Jain Global is seeking a Senior Core Developer to design and evolve the firm's internal core platform, enabling high-impact, scalable software solutions for front, middle, and back-office teams. The role aims to improve the speed and quality of internal application development by providing product-oriented engineering solutions.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering skills in Python; experience with C++, Java, C-Sharp, or other compiled languages a plus.
- Familiar with multi-threading concepts building high throughput, low latency systems; experience with backend frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Node.js).
- Hands-on experience with building cloud-native apps, containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Spinnaker, or equivalent tools), and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, GCP experience welcome).
- Experience integrating generative AI and LLMs into modern technical solutions (e.g., LLM orchestration, RAG, embeddings, vector databases).
- Familiarity with RBAC/ABAC, microservice architecture, and service mesh patterns.
- 6+ years of experience as a software or core platform engineer in complex, high-performance environments (e.g., hedge funds, fintech, capital markets, enterprise SaaS, or large-scale data/AI platforms).
- Proven success delivering internal tooling or shared platforms with a clear focus on user needs and business alignment.
Responsibilities
- Design and build internal core platform services (e.g., authentication, user permissions, UI frameworks, data access layers) that power business-critical applications.
- Own core components of the application stack including service orchestration, observability, error handling, deployment pipelines, and shared libraries.
- Define standards for application architecture, frontend/backend patterns, and platform onboarding for internal developer teams.
- Drive the delivery of reusable frameworks that reduce development time and promote consistency across teams.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, data, and security teams to ensure resilience, security, and scalability of platform components.
- Mentor engineers and champion best practices across product development, testing, and operational support.
- Design and integrate generative AI workflows, vector databases, and LLM-powered services to accelerate internal application development.
Other
- Partner with PMs, operations, risk, compliance, investment teams, and other enterprise-scale business functions (e.g., marketing, or data platforms) to understand use cases, prioritize features, and deliver thoughtful, well-scoped solutions.
- Excellent communication skills; ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences and drive cross-functional initiatives.
- Experience working with non-technical stakeholders (e.g., operations, risk, compliance, finance) to co-design workflows and applications.
- Prior experience in building application platforms or shared component libraries in fast-growing organizations.
- Knowledge of operational or risk-related workflows in a hedge fund, financial institution or similarly regulated/high-performance industries.
