ABOUT PARAMETRIC Parametric 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.
This 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.
ABOUT THE TEAM The Accounting Platforms team at Parametric:
Is 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.
Ensures the accounting platforms support the full breadth of the business: equities, fixed income, options, and derivatives, across both domestic and international investment strategies.
Owns these platforms end to end: operational health and vendor relationships on one side, and the software that integrates them on the other.
Is 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.
Works 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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The 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.
This 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.
This 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.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Delivery and portfolio
Own a single visible, prioritized portfolio spanning platform operations, BAU demand, and strategic transition, and hold the trade-offs between them.
Own the intake-to-delivery process - sizing, decision rights, stakeholder commitment, and delivery reporting - and keep it fit for purpose as demand changes.
Platform operations
Own 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.
Serve as Primary IT System Owner for the accounting platforms, including data lifecycle management, access controls, audit support, and business continuity and disaster recovery.
Own the working vendor relationships for the vendor-provided and vendor-hosted accounting platforms: escalation, upgrade planning, and service expectations.
Be accountable for the accounting outcomes Parametric depends on and for escalation when those outcomes are at risk.
Ensure the accounting platforms scale efficiently to meet Parametric's growing transaction volumes and data throughput requirements.
Build and sustain subject-matter depth in how Parametric uses each accounting platform: integration points, data-extraction paths, operational dependencies, and failure modes.
Accounting capability in Radius
Own 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.
Own 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.
Own 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.
Strategic transition
Lead the sustained alignment of accounting workflows with Radius: workflow discovery with the business, agreement on target-state use, readiness criteria, delivery, and adoption.
Partner 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.
Keep the transition sequenced against operational continuity, so alignment advances without putting business outcomes at risk.
People
Manage, develop, and grow the team: establishing clear expectations, coaching, career development, hiring, onboarding, and succession planning, including deliberate reduction of single-person knowledge dependencies.
JOB QUALIFICATIONS
Primary Skills
10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing software engineers.
Working knowledge of AI capabilities and practical approaches to applying them in engineering organizations.
Experience leading a technical team through a multi-stakeholder platform build or modernization effort that included business-process change, not only software change.
Ability to effectively operate across business process transformation, operational risk management, software delivery, and technology architecture.
Sufficient hands-on engineering depth to participate in design review and technical trade-off discussions.
Has been accountable for the uptime and operational health of a production system, including monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
Demonstrated 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.
People management experience including performance management, development planning, and hiring.
Experience scaling a platform's capacity and throughput to keep pace with rapid business growth, while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
Preferred Skills
Investment accounting or financial services domain experience; familiarity with portfolio accounting platforms such as Advent APX or comparable systems.
Experience owning a vendor-provided or vendor-hosted platform, including vendor escalation and upgrade management.
Experience delivering data products consumed by business teams under agreed accuracy, timeliness, and performance commitments.
Experience decomposing dependencies on a legacy system into an incremental, business-approved transition program.
Experience leading teams building cloud-native services (AWS preferred), including CI/CD and infrastructure as code.

How to prepare and behave
This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.
Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.
The job is in Minneapolis, MN. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Minneapolis compares. Among the 80 largest places in Minnesota, Minneapolis is #1 by population, #78 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #10 for remote work (#1 = most), #11 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Hennepin County, is #1 of 87 counties for average pay ($90,157).
The place in numbers
Minneapolis has 427,246 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 7.4% of the population of Minnesota. It covers 54 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 7,912 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 14% younger than the state median (33.4 against 38.8).
Housing
The median gross rent is $1,371 a month (rent plus utilities), 7% above the state median ($1,371 against $1,280). Over a year that is 20.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $362,200, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($80,846). 47.7% of households own their home, 34% below the state average (47.7% against 72.2%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
Work and pay
The Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metropolitan area has 1,951,650 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $59,320 a year, 16% above the national median ($59,320 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (214,110 jobs, median $52,920); sales and related (165,000 jobs, median $43,520); food preparation and serving related (160,260 jobs, median $35,000). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (1.3 times) and healthcare support (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($132,590) and legal ($110,530). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Hennepin County was 4.7%. 72.8% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Hennepin County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Getting around
Among workers, 51.9% drive alone, 6.8% use public transit, 5.8% walk, 26.2% work from home. 7.4% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 30% below the state average (7.4% against 10.5%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
People and education
55.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 41% above the state share (55.5% against 39.4%). 13.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 58% above the state share (13.7% against 8.7%). The poverty rate is 16.0%, 72% above the state rate (16.0% against 9.3%).
Climate
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 73°F (22.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 13°F (-10.6°C). About 840 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (130 mm) and Jan the driest (18 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Nearby cities to compare
Closest cities in this guide: Golden Valley (5 miles, rent 30% higher); St. Louis Park (5 miles, rent 20% higher); Robbinsdale (5 miles, rent 28% higher); Columbia Heights (6 miles, rent 6% lower). Rent differences are against Minneapolis; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
