A little bit about Flanks

Flanks is a Barcelona-based fintech company focused on wealth management services. Its main product is a SaaS solution that helps financial advisors, family offices and other institutions to have a holistic view of their clients’ financial assets while using the latest scraping technology. We’re currently building the benchmark in the OpenWealth industry, and so far we managed to have compatibility with over 250 national and international entities.

Thanks to our clients, we continue to grow at a fast pace. We have already more than 300,000 aggregated portfolios spread across nearly 250 entities and have positioned our business at break-even in less than a year. In August 2021, Flanks raised €2.3 million in an investment round led by JME Ventures and SeedRocket 4Founders Capital. And a significant €7.5 million in August 2023, demonstrating confidence in our vision and capabilities.

We are pioneers in our market in Spain, which will certainly grow a lot in the next few months and years. However, we are going to take a league leap in terms of the volumetry of the system, as our key focus now is to accelerate our market expansion in Europe and LatAm. And we would like to count on you to also grow (personally and professionally) with us.

Flanks’s values are:

• People first: To us, the most important thing is for “Flankers” to feel at ease, for them to get involved in a project and be feel part of the team.
• Keep growing: Our team believes that people growing in lockstep with the company is essential, both personally and professionally.
• Think twice, act once: We like to think about all the possible consequences before taking any decision that could affect the team or our clients.

If you’re looking to grow professionally in a very fast-growing company with an exciting start-up culture, this is your opportunity!

About the role

This is a general role (80% frontend- 20% backend). This does not mean we expect you to know absolutely everything. You will have your areas of expertise and things you’ll like more than others. However, you will be exposed (and sometimes deeply working) on all layers of the stack: from the front-end to our APIs and databases

As a senior, you will help and support other members of the team. You are expected to take a leading role in new initiatives and to need a minimal amount of supervision and support. You will still be an individual contributor, but you’ll also need planning and communication skills way beyond just “doing your work”: You will have agency and accountability.

Not only that, but you will have a voice in the way we shape the future of technology at Flanks.

Our current tech stack

Since this team is building things from scratch, we will debate and decide the best technology in each case.

Our current stack in other teams is:

• Node.js on our back-end, mostly Fastify.
• Vue 3 in our front-end.
• Running on GKE
• SQL Databases
• Also minion.js, Auth0, Redis and more
• Python is a plus

Things we'd love to see on you

• 3 - 5 years of programming experience, preferably in JavaScript - Vue.
• Experience with Back-end, we are open to different languages.
• You have growth into different roles and scenarios.
• You have good design taste and/or UI/UX knowledge
• You have worked on projects with other people and have experience with Git.
• Likewise, you are a team player and a good communicator. You focus on communication over resolution.
• Experience working with databases, both SQL and NoSQL.
• Working English proficiency and you, at least, understand Spanish.

What can we offer

We offer what we think is fair compensation (from 40K to 45K€ per year for this role). We're on top of the market, but our intention is to increase compensation as the company grows. You will not be left behind. We believe this is a really nice time to join the project. This is a full-time, permanent contract.
