### What the job involves
- Arta is building an AI-native wealth platform that expands access to sophisticated investment strategies — including private markets such as private equity, venture capital, private credit, and other alternative assets
- We are looking for a senior software engineer to work closely with the Private Investments Team to build and scale our Alternatives platform and go-to-market capabilities
- This role sits at the intersection of:
- Software engineering
- Private markets / alternative investments
- Product and platform design for institutional and high-net-worth clients
- You won’t just be handed specs — you’ll help define how alternative investments are structured, delivered, and scaled through software
- If you’re excited about building products that bring traditionally opaque, manual asset classes into modern, scalable platforms — this will be a strong fit
- Design, build, and own end-to-end backend systems powering the alternatives platform, working closely with product and business stakeholders to develop, ship, and iterate on features across the full lifecycle of private market investments—from fund onboarding and deal execution to capital calls and distributions
- Architect scalable data models and services to support complex fund structures and investor allocations, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and extensibility across the platform
- Develop robust APIs, workflows, and internal tooling that enable reliable tracking of performance, cash flows, and portfolio exposure across alternative assets, while supporting operational efficiency for internal teams and seamless integration with user-facing applications
- Partner directly with Private Investments Team to translate investment strategies into scalable product experiences
- Build internal and client-facing tools that support fund launches, client onboarding, and investor reporting
- Enable operational workflows that are traditionally manual (subscription docs, diligence workflows, reporting)
- Work cross-functionally with investment, product, legal, and operations teams
- Translate ambiguous, domain-heavy requirements into clean system designs
- Bring structure and scalability to complex financial processes
- Architect backend systems and APIs for internal and external use
- Ensure data accuracy, auditability, and consistency across financial workflows
- Contribute to overall platform architecture and engineering standards
- This role reports to the Engineering Manager based in the Bay area
