Company Description

AxiaFunder ( www.axiafunder.com ) is a fast growing award-winning innovative online litigation funding platform connecting investors with pre-vetted commercial litigation opportunities that we believe have the potential to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our track record can be viewed here: https://www.axiafunder.com/track-record. We are the only, for profit, crowdfunding litigation platform in Europe.

We are currently seeking a Full Stack Software Developer to join the development team. Initial compensation will be in the range £40,000-£150,000 per annum, plus bonus and stock options, depending on experience, with scope for rapid progression subject to performance. We are seeking someone with a strong commitment to the mission of enabling access to justice by connecting high net worth investors with meritorious claims. In our selection criteria, we place a premium on academic achievement.

Role Description

This is a full-time, on-site role in London for a Full Stack Engineer, joining the development team, with exposure to other parts of the business. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, testing, and maintaining both front-end and back-end components of a Next.js web application. Daily tasks will include interacting with the PostgreSQL database (via Supabase), building and integrating frontend and backend features, collaborating with cross-functional teams, participating in code reviews, and ensuring the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.

• Automate various business workflows and internal processes.

• Back-End Web Development and Software Development skills.
• Front-End Development and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) skills.
• Experience in Full-Stack Development.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Knowledge of the legal industry is a plus.
• A minimum of 2 years of IT development experience is required.
