Job description

About Ferovinum:

We’re revolutionising the supply chain and financial foundations of the $800bn global drinks industry by building a platform that will change the way that commerce is executed forever!

We've just secured our Series A funding and are proud to be part of Notion Capital's portfolio. We've already influenced immense change in the UK markets and have personally seen tremendous growth, with over £170 million of product transacted through the platform and increased annual sales by 1,000% since early 2023.

To date we're proud to say that we've deployed over £114m of funding in support of UK wine and spirits producers. As we look to expand our offering globally we're looking for ambitious builders that want to change an industry and be part of the journey with us.

We're first to market and intend to stay ahead of the game! In short, it's the perfect time to join as we aim for unicorn and beyond.

The Role:

Our platform is experiencing explosive growth and requires ongoing architecture upgrades to handle the ever-increasing complexity, all while delivering new features at a rapid pace. As a Staff Engineer you will work alongside our CTO and CPO to deliver new functionalities while making the platform more flexible and scalable.

Our product is like a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle—except the pieces are finance, logistics, and industrial processes. You’ll need to quickly get up to speed and see the big picture. We’re on the hunt for a talented and ambitious individual ready to tackle hard challenges and enjoy the rewarding career that comes with being part of a fast-growing company with a grand vision and a killer product.

We’re expanding our team rapidly, and everyone here gets a seat at the table. You’ll be involved in hiring, mentoring, and nurturing a culture that’s collaborative, ambitious, and laser-focused on results.

Key Requirements:

• Minimum 7 years of solid software engineering experience. You have a track record of leading engineering teams in a startup environment, with a portfolio of successfully shipped features that are more impressive than a rare vintage.
• Startup Samurai: You’ve survived (and thrived in) the fast-paced, ever-changing landscape of startups. You know how to move fast, iterate quickly, and deliver results without losing your cool—or your code.
• 10x Engineer: Your code isn’t just good—it’s artisanal. You write clean, efficient code that’s as smooth as a fine-aged wine and as strong as a double espresso.
• Complexity Slayer: Simplicity isn’t just a goal, it’s your religion. You turn spaghetti code into streamlined elegance, and you believe that every feature should be as easy to use as pouring a glass of wine.
• Tech Polyglot: You’re fluent in multiple programming languages, showing you not only have a passion for coding but also an unquenchable thirst for learning new skills.

• A Bachelors Degree in Computer Science (or equivalent).

Our Tech Stack: We’re very tech agnostic when it comes to the engineers we bring on board to the team. For us it’s all about having strong foundations and the ability to produce great code so don’t be deterred if you don’t have experience in the following:

• TypeScript: React.js (FE) / Node.js (BE)
• Java
• GoLang
• AWS Cloud Infrastructure
• Modularised Monolith
