- ### **About Us**
Corgi is building an ETF issuer that moves at software speed. ETFs are one of the most successful financial products ever created — and the tooling behind launching, operating, and reporting for ETFs is still stuck in email chains, PDFs, and manual checklists.
Our goal is simple: **turn ETF operations + compliance into software**. If you like hard systems problems, messy real-world constraints, and shipping things that immediately matter, you’ll fit right in.
### **About the Role**
You’ll build internal products (and public-facing web surfaces) that make launching and running ETFs faster, more consistent, and more observable. You’ll work close to real workflows: regulatory filings and disclosure updates, approvals and evidence capture, fund accounting interfaces, vendor data, board materials, compliance logs, QA, reporting, and analytics.
This is an end-to-end role: you’ll design workflows, build backend services and data pipelines, ship polished UIs, and run production systems. Our backend demands correctness, traceability, and auditability; our public web presence demands visual polish and high-performance UX.
**Skills:** Python, TypeScript, SQL, AWS (or equivalent), strong product/ops instincts.
### **What You’ll Build (examples)**
### **1) Filing Automation + Disclosure QA**
* Generate, edit, and QA disclosure content; enforce versioning, approvals, and checklists/redlines.
* Produce SEC EDGAR-ready outputs, including support for Inline XBRL (iXBRL) tagging/validation where applicable.
### **2) Compliance Workflows**
* Codify policies into systems (controls, approvals, escalation paths).
* Build permissioned workflows with evidence capture (what changed, who approved, when, and why).
* Implement change control, audit-ready logs, and review queues aligned with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission expectations.
### **3) Data Pipelines + Vendor Integrations**
* Ingest holdings/prices/corporate actions/vendor files via SFTP and APIs.
* Reconcile data, surface exceptions, and build monitoring/retry tooling.
### **4) Automated Fund Presence “source of truth”**
* Own the automated “source of truth” for our funds: systems that take vendor/fund-admin data (SFTP/API) and power our public fund pages and internal analytics.
* Build guardrails around data provenance, versioning, and reconciliation so changes are explainable and reviewable.
* Design exception queues and operational tooling so issues are visible, triaged, and resolved quickly.
### **5) Public Web Surfaces & Investor Analytics**
* Develop and scale our web infrastructure for reliability, performance, SEO, and accessibility.
* Build interactive investor tools: performance calculators, comparison tools, and exposure breakdowns that are fast and mobile-responsive.
* Security-first mindset: implement WAFs, secure header management, sensible access controls, and operational monitoring for public web services.
* Your work will be a primary interface for investors—turning complex fund data into clear, usable, and visually polished web experiences.
### **6) UI Design + Product Execution**
* Create and implement beautiful, efficient internal tools: fast UIs, clean information architecture, and sensible defaults.
* Collaborate in Figma and carry designs through to high-quality implementation.
* Sweat details: loading/empty states, error handling, permissions, and review/approval flows that feel obvious.
### **You’ll Thrive Here if You**
* Have interest in the financial markets, especially ETFs.
* Can own features end-to-end (backend → UI → deployment).
* Are familiarity with SEC EDGAR–related workflows and Inline XBRL (iXBRL) concepts (or ability to ramp fast).
* Have experience building dashboards, charting, reporting UIs, and analytics products (interactive tables, performance charts, exposure breakdowns).
* Have production experience operating systems on major cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
* Love turning ambiguous ops problems into clean systems.
* Are comfortable with regulated/controlled environments (auditability matters).
* Write maintainable code fast, and care about correctness.
* Have strong UI judgment and ability to implement clean, fast interfaces.
### **Nice to Have**
* Fintech, markets, accounting, or compliance experience.
* Experience with LLM-assisted tooling (retrieval, evals, guardrails, human-in-the-loop review).
* Familiarity with ETFs / fund ops / reporting (you can learn fast if you’re sharp).
* Experience with iXBRL tagging/validation and SEC filing workflows.
* Experience with quantitative trading or systematic investing.
### **Why Join**
* **Real leverage:** your tools will compress weeks of work into hours.
* **High ownership:** you’ll shape the product surface area, architecture, and standards.
* **Direct impact:** every improvement hits real workflows immediately.
