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


• Must have strong Python skills and experience building production APIs


• Advanced 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
