Role OverviewPlatform Services builds and supports the business tools the firm uses day to day such as web applications, reporting and workflow tools, the data that sits behind them, and an emerging layer of AI-assisted tooling. It is a small team working close to its users, and it owns what it builds end to end. You will work alongside experienced engineers on live, in-use applications: building features, improving the data underneath them, supporting the people who rely on them, and strengthening the development and release practices around them.
The role is deliberately broad. In each week you might write a query, ship a front-end change, debug a deployment, and talk a colleague through a problem.
Responsibilities- Build and maintain features across a suite of internal web applications used across the business.
- Deliver the steady stream of small, high-visibility requests: new fields, layout and usability improvements, filtering, export and upload handling.
- Improve query and page performance on tools that are used daily.
- Write and tune SQL to answer business questions and diagnose issues in operational and reference data.
- Investigate and resolve data-quality problems - malformed values, mismatched identifiers, records failing validation.
- Support the flows that move data between internal systems, and help build the derived or historical datasets that source systems do not retain themselves.
- Contribute to the integration layer that connects internal systems to LLM-based tooling - building and testing tool interfaces, improving error handling, and extending logging and administration.
- Support internal AI assistant features through functional testing, access-control testing, and triage of reported behavior.
- Package and document tooling so non-technical colleagues can use it without hands-on help.
- Act as first-line support for internal users - access requests, permissions, and environment or configuration problems.
- Handle account and role provisioning and the associated directory group changes.
- Own routine operational tasks: deployments, scheduled restarts, cache management, and monitoring of automated jobs.
- Keep runbooks, release notes, and status updates current.
- Help mature the codebase - source control conventions, branching, code review, and continuous integration.
- Stand up development environments so changes can be tested properly before release.
- Add automated testing, starting with the paths that break most often.
Qualifications- 1+ year of experience in a similar position.
- Strong Python skills and comfortable working in a web application codebase (HTML/CSS/JavaScript).
- Strong proficiency in Python - joins, aggregation, window functions, reading an execution plan.
- Ability to take a vague request to a working, deployed result without being managed through every step.
- Ability to explain a technical constraint in plain language, and follow up without being chased.
- Exposure to financial services is preferred - trade lifecycle, securities reference data, or fund and portfolio structures.
- Experience with Docker, Linux, and cloud infrastructure.
- Practical experience with LLM tooling - agent frameworks, tool-calling integrations, or building against an LLM API.
- Familiarity with issue tracking and documentation tooling.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- High level of intellectual curiosity, strong work ethic, and keen attention to detail.
- Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, fast-paced, and dynamic environment.
