# Data Engineer / SWE - Hedge Fund - Data Platform - NY - 225k+ TC

- **Company:** Mondrian Alpha
- **Location:** New York, NY, United States
- **Experience:** Experienced
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Information Engineering, Data Infrastructure, Extract Transform Load (ETL), Python (Programming Language), Standard Sql, Systems Integration, Indexer
- **Published:** October 8, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.disabledperson.com/jobs/75889800-data-engineer-swe-hedge-fund-data-platform-ny-225k-tc

## About the Role

* 2-7 years of software/data engineering experience
 * Strong Python, ideally applied to building ETL pipelines, onboarding and integrating vendor data feeds, and building internal tooling/APIs that other teams rely on, not just scripting one-off analysis
 * Strong SQL (comfortable well beyond basic joins and indexing)
 * Genuinely autonomous and opinionated, comfortable pushing back and thinking through problems out loud rather than just taking direction

## Description

You'll work directly alongside the person leading this rebuild as their first engineering hire on the data side, effectively a left-hand engineer helping build the function from scratch rather than joining an established team. This is a greenfield opportunity: expect to have real input into architecture and tooling decisions rather than executing a pre-defined backlog. You'll need to be comfortable operating with a lot of autonomy and thinking out loud through problems rather than just picking up tickets.

What You'll Be Doing:

 * Help design and build a new data function from the ground up, working closely with the team lead
 * Own technical decisions around data infrastructure, tooling, and architecture as the function scales
 * Be a genuine thought partner, someone the lead can bounce ideas off of, not just execute assigned tasks
 * Operate with significant autonomy in a small, high-trust team
