Senior Software Engineer - Backend, 80-100%

About Us

Layer Finance aims to digitally disrupt the private markets sector using Artificial

Intelligence. We are building a platform that streamlines deal sourcing and closing for

professional market participants. Our unique proposition integrates three pillars: Deal

Brokerage, SaaS solutions, and Outsourcing Services, all aimed at connecting investors

with high-quality off-market opportunities. Our Artificial Intelligence solutions boost

process efficiency and enable deal teams and professional investors to make better

decisions.

We are currently focusing on real estate investments, including both the financing of

development projects with debt or equity solutions, and the placement of existing assets

in the secondary market. Additional asset classes, such as company transactions, like

strategic financing or company exits, will be added to our platform in the near future. Our

unfair advantage is that we have an in-house team of senior business experts with many

years of experience in private markets deal sourcing and closing.
