About the job
A growth-stage fintech company is putting AI agents to work inside wealth management, a heavily regulated field where mistakes are costly. It needs a platform-minded engineer to build the base layer that a small, fast engineering group relies on, as the business expands partly through acquisitions.
What you’ll own
Architect and operate the shared infrastructure layer plus the server-side services that other engineers build upon
Create secure, isolated environments in which AI agents can execute work safely
Improve the developer workflow with internal tooling that removes friction from shipping
Tune performance and spend, since automated agents hit the system constantly across all client accounts
Keep the platform dependable as new businesses and data are folded in
What you bring
Five or more years in backend, platform or infrastructure engineering
Solid backend design instincts covering APIs, data stores and pipelines
Hands-on cloud, container orchestration and deployment automation (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform)
Experience building and owning internal platforms or developer tooling at a fast-growing tech company
Nice to have: sandboxing and secure code execution, regulated-industry exposure, query optimization, or AI agent infrastructure
