Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, Documents

The Team You'll Work With

You’ll be joining the Fund Admin Documents team as a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer. 

Our team is focused on creating a centralized platform for managing the large quantity of documents that our fund administration clients need to use to effectively manage their venture capital funds, so that our clients have visibility into the documents which serve as a source of truth for the management of their funds. In addition, we aim to leverage machine learning in the analysis and extraction of data from these documents in order to automate and streamline various processes that would otherwise be manual and time-consuming, such as audits and new client onboarding.

We are a small team with the potential to make a major impact in how we play to win the fund administration market. We are a highly collaborative and dynamic team that values technical excellence and delivering quality solutions for our customers. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll find it in the Fund Admin Documents team.
