Job Specifications
At FoundryOS, we're big believers in autonomous teams and iterative development. We're crazy about continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, and we want people who share our enthusiasm.
We strive to always build the right thing and build the thing right, so we place great emphasis on understanding exactly what our clients need and delivering quality products that exceed their expectations.
We think that high performing teams operate best through a model of build-it and run-it that comes from a deep curiosity about how our products work and how our clients use them. We use this foundation to build comprehensive product knowledge and industry expertise, but we're not dogmatic about it.
We operate in multiple build squads that operate independently but align to the same goals and ways of working. We recognise that different drives guide our roadmaps from client needs to commercial strategy to regulatory change and managing those dependencies are made through aligned team decisions.
We make client success everyone's business — what we are going to do and how we do it are team decisions.
We strongly believe that you grow expertise through hands-on experience, rather than just theoretical knowledge, so our approach to product leadership is designed to give you deep exposure to our products, our clients, and the fintech industry really fast. And really often.
We build our product and tech function with focus on:
Understanding FoundryOS capabilities, industry needs and client use cases
Quality is at the heart of everything we do and not just a gate in a process
Leading product roadmaps, planning and establishing best practices
Developing expertise in the financial services industry and regulatory environments
Building and maintaining exceptional client relationships through team excellence
Zero-to-one function building — creating product delivery frameworks, engineering performance systems, and product delivery processes from the ground up
We Build Our Platform With Technology Like
Kotlin & ecosystem — Coroutines, Arrow, Ktor, Kotlinx.Serialization, Exposed
Event-sourced microservices
Cloud deployments — GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Concourse
High-performance data & messaging — Postgres & Kafka
Observability — Grafana, Jaeger & Prometheus
We are looking for skilled Kotlin engineers to help build FoundryOS. You'll be a key player in our team, building out new products and features of the platform.
Building high-performance, scalable, available, fault-tolerant systems is a team game, and so we want to know that you play well with others. Lone geniuses are brilliant — just not for us.
What you’ll be doing
Developing high quality, tested services
Collaborating in the design of new features
Being part of the discussion on strategic architectural improvements to the Platform
Cross-functional working with platform and front-end engineers
Proactively monitoring and support production deployments
Location
We describe ourselves as “remote but not remote only”.
We believe work can be done anywhere but relationships and trust are built best face-to-face. And that the best teams take ownership for themselves.
We strongly believe our people should decide where they will do the best work for the company. We don’t support presenteeism, nor do we support missing important face-to-face meetings to receive an Amazon delivery at home. But if you take ownership of yours and your teams’ deliveries, and will work where you need to be to get the best outcome for the company, whether that be at home, in the office in London, or meeting strategic partners, then you’re for us.
