About the Role
Join a small, high-caliber founding team at a pre-seed AI/fintech startup building the next generation of AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. You'll own core backend systems that power fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for an engineer who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to shape foundational architecture from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Own and manage backend infrastructure for permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability
- Design and oversee deployment architectures for hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tools
- Enhance system reliability, performance, and security in production
- Partner closely with product teams to ship features while maintaining high quality standards
- Drive AI-native development practices to enable rapid, high-quality releases
Requirements
- 1–6 years of backend engineering experience with a strong emphasis on permissions systems, auditability, traceability, and observability
- Hands-on experience with distributed systems and modern observability toolchains (metrics, logs, tracing)
- Comfortable working in a small founding team — strong ownership, initiative, and cross-functional coordination are essential
- Eligible to work in Germany and willing to work on-site in Berlin
- Candidates must be eligible to work in Germany; no visa sponsorship available
