Software Engineer

The Software Engineer (Backend) designs and builds the core of an AI-driven financial data platform used by investors and portfolio companies for automated reporting, benchmarking, and informed decisions. This role combines Python backend engineering with end-to-end product ownership in an early-stage environment, where engineers contribute to technical direction, company culture, and hiring.

Product Engineering and Ownership

• Design, architect, and develop the core product as part of the engineering team.
• Own complete outcomes and continue improving them through iteration, documentation, and bug fixes. Engineers take responsibility for quality without a separate QA team.
• Partner with Product to scope and define features that advance shared goals and values.
• Contribute to the working culture and future hiring efforts, taking on varied responsibilities and working beyond familiar areas when needed.

Experience and Technical Skills

• At least six years of backend development experience and expertise in Python.
• A strong record of building and delivering web applications; experience creating them from scratch is particularly valuable.
• Understanding and consistent use of modern development practices, including Gitflow, continuous integration, and peer reviews.

Preferred experience

• Django framework experience.
• Expertise in modern infrastructure such as Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, and CircleCI.
