Software Engineer
Lead the design and evolution of FactSet’s unified developer platform, driving scalable microservices, cloud-native deployments, and secure API ecosystems. Focus on architecture, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes orchestration, and cross‑team collaboration to deliver high‑performance financial data solutions.
FactSet creates flexible, open data and software solutions for over 200,000 investment professionals worldwide, providing instant access to financial data and analytics that investors use to make crucial decisions.
At FactSet , our values are the foundation of everything we do. They express how we act and operate, serve as a compass in our decision-making, and play a big role in how we treat each other, our clients, and our communities. We believe that the best ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time, and that curiosity is the key to anticipating our clients’ needs and exceeding their expectations.
The Platform Architecture team is responsible for unifying FactSet 's developer infrastructure and core technologies — providing a coherent Internal Developer Platform and Platform as a Service to ensure engineering teams have access to the technology capabilities they need to provide world-class financial solutions to our clients in a way that is self-service, governed, and easy to consume.
This team is responsible for identifying future evolutions and innovative revolutions of FactSet 's core platform components in order to enable increased developer productivity, operational reliability, and to unlock new capabilities that accelerate delivery across all engineering teams or enable novel client-facing technologies. All team members, and in particular this leadership role, have the opportunity to be exposed to the entire FactSet technology stack and every engineering team across the organization as they seek to understand and contribute to key architectural needs.
The current focus of the team is on designing and delivering FactSet 's Internal Developer Platform as a Platform as a Service — a unified, self-service platform encompassing governed CI/CD, container orchestration, managed platform services (compute, storage, databases, messaging, caching), developer portal, and observability. The goal is to consolidate fragmented internal tooling into a coherent platform experience and expand managed service offerings in a way that balances exceptional developer experience with the governance and compliance requirements of a regulated financial services firm.
The Platform Architect role involves guiding the team towards the top priority platform initiatives at FactSet , utilizing a broad understanding of the internal technology landscape, developer needs, and current industry practices, as well as contributing to those projects directly. The successful candidate will ensure productive collaboration with a broad set of internal stakeholders across the SBUs to keep projects on track with the top priority needs and opportunities to deliver value.
