Role OverviewThis role sits within Private Wealth Technology and will design, build, and support modern, data-intensive web applications and internal tools used across our platforms. Working closely with both the technology team and the business partners we support, the Senior Associate will help translate business needs into scalable solutions spanning front-end development, data engineering, and system integrations.

- Develop and optimize SQL queries, database views, and data models to support reporting, workflow, and operational needs.
- Support system integrations using REST APIs and secure data exchange practices.
- Work with Microsoft Azure services, including Azure Web Apps, Azure Functions, and Azure Data Factory, building working proficiency over time.
- Contribute to data platform and warehousing initiatives involving relational databases and cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks.
- Partner with business stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate business processes into technical deliverables.
- Use AI tools to improve personal productivity in analysis, documentation, development, and troubleshooting, and help identify practical opportunities for AI within team workflows.
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, testing, and knowledge-sharing with the broader team.

- Experience with REST APIs and system integrations.
- Prior experience in financial services, asset management, or a related industry, with genuine interest in learning how an alternative asset management platform operates.

Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with AG Grid or similar interactive data grid libraries.
- Familiarity with Azure identity, access, and networking concepts (e.g., Entra ID / Azure AD, RBAC, VNets).
