Full Stack Engineer

Finimize helps smart, busy people become their own financial advisor – expert-grade investment research delivered in a way that respects their time and doesn't take itself too seriously. Think your sharpest friend explaining markets over a beer: credible, warm, a bit fun, never condescending. Our tagline is Outthink the Market.

You'd be joining a small, fast-moving team and work directly with the CTO and the rest of the team to ship features, improve our workflow and help shape a fast-growing product.

Our product: We’re building the world’s largest finance community, plus a suite of audio and text content, all produced in-house. We aim to solve problems we know our users face when making investments, and offer specific, actionable ideas & research.

Our B2C users primarily know us through our app, website and daily email newsletter, as well as our high profile events such as our Modern Investor Summits. We also have a fast-growing B2B business, enabled through events, partnerships and content licensing via our API and B2B platform.

Our Team: We are an enthusiastic team of entrepreneurs, engineers and creatives. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone in our team is listened to, and empowered to improve our product, processes and culture. We look for self-starters, and candidates who want to grow along with the company. You should be motivated by the idea of making our product work for our users as well as the business. This is all even more important in the age of AI.

From a technical perspective, you should be motivated by learning new things and always striving to improve how you work. We value Engineers who are excited by building world‑class digital experiences used by millions of passionate users. We place significant emphasis on keeping our codebase clean and maintainable, so this should be important to you.

Although our Engineers generally have an area of focus/interest, you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills in other parts of the stack, and we aim to keep the work diverse and exciting.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalised folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
