Forward Deploy Engineer- Equities Investment Technology

Neuberger’s Investment Technology team is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to embed directly with our equity portfolio management teams. You will sit at the intersection of technology and investments team — understanding how Portfolio Managers (PMs) think, what data they need, and where friction exists in their daily workflows — then ship production-grade applications that make them faster and better.

This is not a back-office engineering role. You will be on the desk, in the conversation, building what matters.

FDEs are embedded within client environments to diagnose real business problems, architect tailored solutions, and accelerate the adoption of our technology platforms. If you thrive on ownership, ambiguity, and building things that matter to the people using them, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

Client Engagement & Solutioning

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact embedded within client or business-unit teams
• Lead discovery sessions to deeply understand client workflows, pain points, and strategic goals
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable, production-ready technical solutions
• Drive technical demos, proof-of-concept (PoC) builds, and pilot deployments from concept through delivery

Engineering & Development

• Write production-quality code to customize, integrate, or extend platform capabilities for client-specific use cases
• Build APIs, data pipelines, and integrations between client systems and core platforms
• Develop internal tooling and automation scripts to streamline repetitive client workflows
• Contribute reusable components and frameworks back to the core engineering team

Deployment & Implementation

• Own end-to-end technical implementation — from initial scoping through go-live
• Configure and deploy solutions across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments
• Ensure all solutions meet performance, security, and compliance requirements
• Manage technical onboarding for new clients and business units

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the voice of the client within product and engineering teams, shaping roadmap priorities
• Partner with Product Management, Sales, and Pre-Sales teams during technical evaluations
• Collaborate with Support teams to triage and resolve escalated technical issues

Required Skills and Experience

• 5–7 years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a client-facing technical role — with a proven track record of writing production-quality code, owning end-to-end implementations, and delivering technical solutions in complex, fast-moving environments
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field
• Proficiency in two or more programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, TypeScript, Go)
• Hands-on experience with SQL, data modeling, and ETL/ELT pipelines
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization tools (Docker/Kubernetes)
• Solid understanding of REST and/or GraphQL API design and integration patterns
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills — especially under client-facing pressure
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in financial services, asset management, or fintech environments
• Experience with data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks
• Exposure to LLM/AI tooling and prompt engineering
• Prior experience in consulting, pre-sales engineering, or solutions architecture
• Comfort working within Agile/Scrum delivery frameworks

Location/ In Office Requirement:

This position will be based in our New York office.

This is a Hybrid work schedule, with a mandatory requirement of a minimum 2 days in office, which is subject to change at Neuberger's discretion.
