## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll own core backend infrastructure at a small, high-caliber founding team building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. 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.

**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.
