London Jobs - April 2022

API Debt Facility for Fintechs | Founding team members | London, UK

I am building an API-first debt facility for Fintechs. Lending FinTechs can borrow funds to lend to their users in real time without ever needing to raise an external debt facility from funds. The concept builds on top of "Banking as a Service" platforms that allow fintechs to create and manage banking accounts and credit cards on behalf of their users. We will aim to make financial capital readily available for their business model on subscription basis.

The offering has been well received among early stage FinTechs in London (consumer loans, BNPL, car financing, invoice financing) and leading angel investors. I am now looking to bring on board talented founding team members to build the first iteration of the product. Get in touch: https://bit.ly/li_prof13

- Front end design: designers - ideally with some ability to program - to work on usability and aesthetics for our applications and other information-presenting systems, on both web and desktop

## About Us

Symmetry Investments is a post startup USD 9+ billion alternative asset management company with around 250 people across multiple time zones and locations.

Our core technology team has been remote-first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, accelerated by the pandemic.

I'm co-CEO and co-COO, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are five years into a period of transformation from what was initially a fairly standard enterprise finance technology approach to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager. [Amaury Sechet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR4PSExnqk) and [Atila Neves](https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/) have been working with us as long-term consultants and we have many other talented people with lower public profiles.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming, but are oriented towards solving business problems, with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. SIL can compile and call C++, D, and C# at runtime and interoperate with Python and R. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D and we have a close involvement with the D Foundation and community, hosting DConf in London. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Haskell, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with the tools we use.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure - don't be surprised if our founder and Chief Investment Officer starts asking you questions about your work.

GenPAx | Engineers (full stack, frontend/backend) | Notting Hill, London | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

GenPAx is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.

Infection control is the practical, evidence-based approach which prevents patients and health workers from being harmed by avoidable infection. No one should catch an infection while receiving health care, yet, these infections can spread through outbreaks and regular care practices, affecting hundreds of millions of people across the world every year.

At GenPAx our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which genome sequencing data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

We already have a world-class scientific team of bioinformaticians, and we're building out an engineering team to match. We need to productionise the analysis pipeline to scale out, and design and build a stunning user-facing product. The tech stack isn't set in stone yet - our lead engineer's recent experience is with Elixir/Python/TypeScript, but we're open minded.
