SEI is a $1.6 trillion AUM custodian and operations provider built on a Microsoft-centric stack (SQL Server, Power BI, Salesforce) with emerging adoption of Docker and cloud analytics (Snowflake, Anaplan). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward finance (50 roles) and operations (28 roles) relative to engineering (9 roles), reflecting a mature, process-heavy business focused on fund accounting, reconciliation, and compliance—not product innovation. Active projects cluster around automation (client onboarding, sales enablement) and operational scaling (service model redesign, NAV reconciliation), with pain points centered on regulatory accuracy and production stability.
Notable leadership hires: Data Analytics Lead, Fund Accounting Director, Head of Service Experience, Head of Professional Services, Regulatory Valuation Lead
