Founding Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Berlin

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI fintech company building intelligent automation for private market operations — think fund accounting, reconciliation, and reporting workflows. You'll work directly alongside the founding team and early design partners to shape both the product and the company itself, with a clear path to engineering leadership.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain core platform components, including AI agents that capture data from inboxes, web portals, and connected sources.

• Design and implement production-grade backend APIs and services that power end-to-end financial operations workflows.

• Develop and operate LLM-based and agentic systems that automate reconciliation, data extraction, and journal entry generation.

• Collaborate directly with customers and design partners to gather requirements, define the product roadmap, and communicate trade-offs.

• Contribute to hiring and help attract exceptional engineering talent as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience.

• Hands-on experience with large language models and agentic/autonomous systems in production environments.

• Strong backend development skills, including building and maintaining production-grade APIs and services.

• Experience building or operating AI-native operations infrastructure (e.g., for accounting, reconciliation, or treasury).

• Domain knowledge in private markets fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury processes.

• Comfort with ambiguity and high ownership in a small, fast-moving founding team.

• Experience working directly with customers or design partners to shape product direction.

• Eligible to work in Germany (visa sponsorship available); based in or willing to relocate to Berlin.

Salary range: €70,000 – €110,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.
