At BlackRock, we are looking for Software Engineers who like to innovate and solve complex problems. We recognize that strength comes from diversity, and will embrace your unique skills, curiosity, drive, and passion while giving you the opportunity to grow technically and as an individual.

With over USD $7 trillion of assets we have an exceptional responsibility: our technology empowers millions of investors to save for retirement, pay for college, buy a home and improve their financial wellbeing.

You are:

• Curious and eager to learn new things, with a healthy disrespect for the status quo
• Willing to embrace work outside of your comfort zone, and open to guidance from others; you make mistakes, but learn from them
• Passionate about technology, with personal ownership for the work you do
• Data-focused, with an eye for the details that matter to solve the problem

We are:

• Passionate about building quality software and scaling technology to meet the needs of tomorrow
• Building solutions for BlackRock and over 100 organizations who use our technology
• Developing in Java, Python, Cassandra, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and many others
• Committed to open source, and contributing back to the community
• Writing testable software every day, with a focus on incremental innovation

You have:

• Minimum of 3+ years software engineering work experience on large scale software development and deployment experience
• BA/BS in Computer Science from an accredited university (in lieu of degree, 4+ years of relevant work experience)
• Strong programming skills in Java
• Experience in modern web application development
• Knowledge of Angular, Spring, SQL, Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 is a plus
• Agile development skills
• Ability and interest to learn other coding languages as needed
• We have multiple opportunities for Associate and Vice President Levels.
