Vessel is hiring Software Developers of all levels to join a small and capable team of builders working on a cloud-based fintech web app. Tech includes TypeScript, SvelteKit, Node, Nix, Docker, Terraform, and AWS. There’s a fast growing demand for investments in private funds (private equity, venture capital, etc.) datarooms, investor portals, online document signing software, etc.) Seasoned institutional investors are unimpressed and investors that are new to private markets are overwhelmed by the investment process. Fundraising is hard enough and few fund managers want to spend millions to build custom software or hire armies of investor relations professionals to chase after investors. Vessel was built by former private market investors and fund managers (from firms such as Inovia Capital, Teralys Capital and Power Sustainable) that have been very successful at fundraising and managing investor relations. Our mission is to make investing in private funds easy (almost as easy as investing in a stock on Wealthsimple) and make fundraising less painful. We’re a white-label SaaS platform for fund managers and investor relations teams to wow investors and manage all parts of the relationship with investors, from marketing an investment opportunity to onboarding investors, and sharing news and financial reports. Vessel has already helped fund managers close tens of millions of dollars, grown more than 20x since last year and signed some of the most well-established fund managers in the industry. You’ll be working on features such as identity verification, website builders, scheduled payment collection, and electronic document signing. We build tools so that our customers – other businesses – can delight their own customers. Our customers require a wide range of tools to help them market a fund,



invite broad networks of investors, manage and sign contracts, and eventually collect many millions of dollars of funds from their investors. Right now, early customers and feedback have given us solid conviction in our vision and you will be building the aforementioned products with us. You’ll be writing code and designing features with the CTO, 5 developers, and a product designer. Writing is important. Both technical and product, we write our ideas down and critique them. Ultimately you’re working to solve our customers' problems. We’re all‑in on SvelteKit for the web app and Node for the backend. You’ll be writing it all in TypeScript, covering it with automated testing, and continuously deploying it to AWS via pipelines we’ve built ourselves. We love Managed Relational Databases and leveraging various encryption mechanisms to ensure the safety and security of our customers' very sensitive information. But when dealing with customer money, even a visual bug can cause customers stress. So part of this job means making a big deal out of small problems to retain customer trust. You will occasionally be on‑call which might mean getting woken up at midnight to fix things when it’s your turn. If you’ve read Shape Up or Mythical Man Month, and you liked the surgical team or really want to work in cycles, you’ll fit right in here. You will work with a small and capable team across software, product, finance,



and ops to build the right product. We instead drive to solutions by acting in the best interest of the company and the customer. You will spend this week taking strategic technical decisions on your own. Vessel is looking to add one software developer to the team. You might be new in your career, or an experienced back‑end developer who wants to learn SvelteKit, or a self‑taught full‑stack developer that feels right at home in all these technologies. Avoiding introducing randomness into any stage of development will need to become reflexive for you. You’re comfortable on the command line and a portable Unix toolchain. You are annoyed if we’re loading the same heavy asset six times in the client and slowing down first page load. You’re capable of balancing returns – the customer and developer experience – and investments on your own. And where you lack experience, you show potential and unwavering commitment. You will also be offered equity in the company. Our health and dental coverage plan is generous and above market. You’ll get 20 days of paid vacation and 5 paid sick days. paid vacation between Christmas and New Year while the whole office is closed and we don’t worry about emails from colleagues. You must be comfortable coming to the office twice a week. Vessel trusts everyone to do their best work where they please while simultaneously valuing physical connections in‑office. For 60 days a year, you can decide where and how you work with no expectation of office presence. To apply to the role, you’ll need a resume that helps us gauge your suitability for this role. If you don’t have the experience, then showcase your skills and potential in writing by telling us about something you’ve
