## The job description from TriEdge Investments

Posted by TriEdge Investments on May 4, 2026

At TriEdge Investments, we build technology that helps real businesses operate better. Working across a portfolio of 30+ companies and select partners, we embed with operators to design and ship automation that moves the numbers, including throughput, cost, and reliability. Over time, we turn those hard-won solutions into platform tools that scale across companies, building an intelligent system that brings modern automation to businesses typically overlooked by traditional software.

As a **Senior Software Engineer**, you will operate as a senior technical leader embedded with operators and clients, owning complex problem spaces from discovery through production. Rather than executing against predefined specs, you will identify the highest-leverage opportunities, shape requirements in partnership with users and executives, and define system architectures that can be scaled and reused across the portfolio. You will remain hands-on in code while setting technical direction, ensuring solutions are durable, secure, and aligned with long-term business outcomes.

### What You’ll Do

- **Lead deep technical discovery with operators and clients**, diagnosing workflows, systemic pain points, and high-leverage automation opportunities across engagements
- **Own architecture and delivery of end-to-end systems** spanning web, cloud, data, and AI infrastructure, with an eye toward reuse and long-term scalability
- **Define and build robust APIs, agentic workflows, and AI/ML-driven systems**, setting standards for how intelligent automation is designed and deployed
- **Rapidly prototype, develop, validate, and harden solutions in live client environments**, balancing speed with production-grade reliability and adoption
- **Set technical direction for performance, scalability, security, and resilience**, proactively identifying risks and addressing them before they impact customers
- **Lead cross-functional technical alignment** with product, data, and operators to ensure solutions map directly to business outcomes and portfolio strategy
- **Own production excellence in client deployments**, driving root-cause analysis, durable fixes, and systemic improvements rather than one-off patches
- **Serve as a senior technical authority and trusted advisor** to executives and operators while remaining deeply hands-on in code and system design

### About You

- **5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience**, with demonstrated Staff-level impact in production environments

### Proven experience in leveraging AI development stack to develop enterprise grade applications from end to end, such as Claude code, custom mcp, skills, backend-as-a-service.

- **Proven track record of owning ambiguous, high-stakes problem spaces end to end**, including direct delivery in client- or operator-facing contexts
- **Broad technical depth across the stack** (e.g., Python, React/Next.js, SQL/NoSQL, cloud infrastructure), with the judgment to choose appropriate tools and architectures
- **Strong API and systems design expertise**, including defining interfaces and patterns that scale beyond a single team or deployment
- **Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML into production systems**, with an understanding of tradeoffs across performance, cost, reliability, and compliance
- **Exceptional communicator**, capable of influencing engineers, operators, and executives through clear technical reasoning and written design artifacts
- **Pragmatic technical leader** with a strong bias toward ownership, accountability, and forward-deployed execution
- **Effective operating in complex environments**, including legacy systems, heterogeneous stacks, and regulated or compliance-driven domains
- **Fluent in AI-assisted development**, using modern tooling to increase leverage while maintaining high standards for code quality and system integrity

### Bachelor’s degree minimum

### Why Join TriEdge Investments

- Play a key role in reshaping private equity with AI-powered platforms that scale
- Help digitize and transform real businesses, not just build another SaaS product
- Be at the forefront of AI and automation across financial services and healthcare
- Work closely with operators and executives to deliver solutions that matter
- Join a culture that values clarity, speed, reuse, humility, and ownership

### Location

TriEdge Investments is headquartered in New York's Hudson Yards. We've designed our workplace to foster the collaboration and spontaneous interactions that drive innovation. Our team works in-office, with flexibility to work remotely when needed.

### What We Offer

The annual base salary range for this position is **$200,000 – $250,000**. Actual compensation offered may vary from the posted hiring range based on experience and skill level, among other factors. This role is also eligible for a discretionary fund performance bonus.

### Benefits

- $0 deductible and 100% employee-covered health, vision, and dental insurance
- 401(k) matching program of 50% up to 6% of annual salary
- Unlimited PTO
- Beautiful custom-built office in NYC with daily lunch
