🚀 Founding Backend Engineer – TypeScript, Infra, AI-native Finance
📍 Amsterdam (Hybrid – 2 days/week)
💸 €90–105k + Equity (pre-Series A)
I'm looking for a founding backend engineer to help build a brand-new AI-native platform for CFOs, think structured workflows, real-time finance data, and autonomous agents that help businesses make faster, sharper decisions.
Greenfield. Fully cloud-native. No technical debt.
They’ve already landed their first pilot customers and have real backing. Now it’s about building properly — with the care of a seasoned engineer, not the duct tape of a hackathon.
This is a backend engineering role, not DevOps, not frontend, with a strong infra mindset.
We’re talking real engineering here:
- TypeScript across the board — not just for app-layer logic, but backend and infra too
- GCP-native – Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, IAM, Monitoring
- Pulumi for IaC – clean, reusable infrastructure code (no YAML hell)
- GitHub Actions, CI/CD, containerised everything
- Event-driven architecture – scalable, observable, cost-aware systems from day one
- Tight feedback loops with product and AI teams
Who is this for?
- You write clean, maintainable TypeScript — ideally with 5+ years of backend experience
- You think about things like latency, observability, and deployment while you code
- You’ve designed backend systems that had to scale, evolve, and stay sane
- You’ve worked with GCP, AWS, or Azure, and you’re comfortable in cloud-native setups
- You like infrastructure as code — Pulumi/Terraform/CDK are familiar (or you’re curious to dive in)
Why Join?
- Ownership – huge scope to influence architecture, tooling, and product direction
- Growth path – this role can evolve into Tech Lead
- Product-first – AI meets finance, built by ex-founders and operators
- Equity – early stage, real upside
This isn’t just another “backend role.” It’s a rare opportunity to own the core of a platform that’s already gaining traction, in a company that genuinely wants to build well, 6 months old, and already 10 strong.
If this sounds like your kind of playground, let’s talk.
