About Secfi

This is what we do at Secfi Who is Secfi? Secfi’s mission is to help startup employees & shareholders understand, maximize and unlock the value of their equity. We provide education, tax planning tools and financing to guide employees on their journey from startup to exit. Our set of online forecasting tools enable individuals to assess the value of their stock options and calculate the cost to exercise. Financing is available to help employees exercise options or unlock liquidity for important financial goals. And our team of Equity Advisors is available to assist every step of the way. We bring clarity, peace of mind and thoughtful planning to thousands of startup employees. Working for a scale-up feels like building a plane while already flying in the air. It’s messy, it’s exciting, and you are constantly learning. Customer Focus, Perseverance, Action, Ownership, Diversity, and Team are embedded in everything we do. Engineering @ Secfi Our engineering team organizes itself in one or more chapters for each discipline. Within each chapter, a chapter lead is responsible for the personal and professional growth of each member and the culture within the chapter. The tech leads align the technological approach across chapters and coach and mentor other engineers. Any cross-cutting concern that does not (yet) justify creating a dedicated chapter is addressed in so-called Communities of Practice that all engineers are encouraged to create and/or join.Our product managers pitch projects to the chapters, which then form squads to solve the corresponding business problem. All members of the squads are involved early in the process and partake in problem and solution discovery, prototyping, and user testing as well as all other aspects of the product development process. During this process, we strive to iterate quickly and release features as quickly as possible to collect feedback for our next development cycle. But even more importantly, we are a family. Our department consists of around a dozen different nationalities, we love and encourage diversity and always treat each other with respect. Also, we hang out outside of work, have events such as company-sponsored Hackathons, and go all-out in our yearly global company trips. The things we work on day-to-day The finance and equity space is quite complex and one of the main challenges we face is how to simplify this area into a platform that can easily guide, educate and help our clients know how to understand and maximize the value of their equity. We work on clever solutions to teach complex topics in simple ways so that our clients do not need to do the hard work themselves. We are continuously being critical of ourselves by analyzing our UI/UX experience, talking with clients about our platform and reviewing our own processes internally. We also handle complex tax calculations for our equity tools that require an in-depth understanding of the US tax system and its implications on stock options and shares. This is what you will help us achieve Transitioning to graphQL for backend communication Complex form management involving behind the scenes tax, rates and other financial calculations Removing legacy mobx-state-tree complex codebase in favour of graphQL/Apollo and React context Transitioning our non-uniform codebase into an agreed upon front end architecture Handling important private data and client information securely Global event tracking for our tools and platform Implementing an internal application to manage our clients Unifying micro services into a more maintainable setup Finalizing a best practices agreement As our team grows, we will be challenged to manage dependencies and code conflicts - currently we are two teams with minimal overlap but as we increase our size this will become more important and prevalent Performance of our backend services --> 1) Improve response time of services 2) As our traffic increases we need our infrastructure and endpoints to be able to handle the load Testing - we need conventions on how to write more tests and how to write better effective tests - we do have testing as part of our culture but we need to make it more important and more efficient Aligning deployment and release processes Improve build times of front end repositories Unify CSS approach across repositories (currently handled in multiple ways) Building a UI primitives library leveraged across multiple repositories who all currently approach the UI in slightly different ways
