Venture Capital jobs in United Kingdom

We are expanding our technology team and looking for a highly intelligent and motivated Senior Javascript Developer, who wants to do the best work of their career yet.

About Further

Further’s mission is to deliver market-leading modern fund administration software. With our products, venture capital funds, who manage billions of pounds of assets on our platform, can invest in the startups of tomorrow.

Operational efficiency is critical to their day-to-day work and our system enables them to automate key processes like investor onboarding, fund administration and investor reporting.

Our team and its ethos

We believe the best people attract the best people, and we are a group of likeminded engineers and product experts with open minds and deep individual expertise.

We hire deliberately, focusing on talent, personal drive and individual accountability. We are not a training ground: our team is made of experts working together to build something an order of magnitude better than what existed before Further.

Each member of our team is highly experienced. As one recent joiner said about another team member, “X is a better engineer than I have seen in all my previous roles”. This embodies what we focus on: we’re a team of quality over quantity, and we can guarantee that being a part of Further will be an enriching and interesting opportunity for you - likely the most fruitful and rewarding part of your career.

In this role, you can expect a highly meritocratic and ideas-focused environment. The whole team works at pace, has an open-mind to new ideas, and we are early adopters of new technology, including new AI products as they release (ditching them swiftly if they turn out not to be up to scratch!!).

Our engineering team is the critical hub of our business, and>75% of the headcount, and the company works hard to clear roadblocks for our team, so we can work with maximum efficiency.

Your role as a Senior Javascript Developer

We’re looking for individuals who want to solve problems well, at a fast pace, in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment.

We use JavaScript across the entire stack - our front end is built in React and our backend in Node. We store data in MongoDB primarily, and as a small team we are all responsible for the code we push and the way it gets deployed and used. We also use tRPC, React Query, Redis, BullMQ, nx monorepo, S3, DigitalOcean and GitHub Actions, among other technologies.

Your role will include:

• Being hands on and spending most of your time coding - developing and improving our existing product, or building the next major product.
• Using your expertise and best practices to improve the stability, security, performance and usability of the platform.
• Influencing the development and technical direction of the product.

Your background

• Experience working in a high-quality development team in a startup, preferably of a similar size.
• Highly intelligent, inquisitive, and quick to learn - you will need to become (with our help) an expert in venture capital as soon as possible.
• An excellent problem solver with outstanding attention to detail. You shouldn’t let things go unsolved.
• 5+ years experience in Node and React, with great, clean coding skills.
• You should have experience with the latest AI tools that make you more efficient as a software developer. Please mention what you have tried lately in your opening message.

What you can expect from Further

• Very competitive remuneration.
• Fully remote, with 2-3 day off-sites held abroad twice a year (we all just came back from Madrid ️).
• Private healthcare (for UK-based employees).
• Company laptop.

Interview Process

• A call with one of the founders about the role and your experience
• Discussion around the product and industry
• A small technical test, and lastly
• Final stage technical discussion call with the CTO
