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.
