Private Equity Engineering Lead
Careers at KKR, New York, New York +1
The role
We are building a new platform for the Private Equity middle and back office and retiring the legacy systems it replaces. This is a build, not an implementation: the decision to build rather than buy is already made, and we are looking for an engineering leader who is a builder by instinct.
As Vice President, Engineering Lead, you will own the engineering of that platform end to end: the capital-activity and accounting engine, the data model beneath it, the integrations around it, and the migration off legacy. You will lead a small, senior team of [3–4] engineers as a player-coach, spending 40–60% of your time designing, writing and reviewing code.
Almost everything this team delivers is built in partnership with other groups across the firm. A good part of the job is shaping a shared roadmap and working through trade-offs as they come up.
What you will do
- Lead, mentor and develop a team of senior software and data engineers. Set clear goals and an operating rhythm, give direct feedback, and grow depth in both engineering and the domain.
