About the Role

You'll own core backend infrastructure at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building operations tooling for private markets. Working closely with a small, high-caliber founding team, you'll be responsible for the systems that power fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation, with a strong emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments.

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

• Continuously improve system reliability, performance, and security in production.

• Partner with product teams to ship features while upholding high quality standards.

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

What We're Looking For

• 1 to 6 years of professional backend development experience.

• Production experience building backend services with TypeScript and NestJS.

• Production experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma.

• Experience managing deployments with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.

• A track record of improving production reliability, security, performance, observability, or auditability.

• Practical hands-on experience with AI, ML, LLMs, or AI-native systems.

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with a small team.
