Job description

What youll do

• Design and build backend services for the platform, primarily in Go, running on AWS with Postgres as a core data store.
• Own features and services end-to-end: from shaping requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support, including taking responsibility for how they run in production.
• Own the technical design of features within key services: contributing to design and architecture discussions, making sound technical decisions in your area, and helping other engineers grow through pairing and code review.
• Help define and evolve the target state architecture for the platform: service boundaries, data models, integration patterns, and reliability/observability standards.
• Use AI tooling (e.g.Claude and similar) as a force multiplier to accelerate discovery, prototyping, and implementation, while maintaining a high bar for code quality, security, and correctness.
• Collaborate with product, operations, and other engineering teams to integrate the platform with upstream and downstream systems, and to model private markets workflows effectively.
• Contribute to and improve engineering practices across the team: automated testing, code review, design documentation, CI/CD, monitoring, and incident response.
• Work effectively in an early-stage environment with evolving requirements, helping to shape our engineering processes, tooling, and standards as we scale the platform.

Our stack

We are language-agnostic in principle, but the current stack includes:

• Languages: Go (primary), with room for the right tool for specific problems.
• Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes.
• Data: Postgres as a core relational store.
• APIs: gRPC and HTTP-based services.
• Tooling: GitOps, IaC, observability tooling.

You dont need prior experience with every technology above, but you should be comfortable learning and working across this kind of stack.

What were looking for

Must-have experience

• Significant experience as a Senior Software Engineer (or equivalent), building and operating backend systems in production.
• Deep experience in at least one modern backend language (Go, Java, C#, etc.), and an interest in working with Go day-to-day.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, service design, and API design.
• Practical experience with relational databases, ideally Postgres: schema design, performance considerations, and migration strategies.
• Track record of owning problems end-to-end: engaging with stakeholders, clarifying requirements, making design trade-offs, and delivering working software into production.
• Comfortable working with and evaluating AI tooling in your workflow (e.g.for ideation, code generation, test generation, or documentation), while retaining strong engineering judgement and maintaining quality.

Nice-to-have experience

• Experience in private markets, capital markets, asset management, or adjacent financial domains.
• Experience working in an early-stage or 01 environment, where architecture, tooling, and processes are still being defined.
• Experience with:
  • Document generation workflows, e-signature platforms, or regulated operational processes.
  • Infrastructure-as-code and AWS-based platforms.
  • Event-driven architectures, workflow engines, or orchestration systems (e.g.Temporal).

How you work

• You are pragmatic and delivery-focused, but care deeply about designing systems that are reliable, observable, and maintainable.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and can help turn loosely defined problems into clear technical plans, making sensible trade-offs under time and information constraints.
• You are keen to learn about the private markets domain, and you can work with product and operations partners to shape workflows and requirements.
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and you are happy to challenge assumptions constructively.
• You are collaborative and low ego: you give and receive feedback well, and you care about the success of the overall platform, not just your own code.

Impact

In your first 3-6 months you will:

• Design and deliver significant features and components within the platform's core services and workflows.
• Uphold and help improve the platform's engineering standards (testing, observability, operational readiness) in the services you work on.
• Improve the teams speed and quality of delivery, including through effective use of AI tooling and better development practices.
• Build toward broader technical ownership (e.g. leading the design of a key service or stepping into a Lead role) as the platform and team expand.
