About Flanks

Flanks is a wealth management solution provider, making holistic wealth management easy and seamless. The company works with major banks and family offices around the world to ensure wealth managers have accurate and high quality data to work with. This way, they free up time to focus on their core business instead of repetitive, manual tasks.

Headquartered in Spain, Flanks was founded in 2019 by Joaquim de la Cruz, Sergi Lao, and Álvaro Morales. We're transforming the wealth management industry with pioneering technology, deep financial expertise, and has raised a total of 9.8 million euros from investors to date.

Join us in shaping the future of wealth management.

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 fullstack role (50% frontend - 50% backend). We don't expect you to know absolutely everything, but you will have your areas of expertise and preferences. You will be deeply involved in all layers of the stack: from building dynamic and responsive user interfaces to designing robust APIs and databases. You'll work across both the frontend and backend in equal measure, ensuring that everything from the user experience to the data handling works seamlessly together.

As a senior fullstack developer, you'll support and guide other team members. You'll lead new initiatives with minimal supervision, bringing strong planning and communication skills to the table. While you'll continue as an individual contributor, you'll also take a proactive role in the broader strategy of our technology stack.

You'll have a significant voice in shaping the future of technology at Flanks, as we grow and evolve.


Our current tech stack

This team is building new projects from scratch, which gives us the opportunity to debate and decide on the best technology stack for each case.

Our current stack in other teams is:

  • Node.js for our backend, mostly using Fastify.
  • Vue 3 for our frontend.
  • Running on GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine)
  • SQL Databases
  • Also using minion.js, Auth0, Redis, and more.
  • Python is a plus.

Things we'd love to see on you

    • 3 - 5 years of fullstack development experience, with strong proficiency in Javascript - Node for backend and Vue or similar frameworks (e.g. React, Angular) for frontend.
    • Experience designing and implementing responsive, dynamic UIs, as well as building and optimizing RESTful APIs.
    • Familiarity with state management in frontend frameworks, such as Vuex, Pinia, or similar.
    • You have experience working in different roles and contexts within a development team.
    • Proficient in Git and comfortable with collaborative workflows.
    • You have integrated third-party APIs and handled both frontend and backend requirements.
    • Strong experience working with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL).
    • Experience with cloud services (GCP, AWS, etc.) and Kubernetes will be highly valued.
    • Experience in data analysis, warehousing, and security is a plus.
    • You communicate effectively and prioritize teamwork and clear communication over just resolution.
    • Working proficiency in English and in Spanish.
    • In general, the more experience you have with our stack, the better. However, we value solid fundamentals and a strong ability to learn, so don’t worry if you don’t tick every box.

What can we offer

We offer what we think is fair compensation (from 43K to 47K€ 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.

The hiring process

This is how the usual hiring process looks like:

  3. We will send you a short programming test so that you can take the time to complete it.
  4. Then, we’ll schedule a chat to go through them and discuss possibilities, approaches and tradeoffs. We may ask you to show us a previous project you have done.
  5. A meeting with our CDO and your team-lead.
  6. Optionally, any other meeting you or us might need to clarify any pending questions.
  7. We send you an offer.
