Apart from this requirement, may telecommute and work remotely from home up to four days a week. Note it is currently permissible, however (due to various regulations and policies), to telecommute and work remotely from home in the following five states: Massachusetts; Rhode Island; New Hampshire; Connecticut; or Vermont.

These are permanent, immediately available, job opportunities that do not require any travel to client or to customer sites. Will work as senior-level software developers, within a broader ASC software development team, on building new technology frameworks that allow users to access data and existing systems across all Arrowstreet investment processes. Using Agile and Scrum software development methods, people in the roles will be responsible for collaborating with the ASC software development team on designing and implementing platforms and frameworks that support broader firm-wide, software development initiatives. Focus areas include building a new common user-interface (“UI”) framework for micro front-end hosting and development. Roles will also be dedicated to building new cloud infrastructure for designing and developing platform micro-services supporting modern responsive web UIs. They will apply understanding of software design patterns in performing software development functions. Scope of these roles will also touch on DevOps work. They will build CI/CD pipelines. Such people, in addition, will be responsible for using software development techniques, to focus on designing and developing specialized message and event-based architectures. Main application of the roles, ultimately, to conclude and summarize, they focus on designing new software solutions which take complex investment ideas and bring them to life in direct collaboration with other software development personnel and teams of Arrowstreet.
