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 are looking for skilled data engineers to help build FoundryOS. You’ll be a key part of our team, building out new products and features of the data platform, which includes AI and reporting capabilities. 

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

Design and develop our core data platform within the FoundryOS product

Work as part of a team of Data Engineers and Data Scientists collaborating on overall build

Work with senior engineers to size and build out work required to build the data platform

Work closely with Data Science to ensure AI and ML capabilities are built that drive the FoundryOS platform as value to both our customers and our value proposition

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.
