Your Role:
As a Senior Software Engineer in Portfolio Implementation, you will operate with broad ownership and technical authority across core investment systems, including:
- Leading the design and implementation of portfolio implementation platforms that consume research outputs, perform constrained optimizations, and generate orders
- Owning and evolving distributed, microservice-based systems that operate reliably at scale
- Lead architectural design for high-performance, high-volume, highly available systems, making informed trade-offs across performance, flexibility, and maintainability
- Delivering complex, cross-cutting initiatives that span multiple services, teams
- Providing technical leadership to small teams (typically 2–5 engineers), including task planning, design reviews, and execution oversight
- Mentoring and coaching engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on guidance
- Partnering with a global team of researchers, portfolio managers and engineers to deliver robust, production-quality solutions on time
What You’ll Bring:
- Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in Java
- Strong experience using Python in production or research-adjacent environments
- Proven ability to design, build, and operate large-scale, distributed systems
- Experience operating microservice-based architectures, using technologies such as Java, Elasticsearch, Redis, RabbitMQ / AMQ, and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server)
- Strong command of engineering best practices, including code quality, design documentation, peer code reviews, automated testing, and test coverage
- Experience operating, tuning, and profiling high-performance systems in production environments
- Experience with observability and monitoring platforms (e.g., New Relic) and using metrics to drive reliability and performance improvements
- Ability to lead technical change, manage risk, and drive initiatives to completion in complex environments
- Experience contributing to requirements capture, technical specification, and work breakdown
- Ability to estimate work, plan delivery, and manage technical trade-offs
- Interest in financial markets and the investment process
Who You Are:
- A strong technical leader who takes ownership of outcomes, not just implementations
- Comfortable driving large, ambiguous initiatives from concept through delivery
- Effective at mentoring and developing engineers, setting clear expectations and providing constructive feedback
- Able to balance hands-on contribution with leadership and oversight
- Collaborative, thoughtful, and effective working across disciplines and geographies
- Committed to intellectual integrity, transparency, and openness

This job is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
We offer comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k), and any other benefits to eligible employees.
Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable. The amount and availability of any bonus, commission, benefits, or any other form of compensation and benefits that are allocable to a particular employee remains in the Company's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with the law.

Which companies sponsor visas for analytics engineers in Connecticut?
Financial services and insurance firms lead H-1B sponsorship for analytics engineers in Connecticut. Cigna, Hartford Financial Services, Synchrony, and Henkel have filed LCAs for data and analytics roles in recent years. Stamford-based hedge funds and asset managers also hire analytics engineers, though sponsorship practices vary by firm size and internal immigration policy. Larger employers with established HR infrastructure tend to sponsor more consistently.
Which visa types are most common for analytics engineer roles in Connecticut?
The H-1B is the most common visa for analytics engineers in Connecticut, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, data engineering, or a related field. Candidates already holding an O-1A or those transferring from an L-1 at a multinational firm also appear in Connecticut filings. F-1 graduates on OPT frequently use Connecticut roles as their H-1B sponsorship entry point.
Which cities in Connecticut have the most analytics engineer sponsorship jobs?
Stamford and Hartford generate the majority of analytics engineer sponsorship activity in Connecticut. Stamford's concentration of financial services and media companies drives demand for data pipeline and transformation work, while Hartford's insurance sector relies heavily on analytics infrastructure roles. New Haven has a smaller but growing presence, partly connected to Yale University's research affiliates and the life sciences companies clustered nearby.
How to find analytics engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Connecticut?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically to roles where employers have a documented history of visa sponsorship, making it easier to focus your search on analytics engineer positions in Connecticut without sorting through companies that won't sponsor. You can filter by state and role to surface relevant openings across Stamford, Hartford, and New Haven. This saves significant time compared to manually checking LCA filings for each employer.
Are there state-specific considerations for analytics engineers seeking sponsorship in Connecticut?
Connecticut's prevailing wage requirements for H-1B analytics engineer roles are calculated based on the Stamford or Hartford metropolitan statistical areas, which tend to reflect the compensation expectations of competitive financial and insurance markets. Employers filing Labor Condition Applications must meet DOL wage levels for the specific work location, so a role in Stamford may carry different prevailing wage thresholds than one in New Haven. University pipelines from Yale and UConn also feed entry-level analytics talent into Connecticut's sponsoring employers.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored analytics engineer jobs in Connecticut?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
