A little bit about Flanks
Flanks is shaking up the wealth management industry by making it simpler and way more efficient for financial institutions. Our SaaS platform is designed to help banks, family offices, and wealth managers get a full picture of their clients' financial assetsâall in one place.

What we stand for:
People First â our team comes first. We want every Flanker to feel at home, engaged, and part of something bigger.
Keep Growing â as the company grows, so should you. Weâre all about personal and professional development here.
Think Twice, Act Once â we believe in thoughtful decisions, considering the impact on both our team and our clients before taking action.

Tech Team
We power the ingestion, processing, and delivery of data for our customers. As we scale, new challenges ariseâhereâs where you come in:
Build seamless user interfaces for secure credential storage (UI/UX is key!).
Handle sensitive financial data with performance, compliance, and traceability in mind.
Scale our ingestion system to fetch more data, faster.
â Mentor and grow the team, ensuring alignment and consistency as we expand.
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 youâll 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 youâll also need planning and communication skills way beyond just âdoing your workâ: 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
Python or JS/Typescript on our back-end, using async frameworks and tooling for most parts.
Vue and Nuxt in our front-ends.
Running on GKE
Powered by MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch
Also, Github, Github actions, Redis, RabbitMQ and other usual suspects.
Things we'd love to see on you
You are a nice person: We donât tolerate bigotry or toxic behaviorâjust good vibes.
At least 7 years on an Engineer Software role.
Autonomous coder: You donât need your work double-checkedâyouâre on top of it.
You know your way around collaborating with others using standard tooling (git, github PR's, etc).
You are a good communicator who knows how to express problems, solutions and trade-offs.
On the other hand, you know how to read and understand job offers. You can triage what's important and what's not.
Focused: You know how to read between the lines and prioritize what matters most.
You can work with both legacy and greenfield code
You take ownership of problems.
Wealth knowledge: A little expertise in investments, currencies, crypto, or wealth management is a plus.
You live in Spain and are close enough to Barcelona to commute to the office once a month by your own means. Living in Spain is a mandatory and non-negotiable requirement.
Youâre fluent in English and Spanish.
Experience matters: This is not an entry-level role.
Tech savvy: Familiar with our tech stackâor similar ones.
You donât have to check every box, but the more you fit this, the more likely weâll be excited to hear from you!
What we offer
We offer what we think is fair compensation. We're not on the very top of the market, but our intention is to increase compensation as you grow with the company. You will not be left behind. We believe this is a really nice time to join the project as we'll experience some serious growth and changes during this year.
