Parametric is part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the asset management division of Morgan Stanley. We partner with advisors, institutions, and consultants to build portfolios focused on what's important to them and their clients. A leader in custom solutions for more than 30 years, we help investors access efficient market exposures, solve implementation challenges, and design multi-asset portfolios that respond to their evolving needs.

We also offer systematic alpha and alternative strategies to complement clients' core holdings.

This role is part of Parametric's hybrid working model, which includes working in the office 3 days a week and choosing to work remotely or in the office the remaining days of the week.

• Is accountable for the reliability and strategic evolution of the accounting platforms Parametric's investment business depends on - a portfolio of vendor-provided, third-party systems alongside one platform built and maintained internally by Parametric engineering teams.
• Ensures the accounting platforms support the full breadth of the business: equities, fixed income, options, and derivatives, across both domestic and international investment strategies.
• Owns these platforms end to end: operational health and vendor relationships on one side, and the software that integrates them on the other.
• Is leading a multi-year initiative to align accounting capabilities with Radius, Parametric's strategic platform, so the business operates on vendor-neutral workflows and services.
• Works directly with business leaders, solution managers, accounting data consumers, and hundreds of platform users, because the change it is delivering is as much a change to business workflow as it is to software.

The Accounting Platforms team is accountable for the operation, stability, and strategic evolution of Parametric's accounting systems. The Manager, Software Engineering will lead the engineering team responsible for these platforms - owning delivery, operations, and people leadership across a portfolio that spans platform reliability, business-as-usual demand, and a multi-year modernization initiative. Parametric's business is growing quickly, and the manager is accountable for ensuring the accounting platforms scale to match - supporting higher transaction volumes and data throughput efficiently and without sacrificing reliability.

This is a hands‑on technical delivery leadership position - a management role that stays close to the technical detail, engaged in options, design review, and platform behavior, rather than serving as the team's expert engineer. The role leads the discovery and organizational change that alignment requires, and it is accountable for the two engineering capabilities on which it depends: making high‑value accounting datasets available to the business consumers who need them, and the Radius Accounting Service, whose APIs and Kafka interfaces expose accounting capability in Parametric's own trade and transaction language rather than any accounting platform's.

This role requires a leader who can establish direction, build alignment across business and technology stakeholders, and drive execution across a portfolio of operational, strategic, and technology initiatives. Success depends on balancing platform…
