From Castleton Tower's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The Firm
Castleton Tower is a boutique consulting firm founded by executives who have built and led quantitative research, data science, and technology teams at top-tier hedge funds and asset managers. We work exclusively with investment management firms (asset allocators, asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and RIAs) helping them modernize their data infrastructure and build AI-ready foundations.
What makes us different: We're a lean firm where senior practitioners do the actual work. No armies of junior consultants learning on your dime. Our engagements blend high-level strategy with hands-on technical implementation. We'll assess your technical & business strategy, design your data architecture, and code up the full-stack infrastructure where needed.
The Opportunity
We're looking for someone who lives at the intersection of data engineering and investment analytics. You'll be equally comfortable building a production data pipeline in Python and presenting portfolio analytics insights to a CIO. This role blends hands-on technical work with strategic client engagement — you'll build the data infrastructure and derive the business insights that drive investment decisions.
This is not a pure engineering role or a pure strategy role. It's both. You'll design Snowflake schemas in the morning, build dbt models after lunch, and walk a client through their portfolio risk dashboard before the end of day.
Lead full-scope projects from architecture design through analytics delivery — not just strategy decks or just code
Work alongside the firm's Principals on every engagement
Work with best-in-class tools (Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Dagster, Sigma, AWS, etc.) and cutting-edge AI/agentic development workflows
Compensation
Competitive total compensation commensurate with experience
This role offers a path to join a leading Bay Area-based asset allocator, with an anticipated transition by January 2027
