Role
Who you are
- We’d be interested in candidates from any background as long as you have a keen understanding of Object-Oriented programming languages, Design patterns, Testing/TDD, and Refactoring
- You care about software, and you have a passion for what you do, and you want to deliver software that works well and provides value to users and the business. You can clearly show this by your actions and behaviors
- You prefer simple solutions, have an eye for software design, and incrementally improve existing solutions and evolve design over time rather than do a “big rewrite.”
- You are a solid full-stack web developer. That means that you can build applications from start to end, from front-end, through API and business logic, and down to the database schema and 3rd-party service integrations
- You are a strong team player. You have the ability, experience, and genuine interest in working closely with Product and Design counterparts, as well as other engineers, as we build everything together as a team
- For you, software engineering is more than just a job. You read, experiment, practice, and continuously improve yourself, your skills, and keep them sharp, and share knowledge with your peers
- You have 8+ years of experience in full-stack development, including working on complex projects and experience with responsive and accessible design principles
- You will get extra points from us if you have experience in trading and/or accounting
What the job involves
- As a full-stack software developer on a cross-functional and self-organizing team, you will be at the forefront of building and enhancing customer-facing product functionalities that deliver seamless and impactful user experiences
- Your work will enable our products to create value for all stakeholders by addressing their unique needs, whether end-users or partners
- You'll be instrumental in translating user requirements into robust, scalable solutions, ensuring the product is intuitive and efficient by working collaboratively with our product manager, designer, and stakeholders
- Among other things, we practice Pair-Programming, TDD/BDD, Continuous Refactoring, Continuous Integration & Delivery, and we’re relentlessly improving the way we work (e.g. , our development and product processes)
- Most of our tech stack is in Typescript/Javascript on the web front-end and back-end side of things
- Technologies we’re currently using: TDD, XP, Pair-Programming, Continuous Refactoring, Continuous Integration, Typescript, Javascript, MySQL, TypeORM, Nexus, ExpressJS, GraphQL, OAuth, React, ApolloClient, Bootstrap, Sass, Jest, Mocha, Sinon, Chai, AWS, Terraform, Terragrunt, Kubernetes, Docker, Aurora, CircleCI
Our take
Money has poured into fintech as startups reimagine all corners of the financial services industry with technology. One such service is wealth management where startups like Ride Capital are democratizing access through digital wealth management.
RIDE is somewhat different from other attempts. While similarly offering a diverse range of products for what it calls ‘the next 9%’ (the minimum buy-in starts at €80,000), RIDE is prioritising tax-efficiency for its largely German customer base.
The startup is now focused on facilitating all kinds of services, including investments for its clients, just like a traditional private bank. That way, RIDE will truly bridge the gap for those wealthy enough to desire those services, but not wealthy enough to have access to them.
The challenge for the fintech is that unlike neobanks, the number of potential users for wealth management is in the thousands, not millions. However, according to Capgemini’s research current customers criticize the lack of digital maturity of the offers and craving advice for niche products such as cryptocurrencies. Those are great tailwinds for the disruptive platform.
