Specialty finance for risk retention and structured asset deals
Nearwater Capital finances risk retention interests and structured assets under Dodd-Frank regulations for sponsors. The tech stack is finance-first (Bloomberg, Excel, C#, Java, Scala, F#) with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS) — a pattern typical of quant-heavy structured-finance shops. Hiring acceleration (9 roles posted in the last 30 days) is concentrated in finance and ops, with notable gaps in specialized risk and tax roles, suggesting scaling of underwriting and deal operations.
