Build the Infrastructure That Powers Private Capital

Engineering at Chronograph means architecting solutions that transform how many of the world’s largest investors operate, scale, and understand their portfolio. Our engineering culture is collaborative, ownership-driven, and built for those who thrive in high-stakes environments where precision and innovation intersect.

The Engineering Experience

Technical Excellence as Standard Practice

We build software at scale that powers mission-critical financial operations. Every line of code you write directly impacts how billions of dollars move through the financial system, how investment decisions get made, and how institutions manage complex financial data. Our standards aren’t high by accident—they reflect the reality that our clients depend on us for their most important business outcomes.

End-to-End Ownership

We believe in complete project ownership. When you take point on an initiative, you’re responsible for seeing it through from conception to deployment and beyond. This isn’t about working in isolation—it’s about being empowered to drive results while collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the industry.

Learn from Industry Veterans

Work alongside seasoned technologists and team members who’ve transitioned from top-tier financial firms. Our leadership team understands the nuances of both engineering delivery and our clients’ workflows and culture. This unique blend of perspectives accelerates learning and broadens our team’s professional toolkit.

Our Foundation

We operate a sophisticated technology stack that handles the complexity of modern finance:

  • Modern Web Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, React are central to delivering powerful applications that handle complex financial workflows.
  • Scalable Backend Systems: Our modern architecture is designed for reliability and exceptional performance.
  • Advanced Data & AI/ML/LLM Engineering: We have delivered on robust systems designed for data at scale and in cutting edge workflows.
  • Security-First Design: We embrace enterprise-grade security patterns that meet the stringent requirements of financial services.

Our engineers work across the full stack, with opportunities to specialize as you grow. We encourage learning new technologies and contributing across teams to broaden impact and expertise.

“From incorporating AI and Serverless infrastructure on the backend, to Vite and React on the frontend, our Engineering team embraces new technologies in order to push the envelope and solve problems in a creative way. Nothing is ‘immutable’ or off-limits here.”

Career Growth and Development

We maintain clear engineering levels with dual career tracks—you can advance as an individual contributor or transition into engineering management. Both paths offer substantial compensation, equity participation, and the opportunity to shape technical strategy.

Every engineer is paired with experienced team members who are invested in your growth. We provide comprehensive onboarding, ongoing technical mentorship, and opportunities to learn from domain experts across finance and technology.

Our engineering teams work closely with product managers, designers, data scientists, and business stakeholders. You’ll develop a deep understanding of financial markets while honing your technical skills.

The Problems We Solve

Financial Infrastructure

Build the critical systems that enable seamless money movement, transaction processing, and financial reporting. Our platform administrates trillions of dollars of investment with zero tolerance for errors.

Data Intelligence

What We Look For

Technical Foundation

Strong programming fundamentals with experience in modern web development. Proficiency with Node.js is a plus, but we value problem-solving ability and learning agility over specific technology experience.

Ownership Mentality

Drive to see projects through to completion, take responsibility for outcomes, and continuously improve systems and processes. We’re looking for engineers who think like owners.

Collaborative Spirit

Ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong communication skills and empathy for user needs are as important as coding ability.

Financial Acumen

Interest in or experience with financial markets, investment management, or fintech. We’ll develop your domain expertise, but curiosity about how money and markets work is essential.

Our Commitment to You

Market-leading salaries with meaningful equity participation. As we grow, our engineers share directly in that success.

Direct investment in your career growth through structured advancement opportunities and continuous skill development. We prioritize ensuring every engineer has clear pathways for professional progression.

We maintain high performance standards while supporting sustainable careers. Flexible arrangements that enable you to do your best work while maintaining personal well-being.

We bring together diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to drive innovative solutions. Every engineer’s voice matters in shaping our technical direction.
