm—from core back-office applications (deals, tranches, accounting) to newer AI-driven tools used directly by traders.
The team is distributed across Minneapolis and Nashville. In Nashville, you’ll work closely with a small, high-impact group of engineers and business analysts, while collaborating daily with teammates in Minneapolis across engineering and analytics.
What You’ll Do:
Build and operate a FastAPI-based platform supporting trading, analytics, risk, and back-office workflows
Build and evolve internal AI tools, including Snowflake-based agents that enable traders to explore firm data via natural language
Design scalable APIs across domains like trades, positions, exposures, and investor accounting
Develop data services on top of Snowflake, with a focus on performance and usability
Integrate LLM capabilities (AWS Bedrock, Snowflake Cortex) into applications, including conversational interfaces and document workflows
Connect systems across the stack, including BI tools (Looker, Sigma), AWS services (ECS, Lambda), and internal platforms
Implement background processing pipelines (Redis Queue) for reporting and asynchronous workflows
Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform and AWS
Maintain high code quality through testing, CI/CD, and code standards
Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate complex data needs into reliable systems
What We’re Looking For:
Around 5 years of software engineering experience
Strong Python skills and experience building production APIs
Solid SQL skills and experience with data warehouses (Snowflake a plus)
Experience with AWS and infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred)
Familiarity with Docker, Redis, and background job systems is ideal
Interest in or experience with LLMs and AI features (prompting, RAG, agents)
Experience with relational databases and ORMs (PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy)
Strong testing practices and a focus on code quality
Clear communicator who values simple, maintainable code
