Description:
We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer for a client in the financial technology industry. Seeking candidates with experience in full-stack development, scalable data systems, and technical leadership who are interested in fintech and data science.
As one of the early software engineers on the team, you'll have broad ownership and the chance to shape core systems from the ground up. The client is building everything from data ingestion and measurement pipelines, to analytics and visualizations, to infrastructure and machine learning tools.
This is a hands-on, full-stack role that requires versatility, initiative, and a builder's mindset. You'll help define engineering standards, develop foundational components of the platform, and contribute to a fast-evolving set of user experiences powered by AI-assisted ingestion and analytics. We are looking for someone who has passion, high energy, and the grit to deal with the ambiguity and change common in early-stage environments. At this client, no task is too small and nothing is outside your job scope. Everyone is expected to act like an owner and treat the business like their very own.
WHY AVERRO?
