Backend Engineer

Summary

Backend Engineer owning core infrastructure for AI-native private-markets operations (fund accounting, treasury, reconciliation) in Berlin, using TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and IaC tools.

About the Role

You'll own core backend infrastructure at a small, high-caliber founding team building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. This is a foundational engineering role where your work directly powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — with a deep emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across hosted and self-hosted deployments.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain backend infrastructure with a strong focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability.

  • Design and manage deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tooling.

  • Improve system reliability, performance, and security in production environments.

  • Collaborate closely with product teams to ship features without compromising 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.

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for building production backend services.

  • Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma in production-grade backends.

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

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with high ownership and low process.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year.

  • Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

On-site in Berlin, Germany. This role requires regular in-person presence at the Berlin office.
