About d1g1t

d1g1t is an institutional-grade enterprise wealth management platform built for financial advisors, multi-family offices, broker-dealers, and bank advisor networks. The platform replaces fragmented legacy systems with a unified solution for portfolio management, advanced analytics, risk management, reporting, and operational workflows across the wealth advisory lifecycle.

More than a reporting platform, d1g1t gives client-facing advisors, back-office teams, and senior leadership the real-time tools and intelligence they need to manage complex portfolios, improve operational efficiency, and make better decisions. The company is led by an experienced financial technology team with a track record of building enterprise risk and portfolio management systems for leading investment banks, wealth managers, hedge funds, and regulators globally.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Backend to join our engineering team and contribute to a large, complex production platform used by sophisticated financial services clients.

This is a hands-on backend role for someone whose career has become deeply Python-focused. You should be comfortable navigating a mature codebase, owning features end-to-end, debugging issues across system layers, and making practical engineering decisions that balance quality, scalability, and business impact.

You will work closely with Product and Engineering to understand requirements, shape technical solutions, implement backend functionality, improve existing systems, and help ensure smooth delivery from design through deployment and maintenance. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, self-sufficient, communicative, and comfortable working with large datasets and complex domain logic.

What You’ll Do

Collaborate with Product and Engineering to understand, refine, and shape functional requirements.
Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain backend features using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and related technologies.
Take ownership of work from technical design through implementation, production release, and ongoing support.
Navigate and improve a large, mature codebase with years of production history.
Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues across application logic, data flows, APIs, background jobs, and database layers.
Identify performance bottlenecks and implement practical, scalable improvements.
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code that supports long-term product reliability.
Review tickets, provide clear updates, give feedback to peers, and contribute to strong engineering practices.

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of backend software development experience.
Strong, career-depth experience with Python as your primary backend language.
Production experience with Django, or deep experience with another Python web framework such as FastAPI or Flask.
Demonstrated experience owning features or technical projects from design through deployment and maintenance.
Strong debugging skills and comfort working in large, complex, mature codebases.
Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, including indexing, query optimization, and diagnosing slow queries.
Experience building and maintaining REST APIs.
Ability to reason about performance, scalability, and reliability in production systems.
Familiarity with tools and technologies such as Celery, Redis, Git, and modern backend development workflows.
Clear communication skills and the ability to work independently while knowing when to align with the broader team.

Nice to Have

Experience with trading, portfolio management, wealth management, risk, reporting, or other financial software systems.
Experience working with large datasets or complex data-heavy applications.
Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms.
Experience with NumPy, pandas, or similar Python data tools.
Background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Why Join d1g1t

Join a fast-growing fintech company building sophisticated software for the wealth management industry.
Work on a complex, high-impact platform where backend engineering decisions matter.
Collaborate with an experienced team that values technical depth, ownership, and practical problem-solving.
Contribute to a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement where your voice is valued.

Perks and Benefits

Competitive compensation package with bonus eligibility.
Comprehensive healthcare benefits.
Employee and Family Assistance Program.
Fitness and wellness credit.
Continuing education allowance.
Flexible hours and purpose-driven hybrid work policy.
Ability to work abroad for up to two months per year, subject to conditions.
