The firm is backed by Sixth Street Growth, Summit Partners, Carlyle AlpInvest, and Nasdaq Inc., and has seen continuous rapid growth since its founding in 2016.

The Role
As a key member of our team, you will lead and deliver projects from concept to production; driving core technical direction while working closely with key stakeholders. Our engineering teams collaborate daily with product managers and designers to build exceptional software. An ideal candidate for this role will have both sharp technical skills and a keen product sensibility.

In this role you will:

Collaborate with engineering, product, and design to architect high-performance and user-centric features to drive direct client impact among leaders in the private equity space
Champion platform reliability and data integrity while maintaining development velocity, making thoughtful decisions that advance both technical quality and product outcomes
Mentor and provide guidance to engineers across all levels, with opportunities to grow into direct people management, fostering a culture of continuous learning and developing future technical leaders
Identify new technologies and best practices to promote a culture of continuous improvement
You will be successful in this role if you have:
At least 9 years of professional development experience, with a proven track record of leading complex technical projects
Expertise in Typescript, Node, PostgreSQL and GraphQL, in particular schema and API design
Fluency in frontend frameworks and patterns such as React and React Query
Aptitude for navigating ambiguity and designing solutions that account for cross-system implications—spanning data models, validations, application logic and user workflows
Excellent leadership and communication skills, with demonstrated ability to drive consensus across stakeholders and distill complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
A track record of balancing technical solutions with business outcomes, making thoughtful tradeoffs that serve both immediate needs and long-term platform health
Nice-to-haves:
Experience implementing and extending modern JavaScript libraries such as SpreadJS, HyperFormula, FinnFlo-js, and AG Grid
Experience building AI-integrated product features or MCP servers
Background in building computation-heavy services where accuracy and performance are imperative
Experience expanding complex data models to fit evolving application use cases
Passionate about emerging tools that improve developer velocity, including AI-assisted coding
