About Us

Sydecar is on a mission to transform the world of private markets. Our goal is to make these markets more accessible, transparent, and liquid, and we're achieving this by revolutionizing the way investment vehicles are created and executed.

At Sydecar, we're not just a platform; we're a trusted partner in venture capital. We're dedicated to simplifying and standardizing the private investing experience, empowering capital allocators to discover and support visionary entrepreneurs who are shaping the future.

Our platform is designed with ease and efficiency in mind. We take care of all the behind-the-scenes tasks, from automating banking, ensuring compliance, handling contracts, managing taxes, to streamlining reporting. This leaves investors the freedom to concentrate on what matters most: making valuable deals and nurturing meaningful relationships.

Join us at Sydecar, as we lead the charge in revolutionizing private investing.

What You'll Be Doing
• Own the technical design, implementation, testing, and technical documentation of several new products.
• Create robust and easy to maintain components and libraries as needed, and select plug-in technologies to help extend functionality. Optimize our web-first, responsive webapp development approach.
• Ensure code quality via solid PRs and building of automated tests using React Testing Library and Cypress.
• Work in a small, tight team of experienced web developers with many years of production experience in industries such as education and e-commerce. We have an aversion to tech debt, and we don’t pay lip service to the retrospective, but really try to improve our SDLC every sprint.

What We're Looking For
• Solid experience and desire to sling HTML, CSS, Tailwind, Yarn, etc.
• Modern JS skills with specific experience in React and Typescript.
• Experience with ORMs and SQL esp. Postgres.

• Understanding of automated testing with React Testing Library.

• Strong knowledge of React ecosystem and opinions about what a good stack looks like.
• Comfortable with sudden shifts in functionality as we respond rapidly to user feedback.
• You’re not afraid of on-call shifts and hot-fixes, if they have to happen. Of course, you know that solid testing minimizes the pain of on-call and hotfixes.

Bonus if you have
• Ability and willingness to document your code effectively in README’s, videos, etc.
• Experience in CD/CI/Cloud deployments such as AWS, GCP, terraform.
