You will be helping build FT Base, our firm's digital backbone which manages our data ecosystem, project lifecycles, AI Agents, and proprietary CRM. It's built in Python, Django (DRF), Typescript, React, PostgreSQL. It's a mission critical application with heavy usage on a constant basis. It also powers an MCP server to provide data and interactivity to employees through enterprise AI tooling.

We are looking for people who can produce stable features without racking up technical debts, and can help organize, consolidate, and strengthen our suite of software for sustained impact.

Qualifications

Experience requirements, either:

• 2 years as a Software Engineer in a web application environment OR
• 2 years as a Software Engineer and reputable boot camp certification OR
• Computer Science degree (4 year) and some projects or work experience to show

Python, Typescript, APIs, Git and web application system design concepts

Key Responsibilities

• Immerse yourself in the context and business requirements of each of our system's many functional areas
• Execute on instructions to build new things, or improve, refactor, clean up or delete features
• Make recommendations on progressing projects you are close to, sometimes in growth, sometimes in simplification, sometimes in aligning with other areas of the system
• Help review applications prototyped outside of the engineering department, and help steer, rebuild, or secure these

AI Qualifications

• Strong A.I. prompt-driven development abilities, backed by technical understanding
• You will need to be able to explain and verify any ai-produced code you submit, on a line by line basis.
• Experience overcoming the obstacles that lie beyond the prototype, and instinct toward cohesive organized systems that scale

Ideal Mindset

• Responsible and organized. We are not looking for someone to break ground and hand off their problems, we are looking for someone to help funnel ideas into sustainable compatible features
• Attentive to detail
• Systems minded
• Flexible to business pressures and constraints.
• Collaborative and team-oriented, understanding the importance of shared success and learning
• Open to asking questions, sharing ideas, helping teammates
