The posting

Job Description Summary

For over forty years, HarbourVest has been home to a committed team of professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to deliver impactful solutions to our clients and investing partners. As our global firm grows, we continue to add individuals who seek a collaborative, open-door culture that values diversity and innovative thinking.

In our collegial environment that’s marked by low turnover and high energy, you’ll be inspired to grow and thrive. Here, you will be encouraged to build on your strengths and acquire new skills and experiences.

We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion that promotes mutual respect among all employees. Understanding and valuing these differences optimizes the potential of both the individual and the firm.

HarbourVest is an equal opportunity employer.

This position will be a hybrid work arrangement. You will receive 18 remote workdays per quarter to use at your discretion, subject to manager approval. For example, you may choose to work in the office 4 days per week and take one remote day weekly (typically 13 weeks per quarter), leaving 5 additional remote days to be used as needed.

The Quantitative Developer will be a member of the Quantitative Investment Science team, building both the user-facing applications of our cloud-based investment analytics platform and the foundations beneath them - APIs, backend services, data integrations, and cloud infrastructure. The role spans designing intuitive, data-rich workflows and reusable UI components as well as the services and pipelines that power them.

This engineer will translate business requirements into reliable, performant, and maintainable solutions, select the appropriate tools and technologies, and use prototypes to evaluate new approaches. They flourish in an evolving, fast-paced environment and bring a work style marked by technical curiosity, thoughtful problem solving, continuous learning, and collaboration.

The ideal candidate is someone who has:

  • Strong analytical skills and curiosity about how systems work end to end
  • Experience building modern web applications and reusable UI components using React and TypeScript
  • Strong SQL skills, including complex queries and data access patterns
  • Python experience building enterprise-level, production-quality software
  • Excellent collaboration skills - you'll work closely with product and development to shape requirements and deliver solutions
  • Attention to detail and systematic thinking
  • A love for turning requirements into well-defined, durable systems
  • Familiarity with data modeling, data management, and data warehouse concepts
  • Experience developing applications on Azure or comparable cloud environments using Git, CI/CD, and other DevOps practices
  • Experience with messaging technologies such as Kafka, Azure Event Grid, or equivalent is a plus
  • Interest in finance and building efficient products that users love

What you will do:

  • Design, build, and maintain user-facing applications and the backend services and APIs that support them
  • Develop reusable UI components and shared platform capabilities used across applications
  • Support gradual rollouts and feature flags to ship changes safely as the platform evolves
  • Build and improve data pipelines and integrations across the platform, and contribute to logical and physical data models
  • Work directly with product and design to understand problems, shape requirements, and turn them into clear technical designs
  • Partner with product to review, triage, and resolve issues and defects
  • Manage delivery expectations and drive projects through completion
  • Contribute to a strong engineering culture through code review, knowledge sharing, and documentation that lets teams build with confidence
  • Improve developer tooling, CI/CD, automated testing, and observability (logging, metrics, and telemetry) that keep applications and services reliable

Education Preferred

  • Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or equivalent experience
  • Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or equivalent experience

Experience

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience building data-rich platforms or products
  • 3+ years of SQL using complex queries against large datasets
  • 3+ years of Python and/or TypeScript experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
