With offices in more than 41 countries, the Firm's employees serve clients worldwide including corporations, governments, institutions and individuals. For further information about Morgan Stanley, please visit www.morganstanley.com.\nABOUT PARAMETRIC\nParametric is part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the asset management division of Morgan Stanley. We partner with advisors, institutions, and consultants to build portfolios focused on what's important to them and their clients. A leader in custom solutions for more than 30 years, we help investors access efficient market exposures, solve implementation challenges, and design multi-asset portfolios that respond to their evolving needs. We also offer systematic alpha and alternative strategies to complement clients' core holdings.\nThis role is part of Parametric's hybrid working model, which includes working in the office 3 days a week and choosing to work remotely or in the office the remaining days of the week.\nABOUT THE TEAM\nThe Accounting Platforms team at Parametric:\nIs accountable for the reliability and strategic evolution of the accounting platforms Parametric's investment business depends on - a portfolio of vendor-provided, third-party systems alongside one platform built and maintained internally by Parametric engineering teams.\nEnsures the accounting platforms support the full breadth of the business: equities, fixed income, options, and derivatives, across both domestic and international investment strategies.\nOwns these platforms end to end: operational health and vendor relationships on one side, and the software that integrates them on the other.\nIs leading a multi-year initiative to align accounting capabilities with Radius, Parametric's strategic platform, so the business operates on vendor-neutral workflows and services.\nWorks directly with business leaders, solution managers, accounting data consumers, and hundreds of platform users, because the change it is delivering is as much a change to business workflow as it is to software.\nABOUT THE ROLE\nThe Accounting Platforms team is accountable for the operation, stability, and strategic evolution of Parametric's accounting systems. The Manager, Software Engineering will lead the engineering team responsible for these platforms - owning delivery, operations, and people leadership across a portfolio that spans platform reliability, business-as-usual demand, and a multi-year modernization initiative. Parametric's business is growing quickly, and the manager is accountable for ensuring the accounting platforms scale to match - supporting higher transaction volumes and data throughput efficiently and without sacrificing reliability.\nThis is a hands-on technical delivery leadership position - a management role that stays close to the technical detail, engaged in options, design review, and platform behavior, rather than serving as the team's expert engineer. The role leads the discovery and organizational change that alignment requires, and it is accountable for the two engineering capabilities on which it depends: making high-value accounting datasets available to the business consumers who need them, and the Radius Accounting Service, whose APIs and Kafka interfaces expose accounting capability in Parametric's own trade and transaction language rather than any accounting platform's.\nThis role requires a leader who can establish direction, build alignment across business and technology stakeholders, and drive execution across a portfolio of operational, strategic, and technology initiatives. Success depends on balancing platform stability, operational risk, business priorities, and long-term modernization efforts. The role partners closely with a Principal Software Engineer who provides architectural leadership and technical direction, and together they guide technology decisions, delivery priorities, and platform evolution.\nPRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES\nDelivery and portfolio\nOwn a single visible, prioritized portfolio spanning platform operations, BAU demand, and strategic transition, and hold the trade-offs between them.\nOwn the intake-to-delivery process - sizing, decision rights, stakeholder commitment, and delivery reporting - and keep it fit for purpose as demand changes.\nPlatform operations\nOwn the operational health of the accounting platforms: reliability, monitoring and alerting, runbooks, incident response and review, known-risk tracking, and escalation paths both internally and to vendors.\nServe as Primary IT System Owner for the accounting platforms, including data lifecycle management, access controls, audit support, and business continuity and disaster recovery.\nOwn the working vendor relationships for the vendor-provided and vendor-hosted accounting platforms: escalation, upgrade planning, and service expectations.\nBe accountable for the accounting outcomes Parametric depends on and for escalation when those outcomes are at risk.\nEnsure the accounting platforms scale efficiently to meet Parametric's growing transaction volumes and data throughput requirements.\nBuild and sustain subject-matter depth in how Parametric uses each accounting platform: integration points, data-extraction paths, operational dependencies, and failure modes.\nAccounting capability in Radius\nOwn the Radius Accounting Service: the APIs and Kafka interfaces that map Parametric’s business domain concepts onto each accounting platform’s integration model, so consumers work in business language rather than accounting-system detail.\nOwn the design of high-value accounting data products; partner with automation teams to build the extraction pipelines, and monitor them as supported products with agreed quality, timeliness, and performance expectations.\nOwn integration between the accounting platforms and Radius in both directions: data flowing into the accounting platforms, and accounting capability surfaced through the Radius Accounting Service.\nStrategic transition\nLead the sustained alignment of accounting workflows with Radius: workflow discovery with the business, agreement on target-state use, readiness criteria, delivery, and adoption.\nPartner with business leaders and solution managers to hold a current, viable transition path for accounting workflows, and revise it as the platforms and the business change.\nKeep the transition sequenced against operational continuity, so alignment advances without putting business outcomes at risk.\nPeople\nManage, develop, and grow the team: establishing clear expectations, coaching, career development, hiring, onboarding, and succession planning, including deliberate reduction of single-person knowledge dependencies.\nJOB QUALIFICATIONS\nPrimary Skills\n10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing software engineers.\nWorking knowledge of AI capabilities and practical approaches to applying them in engineering organizations.\nExperience leading a technical team through a multi-stakeholder platform build or modernization effort that included business-process change, not only software change.\nAbility to effectively operate across business process transformation, operational risk management, software delivery, and technology architecture.\nSufficient hands-on engineering depth to participate in design review and technical trade-off discussions.\nHas been accountable for the uptime and operational health of a production system, including monitoring, alerting, and incident response.\nDemonstrated ability to learn new domains quickly, establish direction, and make informed decisions when information, requirements or priorities are evolving. Establishes productive, professional relationships with senior individual contributors while constructively challenging technical assumptions and approaches.\nPeople management experience including performance management, development planning, and hiring.\nExperience scaling a platform's capacity and throughput to keep pace with rapid business growth, while maintaining efficiency and reliability.\nPreferred Skills\nInvestment accounting or financial services domain experience; familiarity with portfolio accounting platforms such as Advent APX or comparable systems.\nExperience owning a vendor-provided or vendor-hosted platform, including vendor escalation and upgrade management.\nExperience delivering data products consumed by business teams under agreed accuracy, timeliness, and performance commitments.\nExperience decomposing dependencies on a legacy system into an incremental, business-approved transition program.\nExperience leading teams building cloud-native services (AWS preferred), including CI/CD and infrastructure as code.\nParametric believes each member of our organization makes a significant contribution to our success.
