Associate Product Engineer

About Us ACA Group is the leading governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) advisor in financial services. What sets us apart is the breadth and depth of our integrated platform — we offer the most comprehensive compliance technology platform on the market integrating over a dozen purpose-built modules. Our competitors offer only one or two. We also operate on a unique User/Provider Model: our technology is used not only by our clients but also internally across our managed services and advisory practices. This creates a powerful feedback loop — every enhancement is grounded in firsthand experience, driving real-world performance and usability. **OFFICE LOCATION: Durham, NC (2 days in office at the American Tobacco Campus) ** Role Overview We’re building a full-stack technology team to drive our platform forward and are hiring at all levels of experience. Whether you’re an early-career developer or a seasoned architect, you’ll help shape a next-generation platform at the intersection of finance, technology and AI. We’re looking for voracious learners, intuitive problem solvers, and people who are just as interested in understanding the “why” behind the business as the “how” behind the code. If you’re intensely curious and driven to master both technology and the domain it serves, ACA is the place to do it. Key Responsibilities Design and implement cloud-native software used by top-tier financial institutions. Work across the stack — from front-end UX to back-end services and infrastructure.

Experience building modern front-end applications using Angular or React . Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Microsoft Azure . Familiarity with microservices, APIs, and cloud-native application development. Who You Are Intensely curious and motivated by the pursuit of mastery — at the intersection of technology and finance. A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments. Excited by the complexity of financial systems and the opportunity to build tools that make them safer and more efficient. Experienced in software development, but not limited by title or background—we care more about how you think than what’s on your résumé. Our Technology Our platform is a fully cloud-native , globally distributed SaaS solution architected for scale, security, and flexibility. We use a modern stack of containerized microservices, real-time data pipelines, and API-first services designed for extensibility. We embed AI throughout the platform , powering automation, intelligent risk detection, and smarter workflows — always with a human-in-the-loop to ensure quality and accountability. Our software supports a wide array of compliance functions including surveillance, testing, marketing review, and more. Tap in. Build smart. Move fast. We’re hiring.
