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

Location

  • Berlin, Germany — on-site

  • Candidates must be eligible to work in Germany; no visa sponsorship available
