BlackRock – Aladdin Wealth | New York, NY / San Francisco, CA / Atlanta, GA | Full-time ONSITE, VISA | Front-end Software Engineer / Senior Back-end Software Engineer / Data Engineer |
We have 5-7 positions available immediately on my team building Aladdin Wealth (<a href="), a revenue-generating FinTech SaaS product for the wealth management industry. We apply BlackRock's sophisticated risk analytics to millions of individual investors' portfolios to help them and their financial advisors create better portfolios. We have live production clients in countries around the world and we process and analyze millions of real customer portfolios using Spark on a daily basis.
The front-end roles are focused on our web apps building out new features and better user experiences in React framework. We're looking for people who are super proficient in React/ES6/TypeScript and want to work with and leverage modern tools and techniques to the fullest. Front-end team also works on and owns various Java-based application servers, so there is a full-stack component, as well, but it leans more to the frontend side.
The back-end roles are for experienced engineers to architect, develop, and deploy scalable services and APIs. We work with a wide array of technologies (Java, Scala, Kotlin, Spark, Hadoop, Cassandra, Solr, Python), but solid Java is the backbone.
There is one Data Engineering role (3-5 years experience) available in NYC.  This role is focused on building process automation, data ETL, and some data science &amp; analysis, primarily in Python with occasional R and Perl.
In all of the roles, diving deep into the business, learning Aladdin, portfolio management, investment analytics (factor risk models, VaR, tracking error, historical scenarios, etc), and the wealth management industry, will be a big part of your success.  Reach out to me directly if interested. I lead the global team that is hiring these roles: REDACTED_EMAIL.

Note for VISA applicants: We can only consider applicants that are already in the US with existing work authorization (H1B transfers, OPT, etc).
On REMOTE work: We do not offer fully remote work, so you must be in the US already and able to work from NY, SF, or ATL area.  Of course, we are working remotely during Covid, but expect to be at least partially in office this year.
