React Job Details

There is a place for you at T. Rowe Price to grow, contribute, learn, and make a difference. We are a premier asset manager focused on delivering global investment management excellence and retirement services that investors can rely on today and in the future. The work we do matters. We invite you to explore the opportunity to join us and grow your career with us.
The T Rowe Price Investment Risk Technology team is looking for an enthusiastic Software Engineer who is passionate about data, services, reporting, and has a strong desire to create best in class enterprise solutions.

Are you the type of engineer that will write a unit test while coding, query an API on the side to get an idea of the analytics you’re dealing with, pull up your sleeves and follow a legacy SQL query to understand the thinking in a portfolio setup, be unafraid to check the logs while doing that, and use all of that to come up with elegant code, taking the complexity in your stride? That’s what we’re looking for.

We want a SOLID/TDD developer to help modernize a legacy stack into AWS. But more than that, we want our engineers to understand risk and portfolio data in such a way that you take on ownership of the components you ship.

Our team is building a suite of next-generation n-tier, native cloud-enabled applications. You will be part of an Agile team of smart, hardworking people whose mission is to develop new capabilities using modern cloud technologies used by our Risk Analysts, Portfolio Managers, and Quants. This is a hands-on, full SDLC role that provides an opportunity to tackle sophisticated business, logic, data, and technical challenges. We encourage you to apply!

We’ve made a significant investment in the future of our technology and data. But we’re only just beginning.

We have a big vision of what we can achieve and have ambitious plans to get there. We hold collaboration as a core tenet of how we accomplish our goals. Are you interested in a team-oriented approach; curious and enthusiastic learners? We are a group of diverse problem solvers, all working together with different perspectives to create optimal solutions to continue to propel us to great heights.

We will give you ambitious work that has an impact, opportunities to learn and grow, and a collaborative culture that encourages every member of our team to bring their point of view to the table—because that’s how we help our clients succeed. You must demonstrate a willingness to overcome technical challenges in a fast-paced environment. You will play a key role in supporting and modernizing the legacy Microsoft stack and platform into a modern platform that leverages AWS.

In this role, you will design, develop, modify, adapt, and implement short- and long-term solutions through new and existing applications, systems, databases, and applications infrastructure. You will review and interpret system requirements and business processes. You will code, test, debug, and implement software solutions.
