01.Summary
UG Cortex is the intelligence operating system used internally by UG UAE and licensed to a small number of qualifying institutional clients. We are hiring a full-stack engineer to extend the platform's analytical surface, deal-flow tooling, and operator workflows.
02.What you will do
- Build and maintain user-facing features across the Cortex web application, from data-ingestion pipelines through to operator-facing dashboards.
- Design Postgres schemas and row-level security policies that enforce role-based access across multi-tenant deployments.
- Implement real-time data flows for event streams, ingest queues, and operator alerts.
- Work alongside analysts, field operators, and product to translate operational requirements into shipped software.
- Own features end-to-end, including specification, implementation, instrumentation, and post-deploy verification.
- Use AI-assisted development tooling responsibly within an engineering culture that values rigor over throughput.
- Contribute to architectural decisions on a platform that is regularly reviewed by external security auditors.
03.What we look for
- Demonstrated production experience with TypeScript and modern React, including server components and edge runtimes.
- Strong applied knowledge of Postgres, including schema design, query performance, and row-level security.
- Comfort working on systems where correctness, auditability, and access control are first-order requirements.
- Track record of shipping software in environments where the cost of a defect is non-trivial.
- Pragmatic engineering judgement; preference for clarity over cleverness.
- Ability to communicate technical decisions in writing to a non-technical audience.
- Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
