## Description

We are seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to join our Equities Embedded Portfolio Management Solutions Team at Millennium.

The team is a specialized engineering group at the intersection of technology and quantitative finance. Its mission is to accelerate the research and trading strategies of Millennium's systematic Portfolio Management teams by serving as an internal center of excellence for expert-level solutions, architecture, and hands-on development in AI, cloud platforms including AWS and GCP, DevOps, and high-performance computing.

As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer, you will take on a role that is not a typical software development position; blend solutions architecture, software engineering, and client engagement as a hands-on, business-facing engineer, partnering directly with systematic Portfolio Management teams, quantitative researchers, developers, and portfolio managers as a trusted technical advisor.

Key responsibilities include:

- Understanding unique business and research needs and translating complex, sometimes ambiguous requirements into robust, scalable, and secure technical architectures across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

- Designing, building, and delivering high-quality, production-ready solutions across the full stack, including Python libraries, infrastructure as code with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, automation scripts, and ML/AI proof-of-concepts.

- Developing and maintaining managed products, reusable libraries, engineering patterns, and best practice guides that expand self-service capabilities and accelerate onboarding for new and existing teams.

- Owning embedded engagements from discovery and planning through implementation, knowledge transfer, and support, acting as the primary technical point of contact while removing blockers and navigating the firm's ecosystem on behalf of business partners.

The ideal candidate will have:

- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- 4+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong foundation in computer science principles including data structures, algorithms, and system design.

- High proficiency in an object-oriented programming language, with a strong preference for Python.

- Demonstrated experience in a customer-facing or business-facing role, with high emotional intelligence, a customer-first mindset, humility to meet business partners where they are, satisfaction in enabling the success of others, and willingness to go the extra mile to deliver an exceptional client experience.

In terms of benefits, Millennium offers a total compensation package which includes a base salary, discretionary performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits.

The estimated base salary range for this position is $175,000 to $250,000, which is specific to New York and may change in the future.
