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

Aerofex is a rapidly-growing aerospace startup developing next-generation thrust vectoring and VTOL propulsion technology for manned and unmanned platforms. We are seeking an experienced engineer to support the migration of an existing flight-control implementation from a flight-verified Simulink-like development environment into an ArduPilot-based production implementation.
This is a 1-2 month contract position, with potential for future full-time work. The primary task is to create a custom ArduPilot airframe configuration for a (slightly) nonstandard vehicle. This work will focus on actuator/output mixing, PWM output expansion, firmware integration, and hardware-level debugging on a Pixhawk-based flight controller. A successful candidate will have worked closely on a similar task and is very familiar with Ardupilot.

Our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, starting with financial services and rapidly expanding into new markets. SentiLink is backed by world-class investors including Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin.
SentiLink supports a variety of ways to work, ranging from fully remote to in-office. We operate as a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India. We maintain physical offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India. If you’re located near one of these offices, we would love for you to spend time in the office regularly. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design. For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
We’re a small, high-impact team solving one of the most interesting and adversarial problems in fintech: how do you build systems that reliably determine whether a real human is on the other side of a financial transaction?
We’re hiring across Engineering (Full-stack and Infra) and Data Science / ML roles. Hiring at Manager level as well as mid-level/Senior levels.
We’re language-agnostic and hire for fundamentals. Across the team you’ll see: • Python, Go, Rust, Scala • PostgreSQL, Snowflake • Kafka, Redis • Terraform, Kubernetes • ML: XGBoost, PyTorch, Feature stores, real-time scoring pipelines
If you love solving complex distributed systems challenges, building customer-facing ML products, or working on detection systems that must be both high-precision and low-latency, you’ll fit right in.
