Senior Software Engineer

Full-time | Engineering | Remote

Job Description

We’re on a mission to protect society from fraud and money laundering. We’ve already protected over 2 million people through life’s big transactions.

Fraud and regulation are rising, costing the UK economy over £100bn every year; this makes it more difficult for businesses to protect themselves and their clients - individuals like you and me - from fraud and money laundering.

Our co-founders Olly and Jack were led to this area when a friend was defrauded of £25K when buying their first property. At the time, anti-fraud technology didn’t exist, which meant that completing the anti-fraud checks required in these processes was largely manual. These big life moments should be exciting, but instead are often confusing and scary due to the painful process of completing these paper-based checks and the risk of fraud.

Thirdfort helps businesses to facilitate these anti fraud checks so that individuals know they can transact safely and seamlessly with professionals during these big transactions. Our anti-fraud platform provides a secure way for professionals in regulated sectors like Lawyers, Estate Agents and Accountants to transfer funds and verify sensitive information through app based document checks, facial recognition and open banking.

Over 1,500 businesses now trust Thirdfort to verify their clients. We are FCA regulated and have raised over $33m in capital from leading Fintech investors Breega and Element Ventures, as well as the founders of Zoopla, Funding Circle, Comply Advantage, Tessian, Fenergo and Fidel.

Engineering at Thirdfort

At Thirdfort, we’re working to build an outstanding engineering culture that empowers our team to do their best work. We have a culture which cultivates an honest and open environment, where everyone’s opinions are heard and valued.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Grow team within the Engineering function and drive our efforts to build the client-facing features across KYB, KYC, AML and SoF for users of our Portal and/or integrators. The hire will be an effective contributor to technical projects, implementing solutions to immediate problems while collaborating with other engineers, helping mentor more junior colleagues and leading by example by sticking to the highest standards.

Our Product and Tech teams are remote first and so this individual can be based anywhere in the UK. This does not mean though that our remote first team aren’t welcome in our offices as we value the times when we can come together in person. Ultimately we trust our team to work in the way that suits them best.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

  • Contribute to our revenue-generating features built in the existing Thirdfort system across KYB, KYC, AML and SoF.
  • Collaborate with the rest of the team when planning and executing projects, ensuring we are able to maintain a timely and predictable delivery of successful product features.
  • Lead and inspire other engineers by example by writing code to high quality standards and keeping yourself and colleagues accountable to it through effective code reviews.
  • Ensure our products are maintaining high levels of security or privacy by being aware of those aspects in your own code, but also flagging potential issues seen elsewhere.
  • Contribute to discussions around suggestions about how to solve immediate problems while also considering the long-term implications of implementation decisions.
  • Embody quality and encourage the rest of the department to embody this.

    • We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has experience building responsive, performant APIs while collaborating closely with engineers across the stack (backend through frontend).
  • Has experience with / understands the core concepts of:
  • Cloud-based applications
  • Modern Backend Languages (experience with Go or strong desire to learn are very desirable; some knowledge or a desire to learn JavaScript and React are nice to haves)
  • Modern CI/CD pipelines
  • Relational and non-relational databases
  • Can independently & collaboratively craft testable solutions for backend features
  • Has worked effectively in a team with product owners, designers and other stakeholders
  • Cares deeply about the code quality of backend platforms and knows how to feedback to design with these in mind
  • Can communicate effectively with stakeholders of varying technical ability
  • Has built and maintained tests suites for unit and integration tests

    • Studies show that women and other less represented groups are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every requirement. We believe in building a diverse team, valuing different skills and experiences and so if you don’t think you have all the requirements listed here but feel this could be a role and environment you’d thrive in, we would still love for you to apply.

    Life at Thirdfort:

  • Driven by our values, our culture promotes a collaborative and open environment where Thirdforters can take ownership, have impact, and feel empowered when it comes to their growth and development. We understand the importance of our teams wellbeing and recognise a one-size fits all approach rarely works, that’s why we aim to provide the flexibility individuals need to work in the way that suits them, and their families, best.
