Position Summary :

As a Senior Associate in Product Engineering, you will be joining our newly established Product Engineering group.

This is a senior individual contributor role that will play a critical part in designing and building the next-generation technology platform supporting Oaktree's credit business - one of the firm's largest and most sophisticated investment strategies.

- Hands-on engineering role: Work directly in the codebase, solving complex problems and building production-grade systems daily; ideal for engineers who prefer building over managing.

- High ownership & autonomy: Collaborate with global stakeholders (primarily Los Angeles-based) while independently driving problem identification, solution design, execution, and communication.

- Full-stack, data-intensive development: Build applications that support credit investment workflows - spanning data pipelines, backend services, and user-facing tools.

- Product-focused engineering: Operate without traditional product managers; engage directly with business stakeholders, translate needs into technical solutions, and own delivery end-to-end.

- Modern cloud architecture: Contribute to an evolving Azure-based platform, influencing scalable, reliable system design with practical, experience-driven decisions.

- Applied generative AI: Leverage AI tools to improve engineering efficiency and enhance product capabilities in a practical, results-driven way.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own and deliver end-to-end platform components, including data pipelines, backend services, and user-facing applications.

- Design and build scalable, reliable data systems (ingestion, transformation, analytics, APIs).

- Contribute to modernizing architecture and technology stack, influencing design decisions with strong technical judgment.

- Collaborate directly with business stakeholders and investment teams to understand workflows and translate them into impactful solutions.

- Act as a product owner for your domain - define scope, prioritize work, and iterate quickly based on business impact.

- Operate independently across time zones, proactively communicating progress, decisions, and risks.

- Apply generative AI thoughtfully to improve development efficiency and enable intelligent product features.

- Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical leadership.

- Implement modern engineering practices including CI/CD, testing, observability, and feature management.

- Drive data-informed decision-making using metrics, telemetry, and experimentation.

- Clearly communicate technical trade-offs to both engineering and business audiences.

Qualifications:

- 10+ years of software engineering experience with strong ownership of business-critical, distributed production systems.

- Proven success as a Senior, Staff, or Principal Engineer designing and delivering complex enterprise, cloud-native, and financial technology platforms.

- Expertise in C#, .NET Core/.NET 8+, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, REST APIs, gRPC, and modern backend development practices.

- Strong full-stack development experience using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern UI frameworks to build scalable, responsive web applications.

- Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization.

- Experience building data-intensive applications, including data modeling, event-driven architectures, ETL/data pipelines, and real-time processing solutions.

- Proficiency in Python and at least one compiled language (e.g., C#, Java, Go, C++, Scala).

- Hands-on experience designing microservices, API-first architectures, domain-driven design (DDD), and messaging platforms such as Azure Service Bus, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.

- Strong experience with Azure cloud services, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes/AKS), CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep), and cloud-native architectures.

- Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases, including SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, and MongoDB, with a focus on performance and scalability.

- Experience driving engineering excellence through automated testing, TDD, observability, security, DevSecOps, and code quality best practices.

- Ability to work independently, drive technical strategy, and deliver solutions end-to-end while navigating ambiguity and partnering directly with business stakeholders.

- Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills, with a track record of influencing technical decisions and leading through expertise rather than authority.

- Demonstrated product mindset with the ability to connect technical solutions to customer value, business outcomes, and operational excellence.

Education :

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required.

- Advanced degree (MS, MBA) or equivalent experience in product-focused engineering leadership preferred.
