About this role
At AQR Capital Management, you'd be building and maintaining the software infrastructure that powers their investment management operations. The role spans multiple critical systems—treasury, trade matching, settlement, portfolio accounting, and fund performance—so you'd work across a diverse set of business functions while also helping shape the firm's technology direction. This is hands-on development work: designing web applications in C# and JavaScript, working with Angular or ASP.NET Core, managing cloud deployments on AWS, containerizing with Docker, and writing tests using frameworks like NUnit.
The position calls for a Computer Science or related degree plus two years of professional experience building business web applications with C# and JavaScript. You should be comfortable with Git, automated testing, and modernizing legacy systems. Beyond new development, you'll spend time supporting business teams, debugging production issues, and conducting code reviews. The work is based in Greenwich with flexibility to work remotely two days per week.
This role suits someone who wants to work at the intersection of finance and technology, with exposure to real trading and portfolio systems at scale. If you're looking to deepen your full-stack development skills in a rigorous, intellectually demanding environment, and you have the foundational experience in C#, JavaScript, and version control, it's worth considering.
