About the Role

This is a maximum-ownership founding engineering role at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building autonomous agent workflows for private market operations. The platform connects to inboxes, web portals, and financial data sources to extract data, reconcile bank accounts, and generate journal entries for existing ERPs. You will work side-by-side with the founding team and early design partners, shaping the product roadmap, contributing to hiring, and taking on meaningful ownership from day one. Top performers will have the opportunity to grow quickly into a leadership role.

Responsibilities

  • Connect the platform to ERPs, banking systems, email, file storage, and other data sources
  • Collaborate directly with customers to understand requirements and translate them into product capabilities
  • Actively contribute to the product roadmap and architectural decisions
  • Help attract and evaluate exceptional engineering talent as the team grows

Requirements

  • 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience
  • Hands-on experience building or operating AI-native infrastructure — e.g. systems involving LLMs, agentic/autonomous systems, or intelligent workflow orchestration
  • Strong backend development skills: production-grade APIs and services
  • Domain knowledge in private markets fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, or treasury workflows
  • Comfort operating in a high-ownership, fast-paced founding environment with ambiguity and proactive communication
  • Eligibility to work in Germany (visa sponsorship is available)

  • Prior experience at fintech, fund administration, or financial operations tooling companies
