Front-End Engineer

Daphne aims to revolutionize the distribution of alternative funds. We have investment from industry leaders, Apollo Global Management, Hamilton Lane, and Motive Partners, and we are redefining how alternative asset managers engage with their partners. Daphne's technology transitions traditional data rooms into dynamic product pages, enhancing an asset manager's fund marketing and due-diligence process into a more engaging experience for distributors and direct investors alike. In addition, Daphne can support the digital distribution of the fund product data, to any distribution channel, internal investor portals, through to wealth management channels and beyond.
