What the job involves
- Addepar is seeking a Staff Backend Software Engineer to join our Partner Platform team—one of the most cross-functional, high-impact groups in our organization. This team works across engineering, operations, and product to build scalable solutions on top of Addepar’s evolving data lakehouse architecture
- You’ll design and deliver backend systems that enable seamless integration of internal and external data sources, support complex client data transformations, and unlock powerful analytics capabilities. You’ll also partner directly with teams across the company—from building embedded dashboards to driving strategic acquisition-related projects
- We work in Python, PySpark, AWS, and Terraform using Agile methodologies, but we welcome strong engineers with experience in other backend stacks who are excited to learn
- Build scalable data integration pipelines that support mission-critical projects across the organization
- Own and contribute to end-to-end engineering projects using the Addepar data lakehouse

- Participate in the design, development, and optimization of tools and systems for account conversions, historical data imports, and embedded integrations
- Maintain and expand the foundational codebase supporting the data lakehouse ecosystem
- Examples:
- Account Conversion Platform: Engineered the system that enables client data from acquired firms to be merged into Addepar—a complex, high-visibility initiative
- Embedded Integration System: Helped internal teams transition to modern dashboards powered by Addepar’s lakehouse, including designing a repeatable integration pattern to support scalable analytics
- Historical Data Conversion: Currently the company’s #1 priority—migrating large, complex datasets from competitor platforms and internal systems into Addepar with accuracy, scale, and performance
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.
