The Role

As part of the engineering team, you'll be working on a suite of innovative products that monitor over US$26 trillion in assets under management every single day, used by some of the world's largest Investment Managers. We are looking for an Entry to Mid-Level Front End Engineer who can help drive innovation and deliver great software at pace while also keeping sustainability in mind. We need highly motivated, intelligent people hungry for a challenge.

At FundApps, you'll see the inner workings of a fast-growing, bootstrapped scaleup where we expect all Engineers to take responsibility for their part in our success, seek support when needed, and care equally about our products and client outcomes as you do about writing code. We solve business problems through technology, not just ship code.

We like keeping our tech stack modern and are not afraid to invest to keep it cutting edge! As such we’ve implemented a component-library that allows our more backend focused folk to create new interfaces with ease; we’re using nx to break down a monolithic UI into discrete products; and we are looking forward to connecting our products in new ways this year, with your help.

Our tech stack

• Back-end: C#
• Data storage: PostgreSQL; Amazon storage including Aurora, DynamoDB, S3
• Infrastructure: Terraform & AWS, using Fargate, Lambdas, Step functions, and a lot more!
• Pipeline: GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, Serverless
• Front-end: React, TypeScript, Rest APIs, React Testing Library, Cypress

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working closely with product experts, customers and the rest of our technical team.
• Building new features end-to-end with your team across our growing range of products.
• Being an integral member of our UI Guild to continually improve shared processes to build, test and release our software
• Teaching and guiding engineers with less experience in frontend how to build things right and to optimise our product for our clients.
• Contributing flexibly across the whole stack as needed. Whilst we have .NET at the core of our stack, we’re pragmatic about other technologies and open-minded about your technology background.
• Breaking down complex epics into bite-sized stories to optimise for flow (we work Kanban-style).
• Working with Product and Engineering management to deliver value continuously, and keep all stakeholders in the loop

What you'll bring to the team:

• Experience with React and React Hooks
• Strong JavaScript and Typescript
• Strong proficiency in HTML and CSS
• Experience using monorepo and build tools like Nx, Vite or similar libraries
• Experience with responsive and adaptive design
• Experience of agile development practices - at work or in your own projects (TDD, CI/CD)
• Familiarity working with REST APIs

For Extra Sparkle

• Strong proficiency in testing frameworks (i.e. Testing Library, Jest, Cypress and Playwright)
• Experience working with design systems
• Strong commitment to web accessibility, security and performance
• Experience with ASP.NET Web API, MVC or similar frameworks
• Familiarity with AWS services (S3, DynamoDB and similar)

Salary

The range for this role is £65,000 - £75,000 depending on experience.
