  • Design and implement REST and gRPC services using ASP.NET Core with clean architecture and domain‑driven principles.

  • Apply resiliency and security patterns such as retry, circuit breaker, idempotency, and least‑privilege access.

  • Build responsive, accessible Angular (v16+) applications and micro‑frontends using RxJS and modern UI patterns.

  • Leverage AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Copilot Chat, Cursor, CodeWhisperer) to accelerate coding, testing, refactoring, documentation, and reviews.

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated quality and security gates.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands‑on full‑stack software development experience.

  • 5+ years designing and implementing complex, distributed systems.

  • Strong experience with .NET/C#, Angular, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL & NoSQL databases.

  • 5+ years of AWS cloud development and deployment experience (EKS, RDS/Aurora, S3, EventBridge, Athena, Glue).

  • Experience building ETL and data pipelines from structured and unstructured data sources.

Core Competencies

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

  • Excellent analytical, estimation, and problem‑solving abilities.

  • Proven ability to plan, prioritize, and execute in a fast‑paced environment.

  • Team‑oriented mindset with a passion for continuous learning and improvement.

Preferences

  • Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes).

  • Experience in financial services, wealth management, or asset management.

  • Reporting and data experience; Python (PySpark/NumPy) a plus.

About LPL Financial

LPL Financial is the largest organization of independent financial advisors in the United States. LPL Financial was formed in 1989 through the merger of two brokerage firms: Linsco (established in 1968) and Private Ledger (established in 1973); and has since expanded its number of independent financial advisors from a few hundred to more than 13,300 in 2012. LPL Financial has main office locations in Boston, Charlotte, and San Diego. Approximately 2,900 employees support financial advisors; financial institutions; and technology, custody, and clearing service subscribers with enabling technology, comprehensive clearing and compliance services, practice management programs and training, and independent research. LPL Financial advisors help clients meet investment goals with a number of financial services, including equities, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, insurance, and fee-based programs. Unlike many other brokerage firms, LPL Financial does not develop its own investment products, enabling the firm’s investment professionals to offer financial advice free from broker/dealer-inspired conflicts of interest.
