Software Engineer
xcedeHamilton (OH)
About the role
A top Stamford-based research-driven alternative asset management firm is looking for a strong software engineer to join them on a full-time basis. This role will be within their quantitative research and technology arm. They are seeking a Software Developer with a strong foundation in full-stack development and genuine curiosity about how software can support investment research. This candidate will be tasked to maintain, extend, and improve the software and database systems – including tools that support our quantitative research and risk management work – as well as build new tools from scratch. Existing finance knowledge and interest is a plus, but substantial finance knowledge is not required – you'll have the opportunity to grow into that side of the role over time as you take on more scope.
Required Experience & Skills:
- Full-stack development experience, with proficiency in across the T3 stack (TypeScript, React/Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, Tailwind) as well as Python, SQL, and Bash
- Demonstrated full-stack development experience using TDD – we want to hear about specific webapps you've built and deployed
- Comfort working with relational databases and writing production-quality SQL
- Enough professional experience to work independently and confidently extend a live, in-production codebase built by another engineer – this is not an entry-level role
Experience with AI engineering, LLM tooling, or workflow automation. We’re looking for someone who has used the OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar API to build an agentic workflow for process automation.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
