Senior Engineering Manager (Precompute)

Company: Addepar, Inc.
Apply for the Senior Engineering Manager (Precompute)
Location: City of Edinburgh
Job Description:


  • We are seeking a Precompute Platform Lead to own and scale Addepar’s precompute layer – the platform that pre-calculates financial analytics and transparently integrates precomputed and real-time results, delivering step-change improvements in query latency and concurrency for enterprise-scale wealth management firms

  • The team operates on terabyte-scale datasets, leveraging vector-oriented programming and distributed systems to enable sub-second performance. You’ll lead the evolution of this capability from targeted use cases to a platform-wide performance layer – solving hard problems in incremental computation, vectorised processing, and distributed data architecture as you scale

  • Own the precompute platform roadmap in partnership with Product and engineering leadership, defining and meeting aggressive performance KPIs for daily processing, incremental processing, and query latency across enterprise clients

  • Architect, implement, and maintain engineering solutions to solve sophisticated problems; reduce complexity through the adoption of strategic data architecture and workflows

  • Drive integration with core compute infrastructure, growing the share of query traffic served through the precompute layer

  • Continue global region support, building a repeatable architecture that scales across Addepar’s multi-region deployment

  • Drive deeper vectorisation of the calculation layer, moving compute-intensive factor math from row-by-row execution into the columnar engine for step-change throughput improvements

  • Improve team efficiency by engaging with operational partners

  • Drive Data Governance outcomes by integrating Data Publisher Responsibilities into precompute data creation workflows and achieving Data Health indicators for precompute artifacts


Benefits



  • Equity: Stretch the idea of ownership beyond your day-to-day and take pride in being an owner in the growth of Addepar

  • Global Hybrid Workforce: Whether you work remotely or on-site, you’ll have the opportunity to build and collaborate with colleagues around the world

  • Flexible Time Off: Spend time traveling, celebrating with friends and family or relax on your schedule

  • Benefits Packages: Competitive medical, dental and vision benefits along with a monthly wellness allowance to keep you healthy and happy

  • Learning & Development Allowance: Your continued growth and development are important to us

  • Dynamic Team: Strong investment in the best talent at the intersection of technology and finance



  • Cross-team technical influence – demonstrated ability to facilitate constructive discussions around complex technical and organisational issues and drive architectural decisions across team boundaries

  • Data Governance experience – familiarity with publisher responsibilities, data health indicators, and building governance into engineering workflows

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, or similar numerate field (or equivalent practical experience)

  • Strong cloud data infrastructure background – AWS, Databricks, Kubernetes

  • Extensive background in software engineering or data platform roles, with significant experience in performance engineering under large scale and high-concurrency systems

  • Experience leading global, distributed engineering teams through production system transformation

  • A confident and positive outlook with low ego; high degree of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and problem-solving skills

  • Data-driven prioritisation mindset – you build and act on usage analytics and cost/performance/accuracy tradeoffs, not just receive them

  • Finance or wealth management domain knowledge is a plus but not required

  • A hands-on engineering leader with demonstrated experience in vector-based data processing
