Role
Who you are
- Strong technical talent - you have deep experience building, deploying, monitoring and scaling modern serverless or container-based systems
- A bias for action - you can move quickly and prefer to launch and gather early data over absolute perfection. You know when to hack a solution vs. build robust systems for the long term
- Good product sense - you can weigh tradeoffs and suggest creative solutions to delivering the best overall product to our customers, even with resource and time constraints
- Autonomous - You enjoy choosing what you work on and are responsible for maximizing your own impact
What the job involves
- We are looking for Senior Backend Software Engineers to help build out the product set of Addition Wealth
- Our technical stack is built primarily in Typescript and hosted on AWS. Major frameworks we use include both Nestjs and Nextjs and our primary data stores are in Postgres
- You do not need to know all of these technologies, but capability in similar stacks is nice to have
- You will be expected to have strong technical, problem solving and organizational skills
- Senior candidates will be expected to demonstrate systems design, project management, and mentorship skills as well
- Architect and build systems from scratch, making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability
- Lead, build, test, and release products with stringent correctness and scalability requirements. These products include personal finance scenario builders, tax calculators, and more
- Tackle complex integrations within the personal finance space to enable smooth customer experiences and accurate financial reporting
- You’ll shape the product strategy and tech organization: you’ll have significant input into our product development process - this includes helping to scope what we are building and how we are building it to optimize for both speed and elegant user experience
Our take
Investing is an excellent way to harvest financial wellness, from simple budgeting and debt management to preparing for retirement or to purchase a home. However, investment is difficult to navigate without expensive financial advice, and whilst many employers provide their employees with investment opportunities, this is useless without understanding how to do it effectively.
Addition Wealth provides a holistic financial wellness platform for employees, helping businesses to support their staff with successful investing, tax optimization, home purchasing, savings, and other financial wellness opportunities. In addition to providing financial advice for free, the software also includes financial health visualization dashboards, allowing employees to gain a holistic understanding of how to better their financial future.
High-quality financial advice is expensive and inaccessible to most employees, and Addition Wealth has been smart to recognize this and provide a solution, especially with companies battling a worldwide "Great Resignation". By partnering with financial advisors and financial benefit providers, the company drives its clients' revenue by promising to boost the financial wellness of its employees and thus boost productivity through increased career satisfaction.
