PassFort Limited

Industry

At PassFort, we share a powerful vision to enable businesses & individuals to establish trust online. We’re connecting the human concept of trust with the transformative technology of the internet.

Have you opened a bank account recently from the comfort of your home? With nothing more than a few clicks and pics? We’re the technology in the background enabling our regulated clients to onboard customers digitally and efficiently. We’re focussed on translating complex compliance policies into an easy to use operating system that helps to automate workflows, integrate with data vendors, and provide a range of tools for case management and reporting.

It’s an exciting time to join the team as the product builds in complexity, and will challenge you to think about how best to help us scale in line with the wider PassFort vision.

Engineering Culture & Values

Our Values are simple yet powerful and can be seen and felt day-to-day in how we like to work:

Trust

• Ownership
  Once a piece of work is groomed and scoped, you will be given complete ownership in deciding how to break this down and deliver it. We know we can rely on you to get stuff done.

• Flexibility
  We work flexibly to allow people a great work-life balance, so you’ll be empowered to set your own rhythm and bring your best self to work.

Empowerment

• Working together without hierarchy
  We empower everyone to share their ideas and opinions to come up with the best solution to achieve our goals, together.

• End-to-end ownership
  You’ll get experience across the whole product, and own implementation across design, delivery and deployment. You’ll be empowered to make decisions to drive PassFort forward and have a real impact.

Growth

• There’s no such thing as a silly question
  It’s how we learn and improve, and we’re all absolutely happy to help other team members when needed.

• Continuously improving
  We regularly reflect on our progress and we’re always looking for ways to improve, from the technologies we use to our own skills.

• Personal development
  You’ll have the support you need to invest in your development to enable you to be great in your role (you’ll be encouraged to get involved in projects across the stack!), and also work towards your long term career goals.

Tech advantages

We work with modern cutting edge tech-centered on Rust, Python, and React.

• We’re one of the few companies using Rust commercially - it allows us to build and deploy powerful, scalable and quick solutions to our customers.
• We’re very flexible when it comes to adopting new technologies and techniques. We listen to our team and implement tools they decide are best to complete the projects they are leading.
• Our microservice architecture adds to this - allowing for the right tools to be used for the right things. We’re building for the future.
• Overall, we love our tech stack as it means spending less time fixing issues and more time solving exciting new challenges.

A day-in-a-life of an Engineer at PassFort

We're remote friendly, so you might be set up at home (with a Home Office budget), or at our great central London, a quick walk away through a haven of fantastic markets/restaurants/cafes.

We come together as a team for a daily morning stand-up. It’s a chance for everyone to share their progress on various projects they are working on so everyone’s in the loop, we can track how we’re going against our goals and get ahead of any challenges.

We might kick off grooming of a new feature - we work closely with our Product & Design teams to ensure we understand why a new feature will be valuable to customers, and collaborate on how best we can meet their needs.

Take your lunch break whenever you feel like - we’re flexible!

We’ll continue working on projects across the day. We love having a lot of ownership and autonomy with our work, but everyone gets involved in code reviews and pitching in if someone gets stuck.

Finally, your day might be finished with releasing a new feature. Continuous deployment is something we are really proud of as it allows us to release great new features to our customers quicker.

Our recruitment process

Our recruitment process varies per role, however, in general, these are the stages you would go through:

• A telephone interview to dive into your experience and give you insight into PassFort and what we do in more detail.
• A take-home task designed to test your technical knowledge and expertise.
• A final face to face interview which offers the chance to see our office and meet more of the wider team. We’ll get a bit more technical, and go over the task you completed at home! This is also a chance for us to see how you would fit with our culture and values, and vice versa for you to ask questions and see if you would enjoy being with us.
