Senior Software Engineer

the company | Senior Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA (HYBRID) / Hyderabad, India | 1 LA + 2 Hyderabad I'm Julien — I lead Product Engineering at Oaktree. My background is tech, not finance: startups, Meta, data infrastructure companies. I'm hands‑on and building a flat, small team that operates like an engineering org, not a bank IT department. If you come from a tech background, this post is for you. We're building the next‑generation platform for Oaktree's credit business (private credit included) — one of the largest and most complex investment strategies at a firm managing $220B+ in assets. This is a newly formed Product Engineering group, and we're modernizing everything: practices, architecture, tooling, culture. In the past month alone we've stood up a new CI/CD system, evolved the architecture, and gone from release cycles measured in months to hours. We're shipping rapidly and the pace is accelerating. The work: data‑intensive applications across the full stack of a credit investment platform — ingestion, transformation, analytics, and the tools that put insights into the hands of investment professionals. No traditional PMs — you work directly with business stakeholders, own priorities, and ship. This is a hands‑on, code‑every‑day role. What we're looking for: 10+ years building and owning data‑intensive systems in production Strong CS fundamentals (data structures, distributed systems, concurrency, performance) Deep expertise in data modeling, pipeline architecture, and systems that process/transform/serve large volumes of data Python + at least one statically typed/compiled language (C#/.NET, C++, Java, Scala, Go) Cloud‑native experience (our environment is Azure, but what matters is you've operated at scale) Comfortable with ambiguity, direct stakeholder engagement, and owning outcomes end‑to‑end Genuine interest in applying generative AI practically across engineering and product workflows A note on title: the internal title is Vice President, which is standard in finance. In substance this is a Senior/Staff Engineer IC role. Locations: 1 role in Los Angeles (hybrid Tue-Thu, DTLA office) + 2 roles in Hyderabad, India. Interview process: 0. Recruiter screen 1. Behavioral + coding (30 min each, can be split or combined) 2. Onsite: system design take‑home + panel, stakeholder meeting, hiring manager Please email me View email address on click.appcast.io #J-18808-Ljbffr
