Melbourne, Victoria, Australia InvestorHub Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
Senior Platform Engineer - Elixir

Department: Engineering

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Melbourne (HQ)

Reporting To: Jimmy Qiu


Description We're solving the biggest problem facing capital markets in the 21st century: the rapidly-changing landscape of investing. Individual (aka "retail") investors are increasingly becoming the lifeblood of capital markets. But most public companies and their IR teams don't have the know-how, tools, or time to effectively engage with current and prospective retail investors. InvestorHub is an all-in-one solution that makes retail investor engagement efficient, effective, and measurable. In doing so, we're empowering companies to "own their investor relationships".
If you're wanting to join a company that merits hard work, diverse thinking, and an environment that promotes respect, accountability, and heart, then we want to hear from you
