Oaktree Capital | Senior Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA (HYBRID) / Hyderabad, India | 1 LA + 2 Hyderabad I'm Julien — I lead Product Engineering at Oaktree. My background is tech, not finance: startups, Meta, data infrastructure companies. I'm hands-on and building a flat, small team that operates like an engineering org, not a bank IT department. If you come from a tech background, this post is for you. We're building the next-generation platform for Oaktree's credit business (private credit included) — one of the largest and most complex investment strategies at a firm managing $220B+ in assets. This is a newly formed Product Engineering group, and we're modernizing everything: practices, architecture, tooling, culture. In the past month alone we've stood up a new CI/CD system, evolved the architecture, and gone from release cycles measured in months to hours. We're shipping rapidly and the pace is accelerating. The work: data-intensive applications across the full stack of a credit investment platform — ingestion, transformation, analytics, and the tools that put insights into the hands of investment professionals. No traditional PMs — you work directly with business stakeholders, own priorities, and ship. This is a hands-on, code-every-day role. What we're looking for: - 10+ years building and owning data-intensive systems in production -Strong CS fundamentals (data structures, distributed systems, concurrency, performance) - Deep expertise in data modeling, pipeline architecture, and systems that process/transform/serve large volumes of data - Python + at least one statically typed/compiled language (C#/.NET, C++, Java, Scala, Go) - Cloud-native experience (our environment is Azure, but what matters is you've operated at scale) - Comfortable with ambiguity, direct stakeholder engagement, and owning outcomes end-to-end - Genuine interest in applying generative AI practically across engineering and product workflows A note on title: the internal title is Vice President, which is standard in finance. In substance this is a Senior/Staff Engineer IC role. Locations: 1 role in Los Angeles (hybrid Tue-Thu, DTLA office) a 2 roles in Hyderabad, India. Interview process: 0. recruiter screen 1. Behavioral + coding (30 min each, can be split or combined) 2. Onsite: system design take-home + panel, stakeholder meeting, hiring manager please email me [email protected]
