We are currently seeking a staff software engineer to join Addepar's Files Platform team! This team is responsible for Addepar's enterprise file management platform — building the distributed systems that power secure file storage, access control, and third-party integrations for wealth management firms.
In this role, you'll tackle challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and enterprise-scale access control — designing solutions that scale from small advisory firms to the largest wealth managers in the world.
We want people who are excited by hard distributed systems problems: designing idempotent event-driven pipelines and building infrastructure that handles bursty workloads while meeting strict latency SLAs. If you've built systems that reconcile state across service boundaries, worked on event-driven architectures at scale, or are passionate about solving complex authorization and data access problems, join us!

Architect, implement, and maintain backend services that manage file storage, permissions synchronization, and third-party integrations at enterprise scale — writing well-designed, testable code.
Design and build event-driven systems for real-time permission propagation across Addepar's financial graph and external storage providers, meeting compliance revocation SLAs.
Collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, security, and compliance partners on projects involving sensitive data access controls.
Contribute to migration efforts (e.g., FileVault to Box, webhook consolidation, folder structure evolution) ensuring zero-downtime rollouts for production firms.
Mentor other engineers on the team and promote engineering best practices and principles.
Explore and build AI-powered capabilities for intelligent file processing, automated metadata extraction, and content-aware workflows
