Tracing our roots to 1928, we are one of the world’s largest independent investment management firms. With over US$1.3 trillion in assets under management, we serve as trusted advisers to institutional clients and mutual fund sponsors in more than 50 countries.
Our innovative investment solutions are built on the strength of proprietary, independent research and span nearly all segments of the global capital markets, including equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative strategies.
As a private partnership whose sole business is investment management, our long-term views and interests are aligned with those of our clients. We are committed to attracting a talented and diverse workforce and fostering an open, collaborative culture of inclusivity because we believe multiple perspectives lead to more informed investment and business decisions.
At Wellington Management, our appetite for technology is insatiable. We recognize that the world is full of fascinating questions that will impact the future of companies, economies, financial markets, and entire industries. We want you to help us find answers to these questions by building and evolving our innovative, industry-leading technology platform. As technology needs advance, this complexity requires a highly sophisticated, well-managed platform built by people like you. This is your chance to build something incredible. This position is within our Information Technology team.
We are seeking a Software Engineer embedded directly within our Quantitative Investment Group to serve as a hands‑on technical partner to Portfolio Managers and Quantitative Researchers. This role will work primarily in Python and C#, supporting the full lifecycle of systematic investment workflows—from research enablement and data integration to platform development and firmwide integration.
This is not a traditional support or centralized platform role. The successful candidate will help in the design, implementation, and evolution of QIG’s quantitative portfolio and research infrastructure, translating portfolio construction, optimization, and risk research into scalable, production‑grade systems while aligning with broader firmwide technology initiatives.
