Fundnel is building the future of private capital markets. Traditionally a space only for the wealthy and well-connected, we believe in a future where private markets are more accessible to investors and fundraisers. By leveling the playing field we hope to create a more equitable economy, where inspiring companies are connected to inspired investors, whoever and wherever they are.
Leveraging our trusted brand, global networks and incredible team, we’re building a technology-enabled, end-to-end private markets ecosystem that is as diverse and dynamic as our investor network. A key part of this effort is bridging the gap between traditional approaches to investment and the rapidly evolving opportunities in decentralized finance. As we progress on this ambitious journey, we’re looking for energetic and creative people to support and leave their mark on our platform.
As a Software Engineer at Fundnel, you will have the opportunity to leverage and continue to develop your full-stack software skills in a modern and rapidly evolving development environment, while also being deeply integrated into a broader team that’s on the leading edge of financial innovation. API/service-driven architectures, serverless infrastructure, blockchain, data pipelines, front-end frameworks and no-code platforms are all key elements of our technological ecosystem that you will be exposed to.
Operating across all of Fundnel Group, Services is a back-end focused team that builds and maintains the common services layer into which our platforms, partner integrations, third-party tooling, internal tooling, data pipelines and exchange all connect. Members of this team have a deep, holistic view of Group-wide business processes, and must balance the detailed requirements of each department with abstract “big picture” thinking that ensures the team builds the most flexible common technological infrastructure to serve a diverse set of stakeholders, each rapidly evolving strategies.
As with all engineers in our teams, your job doesn’t stop at writing code. You’ll be a key technical stakeholder in our feature planning process, helping to map complex business requirements to technical solutions and offering your ideas and opinions. We build quickly but carefully – the security and privacy of our investors and partners is paramount, so you’ll be keeping these front-of-mind throughout all of the work that you do.
We’re a supportive, social, and entrepreneurial team of former investment bankers, technologists and strategists. Clear, honest communication is key to everything we do.
The sorts of things you’ll be doing:
Working on one or more of our technical teams as a key contributor to our code base
Participating in code reviews within and outside of your team to help continuously improve the quality of our code
Having the opportunity to own your own deliverables, working with business stakeholders and peers on your team from planning through to release
Contributing to the continued development of our infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
In consultation with our Data team, evolve the data schemas that underpin our business processes
Adding to our automated testing framework
Taking part in regular security testing
Keeping up to date with the latest in tooling and industry best practice, ensuring that we’re constantly discussing, evaluating and implementing the best
Expressing your ideas, opinions and feedback on our tech stack, tooling and culture to ensure we’re always improving as a technology team and as a company
As our Software Engineer, we know you’ll be doing significant learning on the job. That said, we’re hoping from Day 1 you’ll bring:
2-3 years of software engineering experience
Strong experience in at least one object-oriented and/or functional programming language. We’re language-agnostic in our hiring, but have JavaScript/Node, Python, GoLang, Rails and others in our ecosystem stack
Experience with writing unit tests
Good experience with source control systems like Github or Bitbucket, and how they work within a team
Good code review habits, knowing what to watch out for in your peers code, and commenting frequently and constructively
Good knowledge of relational databases. Non-relational experience is an asset.
Familiarity with using RESTful APIs, as well as common authentication mechanisms involved
Beyond the technology, we also hope you’ve got some interest in:
Financial services, particularly the investment space
Digitised and decentralized finance (DeFi), and all the new financial products and possibilities that come with these innovations (cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, NFTs, etc.)
An appreciation for experimentation and designing systems/processes that accommodate business and technical agility
Food! We talk about it a lot :)
As a close-knit, social team we generally prefer to work together in person at one of our offices. That said, we provide a flexible working environment that is adaptable to periods of working from home.
