ABOUT US:

Kurtosys provides a state-of-the-art platform for asset and wealth managers to generate and distribute sophisticated sales, marketing, and client reporting materials. Founded in 2002, Kurtosys operates from four global offices and holds ISO-27001 certification for top-tier information security management. Our team leverages advanced data processing, cutting-edge information design, and robust compliance frameworks at scale, creating exciting opportunities for engineers to work with the latest technologies and solve complex challenges.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Join our Software Engineering team within the Technology Department at Kurtosys. As a member of this team, you will play a role in designing, developing, and delivering solutions that power our modern SaaS platform fully hosted on the AWS cloud. This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact projects, contribute to our strategic roadmap, and shape the future of our product. You’ll collaborate with talented engineers, product managers, and designers in an agile environment that values technical excellence, continuous learning, and creativity. If you’re passionate about solving complex problems and building scalable, high-quality software, we invite you to be part of our journey.

We are looking for skilled full-stack engineers who are comfortable working on solutions end-to-end. This includes everything from designing and implementing robust back-end services to creating intuitive and polished front-end user interfaces. Candidates should be adept at navigating the entire development lifecycle, taking ownership of features from concept to deployment, and ensuring they are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with our high-quality standards.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Your role will involve identifying and implementing product enhancements, optimising existing features, and addressing technical challenges to ensure our platform remains robust, scalable, and user centric.
You’ll work closely within a cross-functional team to deliver quality-driven outcomes, balancing technical innovation with practical solutions that meet business needs.
You’ll focus on developing and improving critical product functionalities, addressing high-priority issues to maintain platform stability, and contributing to the continuous improvement of our development processes.
Your work will have a direct impact on the satisfaction of our global client base, as well as on the evolution of our platform. Operating in an agile environment, you will bring a proactive approach to problem-solving, a commitment to engineering excellence, and a collaborative spirit to deliver results.
This is your opportunity to work on cutting-edge cloud-native technologies, take ownership of meaningful projects, and grow your expertise in a supportive and forward-thinking team.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Full-Stack Expertise: You must be comfortable working across the stack, tackling everything from front-end user interfaces to back-end services and data layers.
End-to-End Ownership: A strong sense of ownership and accountability is essential. You take pride in seeing features through from concept to deployment and beyond, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality and usability.
Adaptability: A willingness to learn and work with a variety of technologies and frameworks as the problem space requires, without being siloed to specific tech stacks.
Independence and Proactivity: You should be capable of working independently, identifying solutions to challenges, and proactively driving tasks forward without the need for micromanagement.
Collaboration: Strong collaboration and communication skills are essential. You thrive in a cross-functional, agile environment, working closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to deliver impactful results.
Commitment to Excellence: A passion for delivering high-quality, scalable, and maintainable software, with a focus on continuous improvement and engineering best practices.
Creativity: You approach challenges with curiosity and creativity, bringing practical solutions that balance technical innovation and business needs.
Client-Centric Perspective: A keen understanding of how your work impacts end-users and a commitment to delivering value that enhances their experience.
AI-Driven Development: A willingness to embrace and integrate AI tools and practices into the software development lifecycle. You should be open to leveraging AI for tasks such as code generation, optimisation, testing, and problem-solving to enhance productivity and innovation.

This role is for engineers who thrive in dynamic environments, relish solving complex challenges, and embrace the opportunity to grow while delivering impactful solutions.

TECH STACK:

The following comprises our tech stack but should not be considered a complete list. Depending on the tasks you could have exposure to some or all of these technologies. Experience with each of these is not a must have, but being a fast learner, and a willingness to adopt and adapt to new technologies and techniques are.
