Description
About the Role
Join a small, high-caliber founding team at a pre-seed AI/fintech startup building the next generation of AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. You'll own core backend systems that power fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for an engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to shape foundational architecture from the ground up.
What You'll Do
Own and manage backend infrastructure for permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability
Design and oversee deployment architectures for hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tools
Enhance system reliability, performance, and security in production
Partner closely with product teams to ship features while maintaining high quality standards
Drive AI-native development practices to enable rapid, high-quality releases
What We're Looking For
Required:
1–6 years of backend engineering experience with a strong emphasis on permissions systems, auditability, traceability, and observability
Hands-on experience with distributed systems and modern observability toolchains (metrics, logs, tracing)
Comfortable working in a small founding team — strong ownership, initiative, and cross-functional coordination are essential
Eligible to work in Germany and willing to work on-site in Berlin
Tech stack in use:
TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Inngest, Mastra, React, Tailwind
Nice to have:
Background in fintech, private markets, fund accounting, or enterprise SaaS
Experience at companies operating in the AI/ML or financial operations space
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience
Early-stage equity opportunity
Direct impact on product direction and architecture at a founding-team level
