Vestmark is building the AI-native future of wealth management technology. We are looking for a Senior Java Software Engineer who is serious about AI-assisted development, curious about how software engineering is changing, and ready to do real work on systems that matter. You will not be handed a ticket queue. You will be expected to think, build, and grow quickly in an environment where AI fluency is the baseline, not the aspiration.
Vestmark is a leading provider of wealth management solutions and services that enable financial advisors and institutions to efficiently manage and trade their clients' portfolios using a purpose-built SaaS ecosystem. With over $2 trillion in assets and 5+ million accounts, we are a trusted partner to some of the largest and most respected players across the wealth management industry.
What You’ll Do
Build Agentic Systems
- Contribute to the design and delivery of agentic systems: workflows where AI plans, executes, and iterates toward outcomes rather than simply responding to requests
- Build and ship production-quality solutions as part of a squad working on real efficiency and automation problems with direct business impact
- Participate in the full delivery lifecycle: design discussions, development, testing, deployment, and iteration
Apply AI-Native Development Practices
- Use AI-assisted development tools, including code generation, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks, as a standard part of your daily workflow from day one
- Learn and apply the team’s standards for building AI-native systems: state management, observability, non-determinism, and inference cost awareness
- Engage with testing and validation approaches specific to adaptive systems where behavior is not fully deterministic
Contribute to Reusable Foundations
- Create clean, testable, maintainable solutions that strengthen the team's shared foundation; treat code quality as a direct contribution to everyone who touches this codebase after you
- Apply the principle “fix the process, don’t automate the broken one”: understand the problem deeply before proposing a solution
- Participate in code reviews as both a reviewer and a recipient; treat both as learning opportunities
Grow & Contribute to the Team
- Engage actively in design reviews and architecture discussions, asking questions and developing your point of view over time
- Take feedback seriously and apply it quickly; growth velocity matters here as much as current skill level
- Contribute to the growth and development of our core values:
