The role is heavily backend-focused, with exposure to product, customer workflows, infrastructure, and architecture decisions from day one.


You’ll be expected to move quickly, prototype rapidly, and help shape both the technical roadmap and broader company direction.


Responsibilities

→    Design and build scalable backend systems and APIs

→    Develop infrastructure for ingesting, transforming, and analysing structured and unstructured financial data

→    Work closely with customers to translate real-world workflows into product features

→    Help build a high-performance engineering culture within a fast-moving startup environment


Tech Stack

→    Python

→    Java

→    Go

→    AWS

→    Redis

→    Temporal


Candidate Profile

→    2+ years of software engineering experience

→    Strong backend engineering experience using Python, Java, or Go

→    Experience building scalable APIs and distributed systems

→    Strong data modelling and database design capability

→    Comfortable operating in ambiguity and startup environments

→    Product-minded engineer who enjoys customer interaction and rapid iteration

→    Strong communication skills and ownership mentality


Nice to Have

→    Experience within fintech, investment platforms, or financial data products

→    Exposure to alternative investments or hedge fund workflows

→    Experience building AI-enabled or agentic systems

→    Previous early-stage startup or 0→1 experience


Package

→    $175k-$225k base salary

→    Meaningful equity package

→    On-site in NYC

→    Founding engineer opportunity (employee #4)


Why Join?

→    Build in a massive $24T market undergoing major digital transformation

→    Work directly with experienced founders from Goldman Sachs and leading hedge funds

→    Influence product, engineering culture, and company direction from day one

→    Solve real operational problems for some of the largest investment firms in the world

→    Join an ambitious, high-calibre team at an extremely early stage
