Join to apply for the Senior Trading Platform Engineer role at Soros Fund Management

Soros Fund Management LLC (SFM) is a global asset manager and family office founded by George Soros in 1970. With $28 billion in assets under management (AUM), SFM serves as the principal asset manager for the Open Society Foundations, one of the world’s largest charitable foundations dedicated to advancing justice, human rights, and democracy. Distinct from other investment platforms, SFM thrives on agility, acting decisively when conviction is high and exercising patience when it’s not.

With permanent capital, a select group of major clients, and an unconstrained mandate, we invest opportunistically with a long‑term view in a wide range of strategies and asset classes, including public and private equity and credit, fixed income, foreign exchange, and alternative assets. Our teams operate with autonomy, while cross‑team collaboration strengthens our conviction and empowers us to capitalize on market dislocations.

At SFM, we foster an ownership mindset, encouraging professionals to challenge the status quo, innovate, and take initiative. We prioritize development, enabling team members to push beyond their roles, voice bold ideas, and contribute to our long‑term success. This culture of continuous growth and constructive debate fuels innovation and drives efficiencies. Our impact is measured by both the returns we generate and the values we uphold, from environmental stewardship to social responsibility.

Operating as a unified team across geographies and mandates, we remain committed to our mission, ensuring a meaningful, lasting impact. Headquartered in New York City with offices in Greenwich, Garden City, London, and Dublin, SFM employs 200 professionals.

The Core Development team builds and supports the technology that powers the full trade lifecycle—from trade origination to warehousing. We work closely with Portfolio Managers, Traders, Compliance, Treasury, and Trade Operations to ensure seamless trade flow across asset classes. Our technology stack is a blend of vendor and homegrown systems: we leverage vendor‑provided Order Management (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS) as the backbone of trade flow, while building custom applications that augment OMS/EMS workflows and bespoke systems to support treasury, compliance, and trade operations processes.

This combination allows us to deliver both breadth and flexibility, meeting the evolving needs of the business.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in trade flow, including Order Management Systems (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS). The ideal candidate will lead the design, architecture, and delivery of scalable applications that are critical to trading, compliance, treasury, and trade operations. This role requires advanced technical leadership, strong business insight, and exceptional communication skills, as you will partner directly with traders, operations teams, and technology leadership to shape solutions that drive the firm’s multi‑asset‑class trading strategy.

This role will report to the Head of Trade Execution Technology.

• Lead impactful initiatives that support trading, compliance, treasury, and trade operations across the firm.
• Architect, build, and oversee trade flow applications and reporting tools as part of the Core Development team.
• Drive the design and enhancement of OMS and EMS workflows across multiple asset classes, ensuring seamless integration of vendor and in‑house systems.
• Extend vendor OMS/EMS functionality by architecting custom augmentations and building bespoke systems for mission‑critical workflows in treasury, compliance, and trade operations.
• Partner with cross‑functional technology and business teams to define and deliver a modern, unified, and scalable trade platform.
• Provide technical leadership in leveraging SQL Server, Snowflake, AWS, and modern UI frameworks (e.g., Angular, React) to deliver end‑to‑end solutions.
• Lead efforts to modernize legacy systems by migrating to AWS and Snowflake,…
