56 Stepstone Group Financial Analyst Jobs Hiring Near You

Position Overview:

The Senior Associate, Business Automation Solutions (the "Architect") will be a senior member of the Applied Engineering Solutions team within StepStone's Data Analytics and Technology Solutions ("DATS") department. This person is a polyglot engineer and hands-on architect who helps teams across the firm take their solutions from prototype to well-architected production. They guide how a solution should be structured, ensure it is deployed and networked correctly within our Kubernetes platform, and where a partner team lacks the technical resources, engineer the solution on their behalf. The role spans PHP, React, Python and Kubernetes/DevOps, and suits an engineer who is equally comfortable advising, reviewing, and building across the full stack.

Essential Job Functions:

• Partner with teams across the firm to bring their solutions - including AI-assisted and rapidly prototyped work - into a strong, maintainable framework, and productionize them to the team's standards
• Own deployment and intracluster networking: package and ship solutions via Helm charts on Kubernetes and ensure correct service-to-service networking and access to the right data within the cluster
• Lead Kubernetes/DevOps practices for partner-team deployments: Helm, GitHub Actions CI/CD, containerization, observability, and release safety
• Engineer on partner teams' behalf when they lack the technical resources, delivering production-quality code across PHP, React, and Python
• Review partner-team work and enforce standards (architecture, security, code quality) before it reaches production
• Advise teams on how a problem should be tackled end-to-end, reducing one-off, unsupportable solutions and steering work into shared frameworks
• Coordinate cross-team delivery in JIRA; partner with QA to define and meet testing and acceptance goals
• Mentor analysts and associates and raise the engineering bar across the teams you support

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of software engineering experience, including production ownership and demonstrable technical leadership or cross-team enablement
• Working proficiency across Python, PHP, and React (JavaScript/TypeScript); able to read, review, and write code in each
• Strong Kubernetes and DevOps capability: Helm charts, intracluster networking and service configuration, GitHub Actions (or comparable CI/CD), and containerized deployments
• Demonstrated ability to review others' work and enforce architecture and code-quality standards
• Strong communication and consulting skills; comfortable guiding teams that are not primarily engineers and owning JIRA coordination

Other Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Experience packaging and distributing internal libraries (private package registries, polyrepo/monorepo strategy)
• Experience operating production systems
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
• Familiarity with finance, private markets, or investment data domains
