The Role

We are currently seeking a visionary and hands-on Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in Java and distributed systems to lead technical initiatives within our Order Management System (OMS) team in Trading!

We are building a high-performance Trading Order Lifecycle Management system designed to bridge the gap between investment intent and market execution. Our platform serves as the mission-critical link between our portfolio managers and executing brokers, ensuring every trade is executed, allocated, and reported with absolute precision, low latency, and high fault tolerance.

We’re looking for a strategic technical leader who remains deeply hands-on and is passionate about solving highly complex, ambiguous engineering challenges. You will drive the architectural vision, establish high-quality engineering standards, and work closely with product and design leadership to deliver impactful business outcomes. You will champion Agile methodologies and the adoption of AI-assisted development tools across the organization to amplify engineering delivery.

This role requires someone to work Eastern working hours.

Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base salary for roles in Colorado, California, and New York.

The current range for this role is $126,000 - $197,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.

Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Additionally, these ranges reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring current or future visa sponsorship (for example, employment-based visas such as H-1B, F-1/OPT, or similar), and must be authorized to begin work in the U.S. on their first day of employment.

PHISHING SCAM WARNING: Addepar is among several companies recently made aware of a phishing scam involving con artists posing as hiring managers recruiting via email, text and social media. The imposters are creating misleading email accounts, conducting remote “interviews,” and making fake job offers in order to collect personal and financial information from unsuspecting individuals. Please be aware that no job offers will be made from Addepar without a formal interview process. Additionally, Addepar will not ask you to purchase equipment or supplies as part of your onboarding process. If you have any questions, please reach out to ta-operations@addepar.com.
