The Opportunity

 

We’re looking for a passionate Senior Software Development Engineer (Full Stack) to help increase the value proposition of the platform to our existing clients by creating efficient project delivery. We seek a technical leader who owns both modern angular frontend architecture and scalable Node.js backend services. You will work closely with your fellow developers, QAs, product managers, and members of the platform team daily. 

This is a unique hybrid product-and-client-focused engineering role. While we build and evolve our own SaaS platform, our solutions are delivered to some of the world's leading financial institutions, each with unique business, regulatory, and operational requirements. Success in this role goes beyond building great software; it requires understanding client challenges, evaluating multiple approaches, and designing the right solution. We are looking for engineers who enjoy combining technical excellence with business problem-solving, helping clients achieve their goals rather than simply implementing out-of-the-box functionality. 

If you are a developer who thrives in a high-reaching environment, loves a good challenge, and won’t leave problems unsolved, this could be a great role for you! We’d love you to demonstrate your technical acumen (particularly in JavaScript), your ability to be a true team player, and demonstrate leadership & mentorship abilities throughout the interview process.  

Our cross-functional pods have built a world-class platform that supports all three of our lines of business and tackles new revenue-generating problems every day. You will have the opportunity to suggest ways to improve the existing architecture and technical debt as well as provide insight to optimize the Objectway Digital Client Onboarding (ODCO) platform and make it more scalable. Our Engineers are able to see the positive impact of their work not only on the company, but on the wealth management industry as a whole. 

 

You'll thrive in this role if: 

1. You are ready to step into technical leadership: You want to move beyond just writing great code and take on an active role in shaping architecture and mentoring fellow developers.
2. You enjoy solving real-world client problems: You can balance product thinking with client needs, working closely with stakeholders to understand complex business requirements and architect solutions that deliver the best outcomes for leading financial institutions, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
3. You thrive on complex challenges: You are excited by the prospect of designing, optimizing, and scaling REST APIs and microservices in a high-traffic production environment.
4. You want your voice to be heard: You enjoy working in a highly collaborative, fast-paced Agile environment where your ideas have a direct impact on the product and engineering culture.
5. You are looking for ownership: You want to work somewhere that allows you to drive initiatives forward and take true ownership of the systems you build.
