About The Role

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI fintech company building intelligent automation for private market operations — think fund accounting, reconciliation, and reporting workflows. You'll work directly alongside the founding team and early design partners to shape both the product and the company itself, with a clear path to engineering leadership.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Build and maintain core platform components, including AI agents that capture data from inboxes, web portals, and connected sources.
  • Design and implement production-grade backend APIs and services that power end-to-end financial operations workflows.
  • Develop and operate LLM-based and agentic systems that automate reconciliation, data extraction, and journal entry generation.
  • Collaborate directly with customers and design partners to gather requirements, define the product roadmap, and communicate trade-offs.
  • Contribute to hiring and help attract exceptional engineering talent as the team grows.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Hands-on experience with large language models and agentic/autonomous systems in production environments.
  • Strong backend development skills, including building and maintaining production-grade APIs and services.
  • Experience building or operating AI-native operations infrastructure (e.g., for accounting, reconciliation, or treasury).
  • Domain knowledge in private markets fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury processes.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and high ownership in a small, fast-moving founding team.
  • Experience working directly with customers or design partners to shape product direction.
  • Eligible to work in Germany (visa sponsorship available); based in or willing to relocate to Berlin.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary range: €70,000 – €110,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.
