Job Description

We're seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President, Fullstack Engineer to join our Fund & Investor Solutions team. This role is located in Boston, MA

In this role, you'll make an impact in the following ways:
  • Consult with internal business groups to provide high-level application software development services and technical support
  • Program well-designed, testable, efficient code and integrate software components into fully functional software systems
  • Analyze, design, and develop tests and test-automation suites; develop flowcharts, layouts, and documentation to satisfy requirements and solutions
  • Maintain software functionality and currency, actively participate in code reviews, and apply security and privacy principles
  • Core Java and Spring Boot: REST controllers, dependency injection, configuration management, data access (JPA/JDBC), concurrency basics, and exception handling.
  • Implement well-architected Java/Spring Boot microservices and APIs: build features, fix defects, and deliver production-ready code with strong testing.
  • Apply AI-assisted coding and AI coding practices to speed up development (prompting, code suggestions, test generation), while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability.
  • Integrate AI features in applications (e.g., inference endpoints, prompt orchestration, RAG flows, embeddings) with guardrails, input/output validation, and auditability.
  • Contribute to data access design and performance (RDBMS basics): write efficient queries, tune connection pools, and implement transactional integrity and error handling.
  • Collaborate closely with tech leads and product partners to refine requirements, acceptance criteria, and sprint goals; maintain clean documentation (API contracts, ADRs, readmes).
  • Support CI/CD pipeline tasks (builds, tests, artifacts, environment configs) and contribute to automated quality gates and release safety.


To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience required
  • 5 - 9 years of hands-on experience building software with Java/Spring/Spring Boot
  • Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools and integration of AI features with responsible-use practices.
  • Working knowledge of RDBMS (Oracle or equivalent) and secure, performant data access in services.
  • Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability.
  • Prompt engineering for code/tests with verification steps; avoid blind acceptance of generated code.
  • Implement guardrails for AI-enabled features (policy checks, content filters, PII safety) and robust telemetry of prompts/responses.
  • Design deterministic wrappers around model calls (timeouts, retries, backoff, caching) and capture traceability for audit/compliance.
  • Collaborate on evaluation harnesses for AI features (quality metrics, latency budgets, failure modes).
  • Thorough knowledge of both frontend and backend development in Java, NodeJS, CSS, JSON, Angular, and JavaScript
  • Proficiency in application frameworks and containerization, with broad experience in multi-platform development tools and toolkits
  • Prior lead experience selecting and implementing vendor-specific methodologies and prior consulting experience with structured methodologies
  • Experience in the securities or financial services industry is a plus
