Role Overview
This role sits within Private Wealth Technology and will design, build, and support modern, data-intensive web applications and internal tools used across our platforms.

- Work with interactive data grids, filtering, exporting, and rich data views (e.g., AG Grid or similar libraries) under the direction of senior engineers.
- Develop and optimize SQL queries, database views, and data models to support reporting, workflow, and operational needs.
- Support system integrations using REST APIs and secure data exchange practices.
- Work with Microsoft Azure services, including Azure Web Apps, Azure Functions, and Azure Data Factory, building working proficiency over time.
- Contribute to data platform and warehousing initiatives involving relational databases and cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks.
- Partner with business stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate business processes into technical deliverables.
- Use AI tools to improve personal productivity in analysis, documentation, development, and troubleshooting, and help identify practical opportunities for AI within team workflows.
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, testing, and knowledge-sharing with the broader team.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
- 4–5 years of experience in software engineering, application development, data engineering, or technology consulting.
- Experience building modern web applications and data-intensive user interfaces, using a modern front-end framework (React preferred).
- Strong grounding in data modeling, database design, building database views, and query performance optimization.
- Experience with Microsoft Azure, including web apps, Azure Functions, and Azure Data Factory.
- Proficiency in SQL and relational databases; working knowledge of Python or a similar language.
- Experience with REST APIs and system integrations.
- Prior experience in financial services, asset management, or a related industry, with genuine interest in learning how an alternative asset management platform operates.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AG Grid or similar interactive data grid libraries.
- Familiarity with Azure identity, access, and networking concepts (e.g., Entra ID / Azure AD, RBAC, VNets).
- Exposure to cloud-based data platforms and data warehousing technologies (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks).
- Cloud-native architecture and DevOps practices (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps).
- Familiarity with enterprise data governance and data management practices.
- Experience with AI-powered applications, large language models, Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, or similar technologies.
- Curiosity about the business — comfortable engaging with business stakeholders and motivated to understand how Blue Owl's platforms (Credit, Real Assets, GP Strategic Capital) and the private wealth distribution model work.
