Arrowstreet Capital is hiring: Principal Software Engineer in Boston

Overview The Principal Software Engineer will be a thought leader on architecture and development within the development team responsible for the compute platforms, workflow and observability systems, and multiple services (such as Discovery, AI and the others) for the Research group. Arrowstreet, a systematic asset manager, identifies investable trading strategies and implements them quickly and with the highest quality. A robust, scalable, and performant general compute platform and workflow system is thus of critical importance. The ideal candidate will have experience in building distributed systems, applications and infrastructure, with experience in Kubernetes and AWS Cloud, and in designing and implementing large-scale systems. The role is hands-on, working across multiple teams to define requirements, create the design, develop, test, build, deploy and support the functionality. The work includes developing Infrastructure-As-Code solutions, developing automated build and deploy pipelines with unit and integrated tests to ensure high quality and efficient operations, and being part of an on-call support rotation. Responsibilities Work closely with members of the Research group to review and define requirements for the compute platforms, workflow and observability systems, and multiple services (such as Discovery, AI and the others). Provide expert-level design that ensures the solution is scalable, cost effective, and has low maintenance. Lead technical design discussions within the team to gather feedback, discuss the merits and risks of different approaches, and reach consensus on the target architecture. Develop high-quality solutions in both on-premise environments and AWS Cloud using Python and other languages. Develop Infrastructure-As-Code solutions using Terraform, and develop the automated build and deploy pipelines with unit and integrated tests to ensure high quality and efficient operations. Provide guidance to other team members on development tasks. Promote high quality code via code reviews. Provide production support to prevent disruptions to investment processes. Qualifications Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related discipline. 8+ years of professional software development experience using Python or another object-oriented language; financial services exposure is a plus. 4+ years of experience leading design or architecture of large-scale production systems. 3+ years of experience developing large, high-performance, distributed systems. 3+ years of experience building high-performance cloud-native solutions on public cloud (AWS preferred). 3+ years of experience in container technologies like Kubernetes and Docker. 2+ years of experience building resilient CI/CD pipelines; strong knowledge of Git and familiarity with a DevOps platform (e.g., GitLab). 1+ years of experience with Helm and Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform preferred). Strong fundamentals in computer science such as data structures, algorithm design and complexity analysis. Ability to write elegant code, and comfort with picking up new technologies independently. Self-motivated and self-directed, with the ability to translate technical direction into functional solutions. #J-18808-Ljbffr
