## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small, high-caliber founding team at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building the future of private market operations. We're creating infrastructure that powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — designed from the ground up with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across both hosted and self-hosted deployments.

As a Backend Engineer, you'll have real ownership over core backend systems at an early stage, working alongside a tight-knit team to ship production-grade software in a high-stakes financial services environment.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own and manage backend infrastructure for permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability

- Design and oversee deployment architectures for both hosted and self-hosted environments using infrastructure-as-code tools

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

- Partner closely with product teams to deliver new features while maintaining rigorous quality standards

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

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

### Required:

- 1–6 years of backend development experience

- Proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for building backend services

- Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Prisma in production-grade environments

- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi to manage deployments

### Nice to have / Tech context:

- Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (e.g. Inngest) or agentic frameworks

- Experience working in fintech, private markets, or enterprise SaaS environments

- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage startup environment with a high degree of autonomy

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience

- Visa sponsorship is available

- Early-stage equity opportunity (founding team hire)

### LOCATION

This is an on-site role based in Berlin, Germany. You'll be working daily with a co-located founding team. Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available for the right candidate.

**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.
