ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building core backend infrastructure for an AI-native operations platform targeting the private markets industry. The platform powers 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 an early engineering role with significant ownership and direct impact on the systems that define the product's foundation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and evolve backend infrastructure with a strong emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability
- Design and manage deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling
- Enhance system reliability, performance, and security in production environments
- Partner closely with product and frontend teams to ship features while upholding quality standards
- Drive AI-native development practices that enable rapid, high-quality releases
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required:
- 1–3 years of backend engineering experience, with a focus on permissions systems, auditability, traceability, and observability
- Familiarity 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 (familiarity a plus):
- TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Prisma
- Inngest, Mastra
- React, Tailwind (for context)
Nice to Have:
- Background in fintech, private markets, fund accounting, or adjacent regulated industries
- Experience with enterprise security patterns: SSO, role-based access control, strict data isolation
- Prior experience at companies building AI/LLM-powered workflows or agentic systems
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience
- Early-stage equity opportunity
- High ownership and influence over architecture decisions at a foundational stage
