Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate treats AI coding tools as core infrastructure for how they work — not a novelty. You've shipped full-stack applications, you're comfortable navigating ambiguity, and you have a bias toward action that compounds across a small team
- You have 4+ years of hands-on software development experience with a proven track record of shipping customer-facing applications — and the impact to show for it
- You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
- You have an AI-accelerated workflow — you actively use AI coding tools to ship faster, not as an experiment, but as how you work every day
- You thrive in ambiguity — you can take a vague business problem, break it down, and deliver a working solution without heavy-handed direction
- You are a strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders, translate between business needs and engineering tradeoffs, and drive alignment
- You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
- You have a bias toward action and ownership — you see a problem, you fix it; you see an opportunity, you ship it
- You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline
What the job involves
- We're looking for a seasoned, high-output engineer who can operate within our product portfolio — from our Public Investor platform and Signals application to our AI-powered customer insights agent. You'll execute on well-defined work, but the expectation is that you go well beyond that — proactively identifying opportunities, improving systems, and driving outcomes that move the business forward
- You'll be responsible for production-grade systems that our customers and internal teams depend on daily. That means being responsive, reliable, and an excellent communicator — both when things are going well and especially when they're not
- Own features and systems end-to-end across multiple product surfaces — architecture, implementation, deployment, and iteration
- Design systems that are clean, maintainable, and built to scale — you know how software should be structured
- Work directly with stakeholders across engineering, product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into shipped software
- Drive initiatives across teams — you're not waiting for a PM to write a spec; you're in the room shaping what gets built and why
- Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier — for implementation, code review, testing, documentation, and exploration
- Operate across the full stack: backend services, frontend applications, data pipelines, and infrastructure
- Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and maintainability in a fast-moving environment
- Raise the bar for the engineering team through code quality, tooling improvements, and knowledge sharing
Our take
Annual expenditure on data sets amongst US asset managers has grown to over $1 Billion since the turn of the decade, and is only increasing. Alternative data providers like YipitData are providing answers to such investors.
By focusing on disruptive, digital-first sectors, the company provides maximum value to their clients. This is because, in recent times, many of the highest-growth opportunities have been the hardest to price. By supporting this pricing, YipitData is a stand-out.
Thus, the company has emerged as a leading provider of highly accurate and detailed research and analytics in the rapidly evolving landscape of disruptive and digitally enabled sectors. With an impressive client base in the hundreds and significant funding behind it, YipitData is poised to expand innovation and venture into new markets.
