What the job involves

- From building custom data integrations to extending platform capabilities; an FDE operates with the autonomy and ownership to drive ground-breaking change for Addepar's customers
- As an FDE, you will work in small teams with minimal supervision to set priorities, lead client interactions, and be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of critically important projects
- Each engagement will take on a slightly different shape, providing a wide breadth of opportunities to solve complex technical challenges, explore new and emerging technologies, and most importantly deliver high value customer outcomes

- You will spend time collaborating with teams across Addepar's engineering and product organization; providing valuable insight to inform design strategy and contributing directly to the core product code base
- FDE operates as an extension of the platform rather than a services organization
- This distinction allows FDE to partner with customers in a highly collaborative fashion with a focus on measurable outcomes, rather than billable hours
- You will partner with other members of the FDE team to continuously evaluate the dynamic landscape of opportunities, strategic priorities, and commitments - ensuring that the team is always focused on solving the most important & impactful problems
Our take
Investment advisers require speed, clarity and flexibility when managing client portfolios. Addepar is a wealth management software platform created with these requirements in mind. The platform aggregates portfolio, market, and client data in one place, allowing financial professionals to analyze and visualize the data they need.
Addepar currently tracks around $9 trillion of assets serving over 1,400 clients, including individual advisers, family offices, and large institutions such as AllianceBernstein, Bartlett Wealth Management, and Morgan Stanley.
The multi-unicorn company has been pursuing global expansion, opening its first office outside of the United States in Scotland in 2021 and a new London office in late 2022. It appointed new leadership members from companies like Oracle and Amazon Web Services. A Series G investment in 2025 is helping further accelerate its momentum as it continues to innovate its suite of solutions.
