Established in 2017, Nearwater has distinguished itself as a leader in delivering thoughtful, solutions-based financing to some of the largest financial institutions and financial services firms in the world.

We are seeking two senior developers who thrive on versatility and get energized by the prospect of building everything from scratch . These individuals would be the developer who gets "lightly enraged" by inefficient systems and takes it out on the keyboard by building better solutions. When you encounter a problem, your first instinct is to solve it—whether that's contributing to open source, building a side project, or taking a finance course just to understand the business better.

Our flagship platform for deal funding, trade optimization, and order submission. You'll help design and build the next generation from the ground up.

Data Platform 1.0

Centralized platform for firm and market data. Think Bloomberg integration, risk calculations, portfolio analytics, and data governance.

Everything Else

Market data architecture, user interfaces, API design, testing frameworks, deployment pipelines, monitoring systems, business logic, integrations with third-party vendors. If it needs to be built, you'll touch it.

Why You Should Be Interested :

• Impact : Shape the technology direction of a growing financial firm
• Growth : Learn financial markets while building cutting-edge systems
• Autonomy : Minimal bureaucracy, maximum ownership
• Variety : No day is the same—you'll work on UI, APIs, data, infrastructure
