We are expanding our technology team and looking for a Senior Javascript Developer with 5+ years experience across Node and React.

About Further

Further’s mission is to deliver market-leading modern fund administration software. Through our products, we work with venture capital and private equity funds operating in some of the most complicated corners of their markets.

Our clients manage billions of pounds of assets, and operational efficiency is critical to their day-to-day work.

Our system is the business-critical operational backbone for our customers, enabling them to automate key fund processes including investor onboarding, fund administration and investor reporting.

Alongside us on our journey are a select group of high quality investors. From them we have raised significant capital to grow our business. Our investors are the same people behind successful businesses including Carta, Canva, Rippling and others.

Our team and its ethos

We believe the best people attract the best people, and teams with the highest talent density win in the long run.

At Further we are a group of likeminded engineers and product experts with passionately open minds and deep individual expertise. In return, each team member gets wide individual latitude to build a superior product.

We hire deliberately, focusing on talent quality, 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!!).

Your role as a Senior Javascript Developer

As an early stage company, we’re looking for individuals who want to solve problems well, at a fast pace, in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment.

We are a team of 7, including 5 other full-time senior JavaScript engineers. Our engineering team is the critical hub of our business, and the company works hard to clear roadblocks for our team, so we can work with maximum efficiency.

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, 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, and 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 to be most effective.
• An excellent problem solver and willing to get involved in issues and maintenance.
• 5+ years experience in Node and React.
• Knowledge of security best practices.

What you can expect from Further

• Very competitive remuneration and equity.
• Fully remote, with meetings in London or abroad a few times a year (we all just came back from Malaga ☀️).
• Private healthcare (for UK-based employees).
• An opportunity to build market-leading software for a multi-billion dollar market.
