Description
FundApps
is a startup that helps investment managers stay in sync with worldwide
regulations. Our competition is stuck in the dark ages with slow,
clunky, complicated user interfaces and installed software. We're
shaking up the industry - providing a beautiful & intuitive
web-based service which takes away our customer's pains and lets them
get on with what they do best.
Rapptr, our main product, isn't
some shiny but vacant consumer app. There's real complexity both in
terms of volumes of data that we deal with, and how we visualise the
results of hundreds of rules running across thousands of portfolios - in
a way that's simple, understandable and easy to manage.
We ❤️ clean, simple code (and fun times)
We're a
small team of smart, friendly people
who collaborate closely and take pride in delivering amazing software
and providing extraordinary customer support. You’ll help shape what we
work on and how we do it. You won’t be micro-managed or stuck in a rut.
We work hard on challenging problems and have a good time doing it.
We
believe focusing on automation, testing and code quality enables us to
move faster than our competitors whilst delivering better software.
