Job description

US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents only.

Full Stack Engineer (5+ yrs of experience)

At CAPX, we are disrupting $5 trillion+ corporate financing markets. We enable private equity firms and CFOs to quickly identify and access relevant capital structures and lenders, accelerate transaction execution, and cost-effectively obtain capital greater than $5 million. We have successfully launched over $1.5 billion in transactions to date.

As we firmly believe that individuals do not really work “for” us, rather work “with” us, you will be an equal member and contributor to the team and to the mission. This individual will have the opportunity to be one of the core members of a seriously disruptive financial services platform and establish their own career path. We promise intellectually charged, open, bureaucracy free and purpose driven environment for those looking to take initiative and make a difference in the real world.

We are a fully remote organization and we have a fully flexible work culture - we believe we work with self-motivated adults who can decide when and how to work to achieve goals for the team.

We are looking for a software engineer with a proven track record of having worked within a dynamic environment where change is the only constant. The ideal candidate will not only have required technical background, but also a keen interest in innovation, risk taking, strong written and verbal communication skills, analytical mindset and drive to take on challenges to achieve all things difficult.

Responsibilities

  • Rapidly learn the existing logic and structure of the system so that you can contribute to any component of the system that needs growth or change.
  • Participate in continuous improvement of the current product, which is developed in Node / React / Meteor.js / Mongo. Assess and take leadership of our transition from Meteor.js to an open stack, such as Node.js/ Express/ Passport / Mongoose / tRPC / Vite.
  • Monitor and improve integration with third party apps as we scale our user base and transaction flow. Identify and implement additional third party integrations as needed to improve user experience and system performance.
  • Collaboration and communication are crucial to our success - regularly communicate with colleagues through voice calls, video conferences and instant messages.
  • You are your own supervisor, use your judgement and control your own efforts. Ask for help, leverage the knowledge of your colleagues and be a resource for others in return.
  • Deliver on agreed upon timelines, continually learn from missed deliveries and share what you have learned to make us all better.
  • Own the development – from architecture to FE. Develop reliable code written with appropriate test structures while maintaining security and user experience as priorities.
  • Test your work thoroughly from a user’s point of view – you are the architect, developer and QC.
  • Document your work, share with other developers on the team and continually learn the work done by others to maintain team agility.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies, industry and web security best practices and performance optimization techniques.

Qualifications

  • Undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, engineering or other technical disciplines.
  • 5+ years of experience of developing web applications with demonstrable and detailed full stack experience in a TDD environment.
  • Demonstrable expertise in JavaScript in general and in Node.js, React and Mongo DB in specific – this is our primary requirement for qualifying a candidate.
  • Experience and curiosity around all parts of the tech stack (especially back end, build tools, and cloud infrastructure) is a huge plus.
  • Working knowledge or experience with Meteor.JS would be a plus.
  • Experience with Nest.js would be a plus, but not required.
  • Well-versed in Typescript / ES6, HTML5 and CSS3 / SCSS.
  • Experience with building responsive components and cross-browser compatibility.
  • Familiarity with build tools, package managers, and version control systems (e.g., Vite, npm, Git).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices to manage cloud resources and automate deployment processes using tools like Pulumi or AWS CloudFormation.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, integration, and deployment of applications on AWS.
  • Experience in financial services or banking and corporate finance in specific, is not mandatory, but would be a huge plus.
  • Interest and demonstrable experience in NLP and conversational AI systems would be a plus, but not mandatory.
  • Experience with Python and / or Go would be a huge plus, but is not mandatory.
  • Self-starter, self-motivated, independent, curious, creative, reliable and willing to fail after trying really hard.
