About the Company

The Engineering team at FundApps is a team of ca. 50 smart, friendly people who collaborate closely and take pride in delivering best-in-class software and providing an extraordinary experience to our clients.
We’re solving some of the most challenging problems in financial services - we operate in petabytes and milliseconds, not optimising the upload of cat photos.
Our clients use our service for multiple hours a day - what we do as engineers has a real life impact on thousands of people across the globe!
Our team values are professionalism, sustainability, and psychological safety; we hold each other to high standards, give each other considered and constructive feedback, work smart, and look out for each other.
FundApps is a fast-growing, bootstrapped scaleup.
We like keeping our tech stack modern and are not afraid to invest to keep it cutting edge!
We work agile, but do not follow any approach blindly - we seek 1% improvements in everything we do, try new things but don't hold to anything too tightly.
Fundamentally, we follow a Kanban-inspired approach, but we also take inspiration from Team Topologies, 12-factor, DevOps culture - and all the good agile practices that you have read about.
At FundApps we put these practices to work, reflect, and iterate to make sure our practices continue to serve us well.
Our Engineers look after a wide set of products and technical services; we don't strictly follow a micro-services approach, however we are working over time to evolve our codebase and our core technology to be distributed, cloud-native and resource- and cost-effective to power our growth while doing our bit to help FundApps be carbon neutral.
We embrace change and the chance of failure.
As a company, we value and aspire for transparency at all levels.
As a company we try to minimise meetings (we have meeting-free Wednesdays) and default to asynchronous written communication over long multiple person meetings.

Equal Opportunity

We are proud of the diversity of all FundAppers - it makes us strong.
We provide flexibility around religious observances and embrace a variety of cultural celebrations!
If you’re looking for a workplace where you can just be yourself, you’re in the right place.
