Employer job description
From Raydar's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About the Company
Our client is a seed-stage AI platform for private markets investors, built for private credit, private equity and commercial banking. It turns dense, unstructured deal materials into auditable, investment-grade analysis and memos in minutes, and teams using it evaluate deals more than 60% faster. Its customers include commercial banks and private credit funds. It has raised more than $29M from top investors, has roughly 25 to 35 employees and has an AI-native, lean culture.
Revenue is growing faster than its five-person engineering team, so engineering hiring is the top priority.
About the Role
Own large parts of the AI platform end to end as an AI-native, full-stack generalist who makes every engineer around you better.
What You Will Do
- Build hands-on across the full stack, from frontend and backend to database migrations, using AI agents to write and review the code.
- Own large product areas end to end, such as the agent that builds investment-grade presentations and memos for finance teams.
- Write technical design docs by hand and spend 10 to 20 percent of your time reviewing other engineers' designs and code.
- Raise the bar on architecture, code quality and engineering practice across the team.
- Work directly with customers, sales, customer success and product to turn the needs of finance professionals into shipped features.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For
- Eight or more years of software engineering experience (seven is the absolute minimum), with clear promotions and progression.
- A degree in computer science or an engineering field, and strong pedigree at top technology companies or startups, ideally both big tech and startup.
- Truly AI-native: you build with coding agents day to day.
- A proven record as a force multiplier, having led a product pillar or large infrastructure project and made senior engineers better.
- Full-stack production experience with React or Next.js and Python or Node.js, Postgres and background job systems, and practical SOC 2 compliance experience.
- A clear, specific reason for wanting an early-stage startup.
