Summary:
We are seeking a Software Engineer to work alongside the Post-Trade Support team at a leading global alternative asset management firm.

Summary:
We are seeking a Software Engineer to work alongside the Post-Trade Support team at a leading global alternative asset management firm. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and trade operations: you will build and maintain the internal tooling, data pipelines, and automation that keep the post-trade support team running efficiently. Where the support team manages the queue, you manage the code behind it.
What You'll Do:
- Write and maintain Python and Java utilities that automate repetitive support workflows, data lookups, and reconciliation tasks.
- Build and optimize SQL queries against legacy relational databases to investigate trade data discrepancies and support root-cause analysis.
- Develop lightweight internal tools (dashboards, scripts, data extractors) that give the support team faster visibility into trade and booking data.
- Interface with the Everest OMS platform via available data layers and APIs to extract, transform, and surface relevant information.
- Translate recurring support patterns into reusable automation, reducing manual triage volume over time.
- Collaborate closely with Post-Trade Support Consultants to understand operational pain points and convert them into technical solutions.
- Escalate system change requests and platform issues to the senior engineering team with well-documented technical context.
- Apply working knowledge of capital markets instrument workflows (bonds, loans, equities) to ensure tooling accurately reflects trade lifecycle logic.
What You Bring:
- 5 to 7 years of hands-on engineering experience in Python and/or Java, with demonstrated ability to ship production-quality scripts and utilities.
- Strong SQL proficiency: writing complex queries, joining across multiple schemas, and interpreting legacy relational data models.
- Familiarity with post-trade concepts: trade booking, allocation, settlement, clearing and executing brokers, and broker account structures.
- Experience working within legacy or vendor-managed platform environments where full system access is constrained.
- Ability to translate operational requirements from non-technical stakeholders into clean, maintainable code.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills: you will document your work and collaborate daily with operations and support staff.
- Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where requirements are not always fully defined upfront.
- Only candidates available and ready to work directly as Genesis10 employees will be considered for this position.
Nice to Have:
- Prior engineering experience supporting the Everest OMS or similar order/trade management platforms in an investment management or private equity environment.
- Exposure to system migration or platform modernization projects.
- Experience building tooling for middle- or back-office operations teams.
- Familiarity with allocation-based or clearing workflow logic.
What This Role Is Not:
- This is not a pure software engineering role focused on platform architecture or greenfield product development.
- Must be comfortable spending meaningful time in close collaboration with operations staff, understanding manual workflows before automating them.
- This role does not involve direct modification of the Everest OMS or its vendor-managed components
Pay rate range: $80 - $110 hourly.
