Backend Engineer

About the Role

You'll own core backend infrastructure at a small, high-caliber founding team building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. This is a foundational engineering role where your work directly powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — with a deep emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across hosted and self-hosted deployments.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain backend infrastructure with a strong focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability.

• Design and manage deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling.

• Improve system reliability, performance, and security in production environments.

• Collaborate closely with product teams to ship features without compromising quality standards.

• Drive AI-native development practices that enable rapid, high-quality releases.

What We're Looking For

• 1–6 years of backend development experience.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for building production backend services.

• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma in production-grade backends.

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi to manage deployments.

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with high ownership and low process.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year.

• Visa sponsorship is available.
