Who we are

We are setting new standards in the corporate finance industry. With a focused team of 30 people, we combine deep domain expertise in finance, data science, software, AI and UX to build a SaaS platform for M&A, Investors, Auditors and Banks.

We are among the fastest-growing start-ups in Europe and are now scaling internationally.

Our team combines backgrounds in investment banking, hedge funds, big tech and research – with a clear goal: to build the best possible product.

The role: Backend Engineer

We’re looking for a top-performing and highly ambitious engineer (m/f/d) with at least 1 year (better 2) of experience to help shape the future of fintech. Your responsibilities will include:

* Build and maintain MCP servers and connectors

* Develop agentic workflows and AI-powered automation pipelines

* Build backend services in Python and design robust APIs

* Work with diverse database technologies — Elasticsearch, Qdrant, PostgreSQL

* Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms and internal services

* Design and ship end-to-end features used by thousands of financial professionals

* Contribute to critical software design and architecture decisions around scalability, reliability, and AI infrastructure

* Improve the performance, accessibility, and user experience of our products

* Collaborate directly with clients and internal teams to understand needs and turn them into features

* Maintain a clear overview of our systems, addressing technical debt while ensuring long-term scalability

Qualifications - to be successful in this role, you will need:

Must-haves

* You must be extremely motivated & curious and thrive in a hyper-growth startup with massive ambitions – where relentless speed, bold ownership, and non-stop evolution define every single day

* At least 1 year (better 2) of professional software engineering experience, with proven experience designing & developing scalable and reliable software. Own serious scalable projects count as professional experience too.

* Proficiency in Python

* AI-native mindset — you stay on top of the fast-moving AI/LLM landscape and can assess and leverage relevant developments

* Experience building MCP servers or LLM tool integrations

* Familiarity with agentic orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar)

* Strong API design skills (REST, and ideally familiarity with protocol-level tooling)

* Hands-on experience with databases such as Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and vector databases

* Strong communication skills and clear, structured thinking

* Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or equivalent practical experience

Nice-to-haves

* Fintech exposure

* Comfortable with TypeScript and a solid understanding of frontend concepts (React/Next.js)

* DevOps experience — Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure

* Founding-experience - entrepreneurial drive, resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity

* Experience with big data technologies (e.g. Apache Spark) & data orchestration tools (e.g. Dagster)

What we offer

* Rare chance to play a leading role in a well-funded and fast-growing fintech startup

* You will build agentic systems that automate workflows that currently take financial analysts days to complete manually.

* Trajectory: hyper-growth + hard problems = exceptionally steep learning.

* People: Build with experts from Big Tech, Silicon Valley, Investment Banking, and HedgeFunds.

* Impact: ship to thousands → millions with real impact.

* Ownership: High responsibility from day one, flat hierarchies with quick decisions

* Competitive compensation – consisting of base salary + bonus + VSOP (depending on experience)

* Hybrid setup with modern Munich office + company apartment for relocation support, EGYM membership and much more to support your best work and life.
