Sr. Software Development Engineer - Energy & Commodities

Job Description:Senior Software Developer, Energy & Commodities Location: New York (hybrid, 4 days per week in office)

Clearwater Analytics is the leading SaaS platform for investment accounting, risk, and performance. We serve some of the world's largest insurance companies, hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investors. We deliver decision-ready risk analytics that bring clarity and insight to multi-asset portfolios, highlighting exposures, sensitivities, scenarios, and performance drivers.

As a Senior Software Developer on the Energy & Commodities team, you will design, build, deploy, and maintain the systems that capture and manage commodity trades and their risk on our platform. You will work closely with the Quantitative Developers who build our pricing libraries, with Product Managers, and directly with clients to turn complex trading and risk workflows into reliable, well-designed software. You will lead design within your area of the platform and help raise the engineering standard of the team.

What You'll Do

· Design, build, deploy, and maintain features for trade capture, trade lifecycle, position management, and risk workflows for global commodities (OTC and exchange-traded, financial and physical).

· Extend the platform frameworks that consume pricing libraries: deal models, market data and curve management, risk batch execution (e.g. Greeks, VaR, scenario analysis), cashflow generation, and reporting.

· Translate business, functional, and client requirements into well-designed features, in partnership with Product Managers and Quantitative Developers.

· Lead design and feature discussions within the team, apply the team's architectural standards and design patterns, and participate in design and code reviews.

· Contribute to codebases in other languages like Java, TypeScript, and Rust as projects require.

· Build and maintain containerized services and deployment pipelines and improve the observability and performance of workloads.

· Write clean, well-tested code, and maintain multiple levels of automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end).

· Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents promptly and effectively.

· Mentor new and less experienced engineers.

· Produce high-quality documentation that supports and expands engineering solutions, for both technical and non-technical audiences.

· Apply and help refine best practices for AI use in development, operations, and the products themselves.

What We're Looking For

· 7+ years of professional software development experience, including strong production work in Python.
