Responsibilities

The PJT Partners Technology team is responsible for creating and continuously improving a robust and secure technology foundation that supports the firm’s business activities.

The Data & Applications team within Technology manages business-facing applications and builds the analytics products, AI-powered tools and data infrastructure that connect data, technology and decision-making across the firm. Team members combine finance and business expertise with technical skills in application development, data engineering and data analytics to deliver technology solutions across corporate functions and client advisory.

We are looking for a developer with strong analytics instincts to join us at the intersection of AI, application development and financial services: someone who thrives on ambiguity, enjoys solving hard problems with financial data and is energized by applying emerging analytics tooling and AI capabilities to real business problems.

This is a high-visibility role where the work is meaningful and the people you build for are deeply engaged in what you deliver.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Design, develop and deploy applications and analytics solutions that support client-advisory workflows, with a focus on making financial data more accessible and actionable across the firm;
• Develop subject matter expertise on key financial data elements and business workflows, and translate that understanding into technically sound solutions, making independent decisions on feasibility, tooling and architecture;
• Design and maintain clean, well-modeled datasets and analytics layers that enable business stakeholders to answer their own questions with confidence;
• Own data quality, documentation and reliability for the analytics products and pipelines you build, with a bias toward self-service and scalability;
• Stay current on advancements in AI and analytics technologies, and proactively identify opportunities to apply them to financial services workflows at PJT.
