Role
Who you are
- We want people who are excited by hard distributed systems problems: designing idempotent event-driven pipelines and building infrastructure that handles bursty workloads while meeting strict latency SLAs
- If you've built systems that reconcile state across service boundaries, worked on event-driven architectures at scale, or are passionate about solving complex authorization and data access problems, join us!
- 5+ years of professional backend software engineering experience
- B.S., or M.S. in Computer Science or similar technical field of study
- Experience with server-side languages like Java, Python, or C++
- Experience with relational databases (MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server)
- Ability to complete complex projects involving partners across multiple teams
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Bonus: Experience with building scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS
What the job involves
- We are currently seeking a senior backend software engineer to join Addepar's File Management System team!
- This team is responsible for Addepar's enterprise file management platform — building the distributed systems that power secure file storage, access control, and third-party integrations for wealth management firms
- In this role, you'll tackle challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and enterprise-scale access control — designing solutions that scale from small advisory firms to the largest wealth managers in the world
- Architect, implement, and maintain backend services that manage file storage, permissions synchronization, and third-party integrations at enterprise scale — writing well-designed, testable code
- Design and build event-driven systems for real-time permission propagation across Addepar's financial graph and external storage providers, meeting compliance revocation SLAs
- Collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, security, and compliance partners on projects involving sensitive data access controls
- Contribute to migration efforts (e.g., FileVault to Box, webhook consolidation, folder structure evolution) ensuring zero-downtime rollouts for production firms
- Mentor other engineers on the team and promote engineering best practices and principles
- Explore and build AI-powered capabilities for intelligent file processing, automated metadata extraction, and content-aware workflows
- Evaluate emerging third-party file platform capabilities to expand Addepar's file management offerings
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 analyse and visualise the data they need.
Addepar currently tracks around $6 trillion of assets serving over 800 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 will further accelerate its momentum as it continues to innovate its suite of solutions.
