Vice President, Software Engineer; Fullstack - .NET

About this role

Within the Aladdin Product Group – Alternatives, we are hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) to work on Invest Central, a core platform within the Insight ecosystem. This role is based in London and operates as part of a globally distributed engineering organisation.
Invest Central is at the heart of the Private Markets data platform, designed to streamline and automate complex data processing, validation, and workflow orchestration across the Private Market lifecycle.
This role is a hands‑on senior individual contributor function, with focus on designing, building, and operating software in a highly complex, data‑driven production environment.

You are an experienced software engineer who is comfortable working on large, long‑lived systems where correctness, traceability, and operational stability matter as much as delivery speed.
You enjoy understanding how data flows through systems, how workflows interact across services, and how design decisions affect downstream consumers. You are able to work autonomously in complex codebases, while collaborating closely with peers across engineering, product, and QA.
As a senior engineer, you contribute through hands‑on development, sound technical judgement, and constructive collaboration, rather than through formal authority. You take ownership of the quality of your work and understand the impact it has on business‑critical workflows.
