Job Description

Ever imagined replacing an entire finance team with a swarm of AI agents?

Our client is reimagining enterprise finance — building AI systems that automate reconciliation, close books, forecast revenue, and create board-ready reports in seconds.

As a Founding Backend Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in architecting and scaling the backend infrastructure that powers these intelligent systems. You'll collaborate directly with the founding team to:

• Design and build API layers and workflow orchestration for AI-driven automation
• Architect fault-tolerant, data-driven microservices connecting complex financial stacks
• Work on reasoning agents, AI pipelines, and real-time decision systems
• Shape early technical architecture and culture across the engineering team

Why It's Compelling

• $9M seed round raised from top-tier Silicon Valley investors — including leaders behind Ramp, SAP, and Perplexity.
• Founders with deep AI and cloud expertise — ex-Microsoft engineers who scaled Azure products handling $200B+ in annual revenue and trillions of queries per day.
• A rare chance to own infrastructure and direction at the intersection of finance, data, and AI.

Why Join

• True founding engineer status: your code will define the stack, culture, and velocity
• Hard, meaningful problems: fragmented data, reasoning agents, workflow orchestration under audit constraints
• High-impact environment: early customers, rapid iteration, and direct founder access
• Remote role with a global, high-commitment team focused on speed and outcomes

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science (top engineering institute preferred)
• 4–8 years of backend software engineering experience
• Strong in Python (FastAPI / Flask) and API design
• Experience with distributed systems, cloud (AWS/GCP), and scalable data pipelines
• Builder/founder mindset — ideally early-stage startup or founding-team experience
• Bonus: exposure to FinTech, ERP/accounting systems, or AI infrastructure

Benefits & Perks

• Salary ₹2.5M–₹8M depending on seniority
• Equity 0.3–1%, flexible on cash vs. ownership trade-off
• Direct access to founders and early engineering leadership
• Opportunity to shape foundational backend and AI systems
• Fully remote, outcome-based culture
