Alternative investment platform for independent wealth advisors
CAIS operates a B2B SaaS platform serving independent financial advisors and alternative asset managers through the full investment lifecycle (pre-trade, trade, post-trade). The tech stack—Salesforce, AWS infrastructure (EKS, RDS, IAM), Python with scikit-learn and PyTorch, plus Transformers—reveals an organization layering machine learning and observability onto a core wealth-management system. Active projects around Kubernetes cluster design, AWS automation, and agentic solution deployment signal infrastructure maturity and movement toward ML-driven workflow automation to address their core pain: scaling client operations and retention without proportional cost growth.
CAIS is a fintech platform founded in 2009 that consolidates alternative investment operations for independent financial advisors and asset managers. The platform serves over 2,000 wealth management firms representing more than 62,000 advisors managing approximately $7 trillion in end-client assets. CAIS operates across pre-trade, trade, and post-trade workflows, positioning itself as an operating system for wealth and alternatives teams. Headquartered in New York with offices in London, Austin, and Red Bank, the company employs 201–500 people and is actively hiring across sales, data, and support functions. Current priorities include deepening relationships with existing enterprise clients, improving onboarding efficiency, and ensuring platform reliability at scale.
CAIS uses Salesforce and AWS (EKS, RDS, IAM) as core infrastructure, Python with scikit-learn, SciPy, and PyTorch for analytics and ML, plus Microsoft 365 and Intune for internal operations. Recent project focus on Kubernetes and AWS automation indicates expanding infrastructure depth.
Current projects include Kubernetes cluster design on AWS EKS, AWS infrastructure automation, observability practices, scalable workflow automation, rules-based process automation, and agentic solution deployment. These align with platform reliability and efficiency goals for their 2,000+ client firms.
