About the role
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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Data Pipelines + Vendor Integrations
-
Ingest holdings/prices/corporate actions/vendor files via SFTP and APIs.
-
Reconcile data, surface exceptions, and build monitoring/retry tooling.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
