Job description

About the Company

We are an early-stage Fintech + AI startup backed by seasoned investors from the financial and technology sectors. Our mission is to reinvent how users interact with modern financial tools by combining AI-driven intelligence with high-performance trading and investment infrastructure.


Role Overview

As a Founding Engineer with a focus on Backend and Data, you will be the core architect of our financial engine. You will design, build, and scale the robust server-side systems that power our trading infrastructure and data processing pipelines, ensuring high availability, latency, and security for our AI-driven financial tools.


What You’ll Do

  • Backend Architecture: Design and implement scalable backend services, APIs, and data infrastructure to support complex trading and investment workflows.
  • Data Engineering: Build high-performance data pipelines for real-time financial market data.
  • Infrastructure: Architect and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, ensuring reliability, security, and scalability.
  • Engineering Excellence: Act as an "AI-native" engineer, leveraging AI coding agents to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous code quality standards.


Ideal Candidate

  • Proficient in backend and data processing programming languages (Python, TypeScript, C++, or Rust).
  • Strong experience architecting and managing cloud infrastructure and microservices.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, database design, and high-concurrency environments.
  • Bias for action, autonomy, and a track record of delivering "zero-to-one" products.


Nice to Have

  • Experience training, evaluating, and deploying AI/ML models.
  • Deep familiarity with trading systems and financial data architecture.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or modern DevOps stacks.


Location

  • Based in or open to relocating to San Francisco.
