About the host company
We want to change how the industry works. Credit cards and part-payments have become a common payment method in Sweden. We are exposed to credit card offers on a daily basis and choosing to use part-payment has become the rule rather than the exception. For many people, this is a way to manage their private economy; by spreading out the highs and lows. For others, it's a way to cope with unforeseen expenses, like when the refrigerator suddenly breaks. Having said that, it has been a long time since someone actually cared about you, the customer, least of all the creditors. You only have to look at the high-interest rates on our part-payment and credit card invoices. Our goal is simple, we don’t want to add to the burden of debt. Rather, make sure no one pays more than they should. Therefore, we never originate new loans, we just lower the rate on the ones you already have.
Anyfin was founded in 2017. We have more than 20 years of experience from risk assessment, credit and technological development from some of Sweden’s leading technology companies, iZettle, Klarna and Spotify. Together with people specializing in design and programming, artificial intelligence and credit underwriting, we are driven by wanting to change, challenge and create a fairer financial industry.
We're the rebels of the financial industry putting an end to overpriced financial products. If you're a talented developer, join us and help push the envelop of Fintech in both tech and social impact.
Job Description
You’re a passionate full stack developer looking to take up the challenge to change the financial industry for the better. You know the importance of good software architecture and quality code and are looking to help build something really big from the ground up.
You'll be working on a variety of components, from processing systems and communication gateways to our customer facing web and native apps. That means not only hands on coding, but also actively contributing to the system and product design - an open and curious mind is key.
We’re building the foundations of something truly big, so it’s extra important that you write clean and readable code. Given that we’re heavily leaning on Node.js and React it’s crucial to have solid knowledge of Javascript. Other relevant technologies include Python, Go, SQL and GraphQL. You’re expected to touch a number of services, so the more ground that is covered the better, but specialization over time is definitely possible.
Required Skills
We’re primarily looking for mid-range to senior candidates from diverse backgrounds. Web development is evolving rapidly and it can be tough to navigate through the ecosystem, so relevant work experience is highly valued, but character and startup culture fit trumps knowledge.
To wrap things up just a couple more keywords in no particular order that are no requirements, but might peak your interest (they’re certainly on our mind):
- GraphQL
- Databases
- React-Native
- TypeScript
- Conversational AI
- Data Visualization & D3.js
- System security and authentication
- Docker & Kubernetes
- Elastic deployment
