Gridline is here to redefine how private markets operate, making them faster, smarter, and more accessible. We are setting a new standard by building the Turnkey Alternatives Management Platform (TAMP) to help wealth managers run private market programs at scale. As a ledger-native system of record, Gridline provides a single source of truth that tracks the entire investment lifecycle down to the transaction layer, enabling RIAs, family offices, and private banks to manage their private markets business in one place.
Our team brings deep experience across both enterprise technology and alternative investments to build the infrastructure layer the industry has always lacked. Backed by an $18.5M Series A led by FINTOP, we are creating the systems and structuring the data required to define the next generation of private market investing. Are you up to the challenge?
As a frontend Software Engineer at Gridline, you will be the primary visual architect and user experience champion powering our alternative investment platform. You will hold end-to-end ownership of the user interface - from crafting clean, responsive UI component systems to designing intuitive product workflows for complex financial data.
As a key member of our engineering team, you will help us maintain the high standards required for a fintech platform. Our high-velocity team of builders value systems thinking and long-term impact, and your role will be critical in evolving our SaaS client experience, ensuring our platform remains performant, beautiful, and capable of streamlining sophisticated financial workflows.
This is an amazing opportunity to join Gridline at this inflection point, reporting directly to our Director of Engineering.
