Software Engineer - Client Reporting Platform

About Clear Street:

Clear Street is modernizing the brokerage ecosystem. Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets. We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today’s complex, global market. Our platform is fully integrated with central clearing houses and exchanges to support billions in trading volume per day. We’ve agonized about our data model abstractions, created horizontal scalability, and crafted thoughtful APIs. All so we can provide a best-in-class experience for our clients. By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we’re building the essentials to compete in today’s fast-paced markets.

The Role:

As an experienced Software Engineer, you will work with a team of passionate and highly collaborative engineers to build our core Platform for Client Reporting. Our platform handles all facets of client facing reports and we need to build more features as well as make it more scalable to handle future growth. We are building the bones of a world class reporting platform. Components include high throughput report generation and delivery, efficient offline analytical processing, and producing high level analytics. You will own the design and implementation of new features and services, turning the complexity of processing financial transactions across various asset classes into highly scalable services. You will tackle non-trivial problems that will challenge you to flex your system design muscles, balance trade offs, and implement clean efficient code. As a voice of experience in the team, you will help mentor teammates, evolve our technical standards and best practices, and further our culture of system designs.

The Team:

Our team is composed of highly talented and motivated engineers who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of financial technology. Working together, we have built a platform that serves institutional clients and is at the forefront of technological innovation. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, and make a meaningful impact on the financial industry. We value creativity, innovation, and a strong work ethic, and we are committed to providing our team members with the support and resources they need to succeed.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in data processing using SQL & dbt with Snowflake and Python.
  • Willingness to learn the combination of different technology platforms in use within the team such as Docker, Snowflake, Postgres, Kafka, Java, and Go.
  • Proven contributions to systems that deliver solutions to complex business problems handling massive amounts of data.
  • A strong inclination towards scale, distributed systems, and associated technologies.
  • Ability to clearly explain the nuances of system design and paradigms to engineers and stakeholders.
  • Prioritization of end-user experience, reflected in API design, functionality, and performance.
  • Strong command over design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Ease in communicating technical ideas and a collaborative approach to delivering high-quality products.

We Offer:

  • The opportunity to join a growing team of good people, where you can make a difference.
  • A new, high-quality code base with little technical debt and room to build new services and features.
  • An environment that embraces the utility of a DevOps oriented culture and combines it with a focus on CI/CD methodology.
  • A meritocratic philosophy that champions collaboration.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and perks.
