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.
Requirements
We
are looking for motivated, intelligent individuals who love to code to
join our close-knit engineering team. We pride ourselves in getting our
engineers up and running fast – expect to build and deploy your first
feature in week one.
About you
- You get a thrill from getting things done and deployed to users.
- You
care about your craft and are hungry to learn new skills and improve
your existing ones. Whilst we have .NET at the core of our stack, we’re
pragmatic about other technologies and open-minded about your technology
background.
- You know and appreciate automated testing, clean code and continuous deployment.
- You are a pragmatist who believes in strong opinions weakly held.
- You have working rights in the UK
What will I be working on?
You’ll
be able to work across the whole stack - from automating infrastructure
and tweaking back-end message processing through to front end design
and UI. Some of the challenges we're tackling right now include:
- UI. We're head and shoulders above our competitors, but have a long way to go to evolve our user experience.
- Data.
Our customers are growing, the amount of data they're sending us is
growing. How do we handle the increasing volume of data, what tools can
we build to gain insight from our data?.
- Architecture. We're
breaking out our components into standalone services - not quite
micro-services but we're getting there. Our goal is to shift the
complexity from individual components to the communication between them.
- Automated infrastructure. We run all our services in AWS with fully automated deployments.
- Security. How can we ensure we exceed the highest security expectations of our customers, in the cloud.
- Features. What
do you build, how much do you build, when do you build it? Our ongoing
challenge is to be responsive to customers whilst staying laser focused
on our vision.

- AWS, Slack, GitHub, Sentry
