Build complex financial software that actually gets used — and loved.
At Phocas, engineers don’t just write features — they solve real-world modelling, performance, and data challenges for customers making high-stakes financial decisions every day.
For over twenty years, we've helped businesses transform complex operational and financial data into action. That means dealing with scale, ambiguity, multi-dimensional data and performance expectations that don’t allow for shortcuts. We’re now building our next generation of Financial Planning & Analysis products, and we’re looking for engineers who thrive on solving intricate problems with clarity and elegance.
You’ll join a team solving complex problems for enterprise customers, including:
- Inter-company Eliminations: Creating UI and data capabilities that allow customers to manually or automatically reconcile data between internal business entities when rolling up to Head Office level.
- Multi-currency: Enabling customers to manage budgets and forecasts across regions with flexible exchange rates and interfaces that support consolidated views in a single currency.
- Headcount Planning: Designing and delivering a new standalone repository for staff data to support better budgeting, forecasting, and workforce management.
We're looking for:
A full stack engineer with strong front-end capability and solid experience in:
- React & TypeScript
- Java
- SQL and database querying
- Data modelling and performance optimisation
- Experience delivering cloud-based applications (ideally on AWS)
You communicate technical decisions clearly, collaborate well across disciplines, and have a bias towards prototyping and iterative delivery. You’re curious, pragmatic, hungry to learn, and motivated by shipping high-quality solutions that make life easier for users.
Bonus points for:
- Experience with financial or accounting systems
- Handling large or complex datasets
- Effective use of automated testing
