Job Description

About the Team:

Eze Eclipse™ is a born-in-the-cloud investment solution that supports start-up, emerging equity-, and event-focused hedge funds’ full investment process in a single, unified platform through a secure web browser interface.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the platform services team, you will run the day-to-day operations on the team and play a key role in architecting, designing, and implementing the core infrastructure that powers the Eclipse™ family of products and services. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams of engineers, designers, and product managers to ensure the scalability, reliability, and performance of the platform, enabling us to deliver exceptional user experiences to our rapidly growing customer base.

The mission of the platform services team is to provide a suite of reusable software components which enable all Eclipse™ engineering teams to build microservices that meet our requirements for scalability, testability, and observability in a highly automated CI/CD environment.

Platform services increasingly mean designing for AI agents as well as human engineers — paved-path reference architectures, agent-accessible APIs, and living documentation that stays in sync with the code. As an associate director, you’ll help shape how the team adopts AI-driven software development practices without compromising quality.
