- Open source or active participation in developer communities is a plus
What the job involves
- We are looking for Senior Software Engineers to join our growing team to execute on our ambitious mission and support our growing client base
- In this role, you will be building new features and supporting existing ones, and solving complex problems related to building a configurable enterprise product for wealth management
- You will work with cutting-edge technologies, including cloud platforms, microservices, containerization, and automation tools, to build products that meet the evolving needs of our users and business
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to break down work, serve as a technical subject matter expert, and deliver against the product and client roadmap
- Work closely with product and engineering teams to define system architecture, technical roadmaps, and design principles, ensuring that solutions are scalable, reusable, and maintainable
- Write clean, readable, and scalable code that follows coding standards and guidelines, and be an advocate for modern software development technologies
- Identify and proactively address areas of improvement throughout our technical stack, maintaining the long-term health and performance of our system
- Uplevel the team and individual engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and technical excellence
- Take ownership of features, systems, or services and drive them from concept to production
- We use TypeScript across our platform, with React (web) and React Native (mobile) on the front end, and Node.js and MongoDB on the back end. Our platform follows a microservices architecture, hosted on AWS
Our take
Wealth management has historically been the preserve of, well, the wealthy. Now, however, fintech developments have seen a flurry of startups bringing these services to the everyday consumer. The only problem is that assembling the right team, building a good product, and jumping through the regulatory licensing hoops can really hobble the rate of progress. OneVest has developed a suite of turnkey digital investment solutions to help these startups pick up the pace.
OneVest’s APIs allow tech companies and financial institutions to embed digital wealth management services in their client-facing products. Recent years have seen a rise in demand for digital wealth management and investment services, so the relatively young OneVest was savvy in identifying and closing in on this market opportunity.
OneVest has in fact moved impressively fast to build out its tech stack and secure various kinds of regulatory licensing since its launch. This demonstrates a real appetite and capacity for disruption. It will likely prove critical in securing a leading position in Canada’s as-of-yet relatively rigid wealth management sector.
