Job Description:
Are you passionate about development?
The Touch team is developing a next generation investment platform. We want to use technology to improve the way consumers access financial advice and manage their investments.
The majority of existing platforms are still reliant on software and processes that aren’t capable of supporting today’s technology, so we started from scratch, developing a modern platform that is as efficient as possible.
We’re building a mobile first investment app that lets advisers manage their clients’ investments entirely through their Smartphone.
We’re seeking passionate engineers to join the team.
If you’re ready to take your career to the next level, apply now!
What you’ll do:
*Design, manage and extend Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
*Monitor environments for performance, errors and security, catching issues before customers even notice. Focus on low levels of toil by improving tooling and processes.
*Infrastructure hardening including resolutions from pen tests, audit and other third-party testing of our estate.
*Make changes to Go, Typescript or Flutter code to support infrastructure changes.
*Work as part of a distributed team made up of self-motivated and collaborative individuals. Much of our communication is remote and async so good communication skills are key.
*Always look for ways we can improve our product, processes and practices. We don’t like friction and waste.
*Automated testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment. We are huge proponents of automation.
*Work outside of your specialism when needed. While all our team members have a specialism, we don’t let that restrain us. Our engineers jump in to help get things done even in technologies out of their core competency.
What you’ll have:
*Excellent programming and problem solving skills
*Understanding of relevant software design patterns and paradigms, such as microservices, containers/orchestration or event-driven architecture
*Experience in creating performant, scalable, secure and well tested infrastructure.
*You take ownership of tasks and problems, clearing roadblocks and pulling in other people to help when needed.
*Experience working with Investment or Pensions platforms would be an advantage
Our tools and technologies:
The below are all things that we are either currently using or have found to be a useful foundation when joining our team. Prior knowledge of them is not essential but would be beneficial to the role:
*CI/CD pipelines (we use GitLab)
*Cloud infrastructure (we use Google Cloud Platform)
*Containers (building, operations, security, and orchestration; we use Kubernetes)
*Go (we can offer training for experienced engineers who haven’t used Go before)
*Experience of penetration testing and audit
*Infrastructure as Code (we use Terraform and Terragrunt)
*Networking (layer 4 and 7 load balancing, DNS, mTLS)
*Observability systems (we’re particularly interested in Prometheus, Grafana and
*OpenTelemetry)
*PKI (particularly Vault)
*Scripting (we predominantly use Bash and Go)
*PostgreSQL
