Investment Data Platform Lead

We are a fixed income asset manager in Austin, Texas, managing over $30 billion. We offer the sweet spot of institutional scale and real market impact, without big-firm layers, rigid silos, or bloated ticket queues.

We are looking for an investment-minded data professional to own the daily flow and evolution of our investment data platform. The platform sits at the center of our investment process: it connects custodian feeds, position and cash reconciliation, security master and reference data, our Snowflake warehouse, Microsoft Fabric pipelines, and the data models that power portfolio management, trading, research, client reporting, business intelligence, and firm leadership every day.

The right person brings an investment or fintech background and knows what the data actually represents. You may have come up through investment operations, portfolio accounting, middle office, performance and analytics, or a data team at an asset manager, custodian, fund administrator, or fintech. You understand how a trade moves from execution to settlement to the books, why a position break matters before the market opens, and what it takes to keep security, pricing, and holdings data trustworthy across systems.

You pair that domain knowledge with strong technical instincts, use modern tools, including AI, to work faster, and naturally look for ways to make processes smarter, more automated, and more reliable.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role reporting directly to our Chief Technology Officer. You will partner with the CTO on priorities and architecture while owning day-to-day platform reliability. You will keep data flowing, investigate breaks when they arise, improve and automate existing processes, and communicate clearly with the teams who depend on the platform. You will work side by side with portfolio managers, traders, research analysts, and operations staff.

The solutions you build will not sit in a backlog for months. They will show up in how we manage portfolios, analyze markets, and make decisions.

• Investment-literate data people. You speak the language of positions, lots, accruals, factors, and settlement, and you can tell when a number does not make sense before anyone asks.
• Control-minded operators. You think in reconciliations, tolerances, and audit trails, and you take pride in running reliable, secure systems that other people depend on every day.
• AI-first problem solvers. You treat AI assistants as a daily force multiplier to write code, debug issues, and ship clean solutions faster.
• Clear, calm communicators. You are comfortable sitting with portfolio managers, traders, and operations staff, translating investment questions into data requirements, and explaining issues in plain English.

• Daily data feeds. Manage the flow of positions, transactions, and cash from custodians and managed-account platforms into Snowflake, and out to our accounting and order management systems.
• Reconciliation and data quality. Own position, transaction, and cash reconciliation across custodian, accounting, and order management records. Catch breaks before they impact portfolios, investigate root causes, and build automated checks to keep them from recurring.
• Security master and reference data. Maintain clean security master, pricing, and classification data across Eagle, Charles River, Bloomberg, and Black Rock Aladdin, including new issues, corporate actions, factor and paydown updates, and ratings changes.
• The data warehouse and pipelines. Oversee our Snowflake models and Microsoft Fabric pipelines, including their design, schedules, access, and cost.
• Investment analytics and self‑service. Build and maintain well‑documented data models for holdings,…
