About the Role

iCapital is seeking a Backend Software Engineer at Vice President level. You will design, build, and operate services that power the iCapital platform.

You will collaborate with engineers, product managers, and technical partners throughout the development lifecycle. Our service-oriented platform primarily uses Scala, Ruby, and Python, but prior experience with these languages is not required. We value strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn new technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain cloud-based services and APIs.
  • Translate product and business needs into practical technical solutions.
  • Own projects from design through production rollout and ongoing support.
  • Write maintainable code and contribute to technical design decisions.
  • Participate in code reviews and improve engineering standards.
  • Build testing, observability, security, and operational readiness into services.
  • Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve delivery, investigation, and learning.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years experience with a modern programming language such as Ruby, Scala, Python, Java, or TypeScript.
  • 5+ years experience building or integrating with APIs and backend services.
  • Knowledge of relational or NoSQL databases and data modeling.
  • Familiarity with automated testing, version control, and modern software delivery practices.
  • Understanding of cloud application development and distributed systems.
  • Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools to plan work, refine specifications, delegate tasks, and validate implementation quality.

Benefits

The base salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000.  iCapital offers a compensation package which includes salary, equity for all full-time employees, and an annual performance bonus. Employees also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes an employer matched retirement plan, generously subsidized healthcare with 100% employer paid dental, vision, telemedicine, and virtual mental health counseling, parental leave, and unlimited paid time off (PTO).

We believe the best ideas and innovation happen when we are together. Employees in this role will work in the office Monday-Thursday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Friday.
