The posting
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.

Drive AI-native development practices to enable rapid, high-quality releases
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)
