About the Role
This is a core backend engineering role at a small, high-caliber founding team building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets.

What You'll Do
Manage and evolve backend infrastructure with a strong emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability.
Oversee deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling.
Enhance system reliability, performance, and security across production environments.
Partner closely with product teams to ship features while maintaining high quality standards.
Drive AI-native development practices that enable rapid, high-quality releases.
What We're Looking For
1–6 years of backend development experience.
Proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for building production-grade backend services.
Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma in production environments.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi to manage deployments.
Comfort working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with a high degree of ownership.
