Role
Who you are
- #Work-with-purpose: You can articulate the value of your own work in larger projects or team-wide objectives. You have the autonomy to own and deliver solutions and are comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving requirements
- #Have-courage: You are comfortable asking for and giving feedback. You help others when needed, and participate in debates, brainstorms, and other team conversations regularly. You build good relationships with your colleagues in Engineering, Product, and the wider company and are able to respectfully challenge each other to understand the problem and come up with the best solutions. As a company, we embrace change and the chance of failure
- #Be-transparent: As a company, we value and aspire for transparency at all levels; you’ll provide work updates to communicate regularly about progress and blockers and reach out for help when needed
- #Raise-the-bar: You seek out opportunities to improve our code, process, and practices; 1% improvements over time improve things for everyone
- #Do-more-with-less: You identify and help implement improvements to processes and standards within the team, seek to optimise our workflow, and share ideas for how to automate manual tasks. As a company we try to minimise meetings (we have meeting-free Wednesdays) and default to asynchronous written communication over long multiple person meetings
- Knowledge: You have generalist knowledge of product development concepts (software design, product requirements, work breakdown) and agile practices (TDD, CI/CD, architecture) and can apply them to solve well-defined problems independently and with your team
What the job involves
- As part of the engineering team, you'll be working on a suite of innovative products that monitor over US$19 trillion in assets under management every single day, used by some of the world's largest Investment Managers
- We are looking for Junior to Mid-Level Back End Engineers who can help drive innovation and deliver great software at pace while also keeping sustainability in mind

Our take
FundApps is a Compliance-as-a-Service company, aiming to provide some of the world’s largest asset managers, hedge funds, and investment banks with automated compliance monitoring services.
It aims to solve the three main problems faced by compliance teams: keeping track of international regulation, interpreting it correctly, and accurately aggregating exposure across portfolios. FundApps combines web-based technology, regulatory expertise, market data and the specialist knowledge of its community in order to help financial institutions comply with international regulations.
FundApps differentiates itself through the proprietary technology it uses to accurately capture the latest changes in regulation. Its service monitors more than $17 trillion in assets under management, or about 15% of all global assets, on behalf of clients from all over the world. It is continuing to expand its partnership network, with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority recently implementing FundApps' compliance suite to monitor its significant sovereign wealth funds.
