About Arootah
Arootah is a talent solutions firm purpose-built for the alternative investment industry. We advise and we execute, covering the full talent spectrum from entry to exit across five services: Talent Acquisition, Fractional Leadership, Talent Development, Retention & Compensation, and Transition.
Most talent firms solve one problem. Because we cover the full spectrum, we can help clients identify and solve the right one. We start with diagnosis, then deliver.
Our team has run alternative investment firms at the highest levels as COOs, CFOs, and CCOs. That operator experience, combined with 15+ years of alternatives-specific recruiting and a network of 700+ vetted advisors across 18 functional disciplines, is what makes the advice credible and the execution reliable. We also draw on a network of 600+ coaches, deploying those with specific experience guiding senior executives in the alternatives industry.
One industry. One talent partner. Entry to exit.

\nWhat We Need- Build and maintain full-stack web and mobile-friendly applications, including React-based front ends and their supporting data layers.
- Design and maintain Airtable bases (schema, automations, interfaces, and data quality) that back internal and client-facing tools.
- Build workflow automations in n8n and Zapier that connect the CRM, forms, databases, and other services.
- Integrate third-party and AI services (for example, LLM APIs such as Anthropic's Claude) into applications and workflows where they add value.
- Test, debug, and optimize applications for performance, reliability, and usability.
- Collaborate with leadership, the Tech Project Manager, and external vendors to scope work and ship in tight, disciplined cycles.
- Document systems and establish maintainable patterns so no single tool depends on one person.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated experience shipping full-stack web and application projects, including a modern JavaScript framework (React preferred).
- Strong front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and experience building responsive, user-friendly interfaces.
- Strong experience using Airtable as an application backend (linked records, automations, interfaces).
- Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n and/or Zapier) and integrating third-party APIs.
- Hands-on experience integrating AI or LLM services (for example, Anthropic's Claude) into applications.
- Familiarity with Claude Code (Anthropic's agentic coding tool), or a willingness to adopt it to ship quickly.
- Comfort operating as a sole or near-sole engineer: self-directed, and disciplined about scope and documentation.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
