    • Provide architectural guidance, conduct technical discovery, and ensure that all client requirements are understood and incorporated into the integration design.
  • Internally Focused Tool Development:
    • Build and maintain internal tools, scripts, and frameworks to streamline the integration process.
    • These tools will enhance efficiency and reduce manual effort by providing clean testing data and functionality to improve overall project timelines, supporting both development and production environments.
  • Hands-on Debugging & Technical Troubleshooting:
    • Act as the primary technical point of contact for debugging and resolving integration issues in client environments.
    • Work directly with customers to diagnose and fix issues that arise during the integration and deployment phases, ensuring smooth production rollouts.
  • Custom Solution Development:
    • Design tailored solutions for clients based on specific requirements and system constraints.
    • Translate high-level business needs into detailed technical designs that align with client infrastructure and ensure successful integration.
  • Coding Standards & Automation:
    • Establish and maintain best coding practices for the development of internal integration tools.
    • Automate repetitive tasks and optimize tool performance to accelerate integration timelines and reduce operational friction.
  • Collaborate with Core Engineering Teams:
    • Work closely with internal engineering teams to design, iterate, and refine the APIs and data models that underpin client integrations based on feedback and technical insights from client-facing projects.
    • Ensure APIs are robust, well-documented, and evolve the product by ensuring real-world customer requirements and challenges are reflected in future platform architecture.
  • Monitoring & Optimization:
    • Implement and monitor real-time integration performance for external clients.
    • Identify bottlenecks, optimize data flows, and ensure systems can scale according to the growing needs of customers.
  • Support Security & Compliance:
    • Ensure that all externally facing integration solutions adhere to the highest security standards, including encryption and access control, and comply with industry-specific regulations.
    • Address any potential vulnerabilities or compliance gaps proactively.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • API Expertise: 5-10 years of experience in data integration with strong focus on Python API implementation (preferably RESTful APIs and FastAPI)
  • Data Model Mastery: Proven expertise in managing data models and system workflows in the alternative investment ecosystem, working with fund administrators, custodians, and other service providers
  • Cloud Architecture Experience: Experience developing within modern cloud-based architectures (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Technical Leadership: A strong track record of leading complex integration projects from start to finish, including requirements gathering, design, and implementation
  • Solving: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex integration issues and provide scalable, reliable solutions
  • Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable tasks for cross-functional teams and clients
  • Customer Success Orientation: A customer-centric mindset with experience in post-sales or forward-deployed engineering roles to ensure the successful deployment of the product
  • Project Management: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring technical excellence and meeting client deadlines

Preferred Skills:

  • Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with the alternative investments space and experience working with industry stakeholders like fund administrators and custodians
  • Database Experience: Knowledge of relational databases and data modeling practices
  • Entrepreneurial Mindset: The ability to take ownership of projects and continuously look for opportunities to innovate and improve integration processes
