Job description

Sequel is a digital family office of the world’s best athletes, artists and entrepreneurs backing companies that advance humanity.

We are on a mission to help our clients build legacies for their families and for the world.

We are a seed-stage company founded and backed by experienced serial entrepreneurs with several successful exits.

A world-class team is looking for a world-class full-time Staff Product Engineer to help us build and improve our core product and investment experience.

Design, product and engineering are merging into one role. We are looking for an engineer who owned products before, or for a designer who knows how to build production level solutions.

What you will be working on

• The core investment platform across multiple asset classes and stakeholders
• Improve our processes around shipping bespoke products

We are here to win - not just to take part. Just like our clients who operate at the elite level of sport, we understand that in order to win; we need to put in the work. This means going the extra mile, being willing to do what others will not and holding ourselves to a higher standard. Some companies play to not lose, we play to win. We are proactive, decisive and have the courage to take risks.

We pay it forward - we are always helpful. To customers, to partners and most importantly to each other. Not because it will ‘pay back’, because it’s the right thing to do.

We are adaptable - we understand in a world that is changing faster than ever before - the only constant is change. The average lifespan of a Fortune 100 company in 1958 was 61 years, now it is 18 years. We adapt to a changing world, constantly iterating, moving forward and staying relevant.

Impossible is an opinion - we are on a mission to build something which has never been done before from the ground up. It will be a hard journey full of challenges which are currently unsolved. Our culture is defined by the fact that when we are confronted with challenges, we work from the assumption that it is possible to overcome them.

We are transparent - we challenge each other. Regardless of title, seniority or reporting lines. We give feedback and we are hungry to receive it. We value honest feedback delivered with kindness, and we value people who ask questions.

We always trust, respect and care for each other - it’s no easy feat working in a startup, let alone one with goals as ambitious as ours. At sequel we believe no one is ever too busy to support fellow team members and that we should always be helpful, inclusive and selfless in the way we work. Diversity of background and thought is celebrated as we respect and appreciate what makes us all different. We don’t tolerate free riders, egos or workplace politics.

Who You Are

• Your passion is building compelling products, you understand design, product and engineering
• Knowing about bugs in production that are not fixed makes you nervous
• You previously worked in a product or engineering role for a fintech or investment platform for multiple years
• Proficient in TypeScript
• An avid learner constantly exploring new technologies
• You live and breath product, are organized but love shipping code as well
• A brilliant communicator - you are not afraid to tell if something is going in the wrong direction and you want to correct early on
• You have an existing passion for or an interest in the worlds of startup investing and professional sport or entertainment
• You know your way around Google Cloud Platform

Benefits

• Meaningful options package
• Private healthcare
• We offer perks through Juno, a holistic perks platform
