About the Role
Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. This company is developing an intelligent automation platform that powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — connecting to data sources, reconciling documents and transactions, and preparing deliverables like journal entries and reporting packages, all without requiring firms to rip and replace their existing systems.
As a Backend Engineer, you'll own core backend infrastructure with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments. You'll be working at the intersection of enterprise-grade security, distributed systems, and AI-native workflows — with meaningful ownership from day one.
