Job description

About the Role

This is a hands-on, end-to-end technical delivery role at a pre-seed AI fintech startup building automation tooling for private market operations. You'll work directly with asset servicers and asset managers to translate their real workflows into production-grade AI-driven deployments — and feed everything you learn back into the core product. It's a high-ownership position on a small, senior founding team.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full project lifecycle from initial discovery with customer operations teams through to production launch.
  • Collaborate directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and surface adoption barriers.
  • Convert client processes into AI-driven workflows on the platform, including fund accounting agents and reconciliation pipelines.
  • Build customer-tailored prototypes with rapid iteration, adjusting scope based on what you learn in the field.
  • Translate deployment insights into concrete product development feedback and roadmap input.
  • Develop reusable components and standardised approaches from recurring implementation patterns.

What We're Looking For

  • 1–6 years of experience in software engineering, forward deployment, or a closely related technical role.
  • Hands-on proficiency with TypeScript, NestJS, Postgres, Prisma, Inngest, React, TanStack, and Tailwind.
  • Comfort working across the full stack and owning technical delivery independently.
  • Strong communication skills — able to lead workflow discovery sessions with non-technical operations stakeholders.
  • Background in or strong interest in fintech, private markets, fund accounting, or enterprise workflow automation is a plus.
  • Experience at a high-calibre software company or in a customer-facing engineering role is valued.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year
  • Visa sponsorship: available
