Backend Software Engineer - Precompute

The Role

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Precompute team within our Core Product Engineering organization.

Our team is focused on building high-performance data and compute infrastructure that powers large-scale analytics, APIs, and downstream product experiences for our global customer base of Financial Advisors and Wealth Managers.

We partner closely with a world-class team of engineers, designers, and product managers, and put system performance, scalability, and reliability at the forefront of every initiative.

Our platform is rapidly evolving to support increasingly complex workloads, and as we modernize our architecture, we are enabling new capabilities through high-throughput data pipelines, efficient compute primitives, and flexible APIs. We pride ourselves on delivering robust, scalable, and highly performant systems.

The Precompute team builds and operates the foundational computation layer that accelerates financial analytics across the platform, with a strong emphasis on vectorisation, parallelism, and distributed processing. Our systems form the backbone of how data is processed and served at scale.
