We are looking for Software Engineer – Retail Investing Platforms (Paid Expert Interview) candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Join one 45–60 minute remote interview at a time that works for you.
- Walk through how your team evaluated or shortlisted an outside API or AI vendor (e.g. market data, news/research, identity, or AI chat), and what drove the final decision.
- Share what made integrations go well or badly: documentation, reliability, pricing, security and compliance review, and support.
- Give candid feedback on what you would want from vendors serving retail-investing products.
What you need
- Currently employed in-house (not freelancing or consulting) as a software engineer, backend or integrations engineer, platform engineer, tech lead, or engineering manager who is still hands-on.
- Work at a company that reaches retail investors, such as an online brokerage, investing app, robo-advisor, neobank with investing, wealth platform, or brokerage infrastructure provider.
- Work on the retail product side, not institutional, hedge fund, or asset management desks.
- Evaluated or integrated a third-party API or AI vendor in the past 12 months (or will soon).
- Involved in choosing the vendor (helped evaluate or shortlist), not only building it after the decision was made.
Nice to have
- Integrated market data, news, research, or AI chat features.
- Experience across different company sizes or seniority levels.
