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.
