Motivate Venture Capital

CFOs and Finance teams of businesses struggle with inefficient financial operations processes and wish there were a unified financial operations management platform where they could bank, transact, and plan—all in one place.

At Finofo, we are on a mission to bring advanced financial services for global businesses via a unified platform. Our vision is to enable CFOs and financial decision makers of global businesses to have a radically easier way to develop and manage their FX strategy through Finofo's digital platform.

The role

As Finofo’s Front End Engineer, you will have an opportunity to build the next critical components of our platform and have an immediate impact on our product roadmap. It is a demanding role and perfect for people who love to build high-impact components and have the mindset of shipping fast, learning from the feedback, and iterating.

You will be asked to ramp up fast and deliver value immediately, but we are here to help support your learning of our codebase, product, and engineering processes. We promise rapid development and a feedback loop for you to master your craft.

The team

You will be joining an experienced team with both founders having deep industry experience in the FX products. We attract an extremely high level of VC investor interest for our next round; so much so that we decided to share this attention with other cool startups actively raising right now.

We’re based in Calgary and have an office in downtown Calgary. The company is well-funded by investors like Motivate Venture Capital, SaaS Ventures, Desjardins, and Sweet Spot Capital.
