Product Engineer
Further
Product
United Kingdom
Further is building the future of fund administration. We’re looking for someone highly intelligent and ambitious who wants to help build the company that defines this category.
About Further
Further builds cutting-edge, AI-enabled software for fund administration.
Our clients workflows are complex, high-stakes and detail-heavy. Most of the market still relies on manual processes, spreadsheets, fragmented tools and human-led solutions that do not scale well.
Further is changing that, with a highly automated, category-defining product that manages the full investment lifecycle under one roof. Our products help venture capital and private equity funds, who manage billions of pounds of assets on our platform, to invest in the pioneering businesses of tomorrow.
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 and we’re a team of quality over quantity. 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.
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 at pace.
Your role as a Product Engineer
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, 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.
- Being a point of contact for data issues, and operational questions from clients and the rest of the team.
What you will bring
- High intelligence, and an inquisitive and quick to learn nature - you will need to become (with our help) an expert in venture capital as soon as possible.
- An excellent problem solving ability, with outstanding attention to detail.
- A relentlessness and ownership mentality. You shouldn’t feel comfortable logging off with something unresolved.
- 2+ years experience in Node, React and Javascript, with great, clean coding skills.
- We welcome any kind of entry into software development. You may have done a coding bootcamp after a previous career, or recently graduated from CompSci. What matters more to us is attitude and potential.
- A firm grasp of AI-enabled coding, an understanding of how to prompt AI and review its output, and the knowledge that you are the ultimate arbitrator - vibe coders need not apply, we want people that can use it efficiently and well.
Company Benefits
- Very competitive remuneration.
- Fully remote, with 3-day off-sites held abroad twice a year (we all just came back from Ibiza ☀️).
- Private healthcare and life insurance (for UK-based employees).
- Company laptop (of course).
