Our ethos revolves around customer obsession and our ability to solve difficult problems well for our customers. We believe in fostering a culture of transparency, integrity, and accountability, where every team member is empowered to take ownership, act with urgency, and earn the trust of our colleagues, clients, and partners.

Join us on our journey to reshape the future of private market investing and unlock new opportunities for wealth managers and investors alike.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in building and scaling our software solutions. You will be a technical leader within the team, contributing to architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving best practices while remaining hands-on with coding. This role does not involve line management but requires a strong ability to guide and support the team through technical challenges.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you should be highly proficient in both front-end and back-end technologies, comfortable working with modern frameworks, and have a deep understanding of software development best practices. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead on designing and implementing scalable client-side and server-side architecture.
• Drive technical excellence, promoting best practices in software development, testing, and deployment.
• Work closely with product managers and engineers to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.

• Ensure applications are performant, secure, and maintainable.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across the stack.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and proactively suggest improvements to technology and processes.
• Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing within the team.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Senior Full Stack Engineer or similar role.
• Expertise in TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks (we use Vue.js, but experience with other frameworks and a willingness to learn Vue is fine).
• Strong experience in back-end development, working with cloud-based infrastructure.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Terraform is a plus.
• Proficiency in working with document-based databases such as Firestore.
• A deep understanding of software architecture, scalability, and performance optimisation.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to debug and resolve complex issues.
• A collaborative mindset, with experience mentoring engineers and contributing to a strong engineering culture.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.

Benefits

• 28 days holiday p/a + Bank holidays (with the option to roll up to 5 days p/a).
• Employee Share Options.
• Private Health Insurance.
• Private Dental Cover.
• Life Insurance (3x salary).
• Flex benefit allowance.
• EAP support.
• Company pension.
• ParentPromise Digital new parent support.
• Salary sacrifice options for:
