About the Role

Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. This company is developing an intelligent automation platform that powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — connecting to data sources, reconciling documents and transactions, and preparing deliverables like journal entries and reporting packages, all without requiring firms to rip and replace their existing systems.

As a Backend Engineer, you'll own core backend infrastructure with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments. You'll be working at the intersection of enterprise-grade security, distributed systems, and AI-native workflows — with meaningful ownership from day one.

What You'll Do

• Design and manage backend infrastructure for permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability

• Oversee deployment architectures for hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling

• Enhance system reliability, performance, and security in production environments

• Partner closely with product teams to deliver features while upholding quality standards

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

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Experience building backend infrastructure with a strong emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across hosted and self-hosted deployments

• Familiarity with distributed systems and modern observability toolchains (metrics, logs, tracing) to monitor backend services

• Ability to thrive in a small founding team — strong ownership, initiative, and cross-functional coordination are a must

• 1–3 years of relevant backend engineering experience

• Eligibility to work in Germany and willingness to work on-site in Berlin

Tech Stack:

• TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Inngest, React, Tailwind

Nice to Have:

• Background at companies building in AI/ML infrastructure, fintech, or B2B SaaS (e.g. Basis, Willow, Eigen, Decagon, Dynamo AI, or similar)

• Experience with LLM orchestration or agentic workflow platforms

• Familiarity with private markets, fund accounting, or financial operations tooling

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience

• Early-stage equity opportunity

• High-impact role with direct influence on the product and company direction

Location

• Berlin, Germany — on-site

• Candidates must be eligible to work in Germany; visa sponsorship is not available
