Company mission
To empower people to build their own financial platforms for better efficiency and clarity.
Role
Who you are
- Do you relish in the delight of customers, and in the opportunity to develop an amazing product you'll be proud of, and one they'll be happy to pay for?
- Do you have a keen eye for detail and design, but enjoy trading off perfection in pursuit of progress?
- Do you thrive in an environment of quick and collaborative iteration?
- You're the kind of developer who knows not only what the best practices are, but understands why they are, and so knows when to ignore them
- You're confident in making your case but open to alternative ideas, and willing to disagree and commit either way
What the job involves
- Building a real-time, collaborative financial workspace for teams
- Designing and developing a scalable and maintainable API
- Integrating with lots of different financial data providers
- Crafting beautifully simple abstractions to enable adaptable, frictionless UX
- Handling our own and customers' data securely and compliantly
- On the backend, we've got an Elixir/Phoenix application, deployed on AWS via Terraform. On the frontend, we have a React application using TypeScript and TailwindCSS. We don't expect you to be an expert in every one of those areas
- If you've enjoyed working in any functional language, we think you'll love Elixir (but if you've never even dabbled, we think you'll love it too)
- If you've felt productive working with a framework like Rails or Django, you'll get the hang of Phoenix in no time
- If you've worked with React, but not TypeScript, we can work with that. If you know your JS, but have never written React, that's fine too
- You get the picture – it's not about your familiarity with specific technologies. If you're an expert in one or another domain, but open to learning as you go, we'll start from there
- Over time, we'll expect you to wear many hats. You'll be an architect balancing performance and pragmatism. You'll be a developer considering and implementing different designs. You'll be a product manager cutting and simplifying features. You'll be a leader and a mentor

Our take
Excel represents an essential tool used by finance professionals every day. According to LiveFlow, even though Excel was widely used in finance for the past 30 years, it's a standard tool that did not improve in time, thus it failed to adapt to the increasingly complex needs of finance professionals. The company aims to solve this problem by creating a modern Financial Management tool that aims to serve the needs of modern finance teams.
The founders first came up with the idea for LiveFlow after co-founder, Lasse, went bankrupt running his first business. Aiming to stop any other business having the same fate, LiveFlow was launched to ensure that clients have access to all of their financial information in one place.
The company differentiates itself through its proprietary technology that allows spreadsheets to automatically connect to the real-time data of users from Google Sheets, banks, and accounting platforms. LiveFlow already counts Nova Credit, Unfurl, Gorgias, and Olaf among its clients. Having closed a seed round in 2022, it continues to build a strong customer base.

Company values
- Deliver outstanding customer service - There’s almost only one thing that we are willing to drop everything in our hands for at all times. That’s customers, and providing outstanding customer service. Customer service is and will continue to be, one of our most important areas of the business. If not the most important.
- Take responsibility - Everything is everyone's responsibility. We don't put people in boxes. We don't say "that's not my job to do that". If you see something that needs to be improved, changed, or fixed, you have a duty to address it. It's unacceptable to limit our concerns to the remit of our roles. Just because it’s not your fault doesn’t mean it’s not your responsibility.
- Be humble - We don't expect you to know everything. Ask questions and ask for help. Seek advice from other people.We let go of ego's and we optimize for what's right for the business, not what's right for us individually. We discuss our setbacks openly so we all can learn. Hiding or neglecting setbacks is unacceptable.
- Focus on questions, rather than answers - "What will make people signup for LiveFlow" and "What will make people sign up for LiveFlow right here, right now?" - Two very similar questions that can yield a very different answer. Asking the right question is more important than having the right answer.
- There is less competition in the impossible - It takes 24 hours a day to build a small business, and it takes 24 hours a day to build a big business. We do the latter.
- Hiring & Building Teams - We believe that great people can be found at all seniority levels and from all backgrounds. We build small, efficient, and high-performing teams rather than large and slow teams.
