back end engineer London, England
Job description
Company Overview
At Third Bridge, we're a primary research business providing professional services to Private and Public Equity Investors, Investment Consultants, Investment Managers, and more.
We help those investors understand companies and the issues they face. We build and share intelligence on key industry drivers and the latest sector trends. And we offer the kind of critical knowledge that's regularly overlooked by conventional investment research, and which investors won't find anywhere else on the planet.
Put simply, we're creating the world's largest database of human insights - and we're the architects of an incredible ecosystem that fuels better and faster investment decisions.
Together, we're on a mission designing, building and delivering a different kind of future. It's all about creating a space where people are empowered to make bold moves. To explore new ways of working. To go where no-one has ever gone before.
Team Overview
The Technology & Engineering function is led by our Chief Information Officer (CIO), and our Product function is led by our Chief Product Officer (CPO) and founder. We are investing heavily in product, data and technology capabilities, enabling us to deliver our clients innovative products and solutions and deep insight market intelligence.
The Product, Engineering & Technology team is a talented team of product managers, designers, engineers, technologists, business analysts, and change specialists with entrepreneurial and innovative mindsets.
We hire curious, creative and diverse people from different industries to challenge our thinking, with many joining outside the financial sector.
T&P is a growing team of people who are on a mission to provide industry-leading products and services to our clients in a highly competitive and hyper-growth market and to give the entire business the right solutions for the business to operate smoothly and from anywhere.
If you want to be at the forefront of delivering the best products and technology services in the investor research market, working in a fast-paced environment, with freedom and empowerment to learn and grow, with great perks and flexible working, then Third Bridge could be a fulfilling career for you!
What will you do?
This is a great opportunity to be part of a team that is dedicated to getting it done! You will help minimise bureaucracy, with the pace of a startup within a scaling international business. As a senior back-end software engineer at Third Bridge, you will lead by example, supporting a wide range of projects and people. Applying a mentoring and facilitation mindset with the team, you follow best practices, and model best in class standards.
With a ‘bigger picture’ view, you will help to shape the design and build of solutions, in line with architectural strategy. You’ll work in an Agile environment with colleagues from different disciplines across our Tech and Product department. You’ll encourage networking across the whole of Third Bridge and the wider technical community, including external third parties.
Your ‘customer first’ ethos ensures the solutions you create make our business better at meeting the needs of our clients, specialists and internal users. With a devops approach you create solutions that are coded, tested and have the microservices elements to contribute to multiple products, leading from within with all back-end coding.
This is your chance to put your own stamp on how things are done, aiming for simplicity in solution design, and helping the upskilling and transformation of the engineers around you. Third Bridge is in an exciting period of change and growth: we’re creating a brand new set of applications, so there’s always something new for you to learn and do, and have a real impact on our business.
What will you bring?
With your experience as a back-end engineer, you’re ready to be a role model to others, leading by example and helping shape our practices. Your balance of technical knowledge and human interaction is vital in a team like ours.
You’re naturally curious, exploring all the options, and listening to others’ ideas and views. You really understand the power of testing and create your own unit tests to evaluate the solutions you code.
Your technical background as a senior engineer should include:
- Typescript
- REACT
- Node.js
- Cloud deployment
- QA - writing unit tests and test automation
- Any previous work with Terraform, WS, and exposure to other technologies with a ‘tech agnostic’ approach is an advantage to your application.
If you’re looking for a senior role where you actually see your impact, work with a dynamic team, and create innovative solutions, then we want to hear from you!
