## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small, high-caliber founding team at a pre-seed AI-native fintech startup building the infrastructure that powers private market operations — including fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation. As a Backend Engineer, you'll own core backend systems with a deep focus on permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability, supporting both hosted and self-hosted deployment environments.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the technical foundations of a product used by asset servicers and asset managers who rely on it for high-stakes, enterprise-grade workflows.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own and evolve backend infrastructure for permissions, auditability, traceability, and observability across all deployment environments.

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

- Improve system reliability, performance, and security in production at an enterprise-grade standard.

- Partner closely with product teams to ship features quickly without sacrificing quality or maintainability.

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

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

### Required:

- 1–6 years of backend development experience.

- Strong 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 cloud deployments.

### Nice to Have:

- Familiarity with the broader stack: Inngest, Mastra, React, or Tailwind.

- Background in financial services, private markets, or enterprise SaaS products.

- Experience with self-hosted deployment models and strict data isolation requirements.

- Prior experience at a high-growth startup or in a founding-team environment.

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

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

- Visa sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.

- Opportunity for meaningful early-stage equity and direct impact on product direction.

### LOCATION

This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. The team works together in person — no remote option is available at this time.

**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.
