Alternative asset manager with $65B AUM across credit, real estate, and private equity
Cerberus Capital is a $65B alternative asset manager built on a data and analytics stack heavy with SQL, Python, Snowflake, and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Anaplan), paired with workflow automation (Airflow, dbt, Alteryx). The hiring mix is finance-dominant with meaningful data and engineering depth, and active projects span deal sourcing automation, real-time transaction systems, and generative AI for due diligence—suggesting internal pressure to scale sourcing velocity and compress investment decision cycles.
Cerberus Capital Management, founded in 1992, manages approximately $65 billion in assets across three integrated platforms: credit, real estate, and private equity. The firm invests across the capital structure and operates portfolio companies through in-house operational capabilities. Based in New York with 501–1,000 employees, the firm hires across the United States, India, United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands. Core pain points center on data quality, reporting efficiency, and automating labor-intensive processes (due diligence, deal sourcing, fund formation) to accelerate investment decision-making.
SQL, Python, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Power BI, Tableau, Anaplan, dbt, Apache Airflow, and Alteryx. Front-end work uses React, Node.js, and TypeScript. SAP BusinessObjects, Microsoft Fabric, and Concur also in use.
