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

We're a seed stage (VC backend) company building a vertically integrated design and manufacturing platform for precision mechanical parts. We are developing our own CAD/CAM software running on top of our own manufacturing facility. The team has previously developed CAD kernels, design software, and autonomous robotic manipulators, and comes from Amazon Robotics, Siemens, nTop, and Vicarious Surgical.
Most design and manufacturing software companies treat the factory as a black box and optimize geometry in isolation. Our bet is that the only way to really bring software and ML into design and manufacturing is to own the full process ourselves. The platform you'd help build includes: customer-facing design software, the ML engine that turns CAD files into machine instructions (G-code), the simulation layer, and the shop floor operations themselves.
We are looking for someone independently driven who wants to operate like a founder. You'd own architecture, help shape the company's vision, and build a product from the ground up. If you've worked on cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, CAD/CAM software dev, geometry kernels, robotic perception, motion control, or spent time on a shop floor, we'd like to talk. We are open to sponsoring visas for the right candidate.
Roles:
Founding Computational Geometry Engineer: Hybrid B-rep + SDF kernel work. STEP AP242 ingestion, B-rep surgery, feature recognition, and the geometry layer underneath our DFM and CAM pipelines. If you've worked on Parasolid, OCCT, nTop, or shipped anything that touches BRep diff, parametric replay, or differentiable geometry, we want to talk. C++ and Python.
Founding Full-Stack Engineer: Someone who can take ownership of the reliability, automation, and evolution of our core systems that tie into our CAD/CAM software, internal shop-floor systems. You’ll work across the stack, with a strong emphasis on backend, infrastructure, and system-level engineering, to strengthen the foundations that everything else runs on. This role is for someone who enjoys digging into complex systems, building the architecture and tooling to keep them running reliably (including the frontend).

I am looking for a Wireless Communications Engineer with SDR expertise to join my team; I'm the hiring manager.
What I'm looking for:
* Background in wireless communications / signal processing theory and math.
* Experience building software-based wireless modems.
* Experience writing and optimizing software-defined radio code in C++ directly.
What you'd do:
* Implement all components of software defined modem systems from specifications and alongside our reverse engineering team (no RE experience necessary!)
* Optimize existing software defined modem systems from both a theory and practice perspective - that is, make both conceptual improvements to algorithmic approaches as well as practical improvements to implemented code.
* Architect and implement high-level improvements to SDR systems (scheduling, compute offload, etc.).
We have a strong system in place for remote SDR work and are open to remote candidates for this role. If you're in San Diego and want access to an office with nice equipment, that's even better. This position requires access to technology which is controlled by US Export laws, so you also need to be an eligible US Person.
What we have to offer: $145-200k. Fun, small team dynamic. Work with experts in adjacent fields. Startup environment with good work-life balance and limited red tape. Rapid iteration and feedback in the wild - make a change, deploy it, and see telemetry come back in the same day. Good equipment at the office.
