## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll own core backend infrastructure at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building operations tooling for private markets. Working closely with a small, high-caliber founding team, you'll be responsible for the systems that power fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation, with a strong emphasis on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and maintain backend infrastructure covering permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability.

- Oversee deployment architectures for hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tools.

- Continuously improve system reliability, performance, and security in production.

- Partner with product teams to ship features while upholding high quality standards.

- Drive AI-native development practices that enable rapid, high-quality releases.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 1 to 6 years of professional backend development experience.

- Production experience building backend services with TypeScript and NestJS.

- Production experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma.

- Experience managing deployments with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.

- A track record of improving production reliability, security, performance, observability, or auditability.

- Practical hands-on experience with AI, ML, LLMs, or AI-native systems.

- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with a small team.

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary range: 70,000 to 110,000 EUR annually.

- Visa sponsorship is available.

### LOCATION

On-site in Berlin, Germany. This role requires in-person presence and is not available on a remote basis.

**Live in Clera’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
