About the Role

The Software Engineer at iCapital Network will work end-to-end on new features, enhancements, and defect resolution on one or more of iCapital's software platforms. You will work closely with our Product Management team throughout the software development process, detailing requirements, reviewing work in progress, and addressing issues found via manual test efforts. You will be working with Ruby on Rails for back end and React for front end.

At iCapital, we value expertise in other programming languages and business areas. More than checking the boxes on specific technologies, we are looking for driven team members with technical depth and a desire to deliver end products for our clients. If you are not already familiar with the technologies used at iCapital, you will have the opportunity to pick up these new tools and technologies while on the job—with support from management and mentors.

Responsibilities

  • Backend feature development in Ruby (3.6.6) and Rails (6.x) 
  • Frontend development in React and Redux
  • Unit and integration test development using RSpec, Cucumber, and Capybara 
  • Building out prototypes and POCs
  • Active participation in daily stand up meetings 
  • Active participation in Peer Code Reviews as part of our standard SDLC and Change Management Process

Qualifications

  • Degree in Software Engineering
  • 3+ years of Full Stack, web-based application development
  • 3+ years of development experience with React and Ruby on Rails. Python/Elixir would be a good substitute if less expertise on Ruby
  • 3+ years of HTML / CSS development
  • Demonstrated understanding of relational database concepts and modeling practices
  • Passion for actively learning new technologies
  • Ability to work independently or as part of a group effort, as required
  • Solid problem solving abilities
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Collaborative approach to software development
  • Fluency in English and Portuguese required — written and verbal


Benefits

iCapital offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes a total compensation program consisting of competitive salary, annual performance bonus, and equity for all full-time employees; healthcare with 100% employer-paid health and dental insurance; and generous paid time off (PTO).

A BIG VISION
Striving to make an impact in an inclusive way
iCapital’s Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Rachel Cheeks-Givan has had a tenure featuring big milestones, like rolling out an overarching DEI strategy, iBelong at iCapital (rooted in four pillars: colleagues, culture, community, and clients), and creating a Global DEI Governance Committee and a Global DEI Steering Committee. With more plans ahead, there’s no sign of slowing down. “Our aspiration is to be the most inclusive organization in the world, as diverse as the society around us, where everyone feels safe and valued for their unique perspectives and experiences,” she said.

iCapital is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do. We believe strongly that diverse perspectives lead to greater collaboration, innovation and growth for our business, our clients and, ultimately, our people.
FURTHER THE BUSINESS
Exploring opportunities to innovate
“My favorite element of iCapital’s culture is its dedication to innovation,” said SVP of Technology Shay Hasnat. And that commitment is underscored by a current project about which Hasnat is excited: bringing together multiple applications into what Hasnat called a “unified platform” that will help users engage with a breadth of investment vehicles. It’s a project that Hasnat said has both big potential for users and iCapital. “It unlocks our ability to innovate and reproduce success in one part of the business by leveraging the technologies and services created by another,” Hasnat said.

INVESTING IN THE TEAM
Professional growth you can bank on
Lateral moves can facilitate big growth. That’s the case for finance leader Ilona Herbst, who spent her starting years at iCapital as executive assistant to CEO Lawrence Calcano — which Herbst called “a uniquely privileged opportunity” — before moving to corporate finance a few years ago. “iCapital culture is to promote from within. The flexibility of the company enabled me to grow into the new role and to develop new processes and workflows,” she said. Further, Herbst said recent career path dialogue with her managers touched on certifications to obtain for supporting her career.

I feel encouraged by management and their support of my career path and the ability to openly discuss it.
