Senior Software Engineering Architect — Investment Technologies

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential insurance organization executing a multi-year modernization of their investment technology platform. This Senior Software Engineering Architect role sits at the center of a transformation spanning applications, workflow systems, APIs, integration architecture, and a comprehensive investment data and analytics platform across front, middle, and back office operations.

As the owner of end-to-end solution architecture, you will define reference architectures, drive prototyping of complex solutions, and maintain accountability for what ships across multiple agile product teams.

Responsibilities

• Own solution architecture across the full investment technology stack including applications, services, data platforms, APIs, integration fabric, and analytics systems with connections to multi-basis accounting
• Define and enforce reference architecture standards at every tier: canonical investment domain models, IBOR/ABOR/PBOR data flows, API-first service design, event-driven and batch integration patterns (CDC, streaming, file), and application technology guardrails
• Engage directly with engineering teams on implementations from UI to pipeline, review production code quality and pull requests, and establish standards for testing, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code
• Design integrations and extensions around the vendor platform estate including order/portfolio management, investment accounting, private markets, market data providers, and custodians—building the applications, APIs, and automation that close gaps with explicit build-vs-buy-vs-configure decisions
• Architect solutions on modern AWS cloud infrastructure end-to-end: serverless and containerized services, eventing, workflow orchestration, and Snowflake-based data platforms with cost and controls as first-class design criteria
• Engineer for regulatory compliance: architectures must produce SOX ITGC and SOC 1/2 evidence by design, with data lineage, logging, and traceable audit controls built in from the start
• Build architectural runway within Agile delivery frameworks: author enabler epics, participate in PI planning, sequence technical debt, and keep delivery teams building toward established target states
• Mentor senior engineers and partner credibly with enterprise architecture, information security, data governance, and investment operations leadership

What We're Looking For

• 12+ years in software engineering with 5+ years architecting and delivering platforms for buy-side investments at an asset manager, insurance general account, pension fund, or investment-platform vendor
• Demonstrated depth in at least two of these three tiers: application/services engineering, data platform engineering, cloud infrastructure—with genuine working fluency across all three
• Working fluency in the investment data domain including trade lifecycle, IBOR vs. ABOR, fixed income and derivatives, private and structured assets, corporate actions, and reconciliation processes
• Strong software engineering skills with technologies such as Python, JavaScript, SQL, Terraform, bash, plus modern web application experience (TypeScript/React, REST, GraphQL, or event-driven APIs)
• Hands-on AWS experience including compute, serverless, containers, eventing, IAM, plus experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data platforms including streaming ingestion and orchestration at scale
• Experience applying generative AI and agentic tooling to engineering delivery or building AI-assisted workflow applications
• Direct experience integrating major investment platforms such as Aladdin, Bloomberg, SimCorp, Eagle, Clearwater, or portfolio accounting systems—including understanding where they excel and where they require augmentation
• Experience delivering under audit regimes (SOX, SOC 1/2, model governance, or equivalent) with the ability to design for compliance evidence rather than retrofitting controls
• Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and business audiences from individual contributors to executive leadership

Strong Pluses:

• Insurance or reinsurance general-account experience including investment accounting and statutory reporting
• Familiarity with Asset-Liability Management and actuarial interfaces to investment data
• Private credit or private markets platform experience
• Experience operating within Agile frameworks in product-oriented technology organizations
