job summary:
We're looking for a technologist who likes making systems talk to each other. At Alterna
Securities, our advisors and operations teams rely on data that lives across custodians,
portfolio accounting platforms, CRM, and market data providers. Your job is to connect
those pieces - build and maintain the integrations, keep the data clean and reconciled,
and run the projects that move our technology stack forward.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You won't be one of forty people on a
platform team; you'll be the person who scopes an integration, builds it, and sees it
through to the people using it every day.
location: Houston, Texas
job type: Permanent
salary: $90,000 - 120,000 per year
work hours: 9am to 5pm
education: Bachelors
responsibilities:
? Design, build, and maintain integrations between internal systems and third-party
platforms, primarily through REST APIs, scheduled file transfers, and vendor
connectors
? Map and normalize data across sources so that account, position, transaction,
and client records reconcile cleanly
? Monitor integrations in production, troubleshoot failures, and build in the logging
and alerting that catch problems before users do
? Run technology projects end to end - gather requirements from advisors and
operations staff, evaluate vendors, manage timelines, and handle the rollout
? Write and maintain documentation so the work doesn't live only in your head
? Partner with compliance, operations, and sales to ensure data handling meets
regulatory and internal control standards
qualifications:
What we're looking for
? 2-5 years of experience in technology integration, data engineering, solutions
engineering, or a similar hands-on technical role
? Practical experience working with REST APIs - authentication, pagination, error
handling, rate limits
? Comfort with SQL and at least one scripting language (Python preferred) for data
transformation and automation
? Track record of running projects to completion, including the parts that involve
non-technical stakeholders
? Clear written and verbal communication - you can explain a technical constraint
to someone who doesn't care about the technical constraint
? Exposure to wealth management, brokerage, or financial services is strongly
preferred. You don't need to be an expert in portfolio accounting but knowing
what a custodian feed or a performance calculation is will allow you to move
much faster here.
Nice to have
? Experience with custodial data feeds or portfolio management platforms (e.g.,
Schwab/Fidelity/Pershing, Addepar, Salesforce)
? Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and modern data tooling
? Understanding of financial services data security and privacy requirements
