Senior Full-stack Engineer

The Role

As a member of the Farther Investment Technology team you’ll have full-stack ownership of multiple domains; spanning from the user interface to the data layer. The team’s responsibility includes portfolio management, portfolio storage, trade generation, account re-balancing, and operational interfaces to all these domains. This includes responsibility for all levels of a product, such as CRUD APIs, asynchronous RPC handlers, and AWS infrastructure. You will contribute to the development of new features and product improvements for our applications, which are built using React, TypeScript, Bun, and CockroachDB. You will also play a pivotal role in shaping and influencing new features at all stages, working closely with product, design, and other engineering teams.

Your Impact 

• Be a product-focused software engineer, prioritizing the quick delivery of exceptional user experiences. Develop features that are well-balanced, avoiding both over- and under-engineering, with an emphasis on frequent and tidy releases.
• Leverage Typescript to create high-quality, strictly-typed code, that allows fearless refactoring. We are a strong proponent of functional programming and employ domain-driven design principles to develop modular code that is enjoyable to work with and easy to expand upon.
• Draft and review specification documents for new features. As a fully remote company, we take pride in producing detailed product requirement documents and functional specifications, enabling engineers to work quickly and autonomously once coding begins.
• Translate designs and wireframes into screens and components, collaborating closely with design and product teams to optimize for ease of development and rapid delivery.
• Develop backends for features, including domain modeling, data layer design, HTTP endpoint implementation, and handling asynchronous messaging.
• Build and maintain abstractions, patterns, and internal libraries, staying updated with changes and improvements in TypeScript, JavaScript, and our major libraries.

The Ideal Match 

• 7+ years of experience. You have experience building services/apps in production as a full-stack developer. Experience shipping a product from design files to users’ browsers.
• Investment or investment adjacent experience. Previous production experience can include being part of a trading team, working at a fintech, or being part of a investment advisory firm.
• Grit. You love shipping features and seeing the delight of users getting something new and have no problem staying late to ship a feature and get it into users’ hands.
• Bias for action. Enjoying a fast paced environment where you ship multiple times a day and focus on what’s best for the user. You have no problems pro-actively jumping into a Slack thread and helping the team debug an issue.
• Embrace of change. As a startup we often make calculated changes from dev ops changes to framework changes to language changes. While we put deep thought into changes, once accepted we move decisively and immediately. You embrace the startup chaos.
• Active communication. From a bias towards writing to keeping on top of Slack we expect active and pro-active communication throughout the day. As a remote team we have a strong writing/documentation culture as we communicate asynchronously by default; we think by writing.
• Ability to think in a functional way. A love for strict types because you love making invalid states impossible states. Love of static analysis; we use tools to help us work more efficiently like ESLint and Prettier. We don’t take DRY too seriously, love generics, yet don’t build ivory towers of abstractions.
