Description
Compensation
The expected base pay range for this role is $150K – $245K, with additional compensation including equity and bonus.
How you'll make impact
You'll help design the backend foundations for T:0's intelligent finance systems, including scalable services, resilient APIs, and thoughtful data models that support agentic workflows, AI copilots, and real-time financial infrastructure.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building typed, production-grade APIs and services in Python using FastAPI and Pydantic.
- Developing resilient infrastructure primitives, including queues, retries, idempotency, observability, and backpressure handling.
- Working at the intersection of systems and AI, building feedback loops where product data continuously improves models and models improve system behaviour.
- Shipping platform foundations, including internal frameworks, SDKs, and tooling, that accelerate engineers across the organisation.
- Partnering closely with ML and product teams to productionise research-grade ideas into customer-facing systems.
- Helping define the architecture of an AI-native financial stack by designing software with AI as a first-class runtime.
What we're looking for
Essentials
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience with Python at scale.
- Deep knowledge of SQL and NoSQL database design.
- Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, or microservices.
- Familiarity with GCP services such as Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, and KMS.
- Strong understanding of security and compliance best practices.
- Experience designing and operating reliable, production-grade services.
- A passion for building the backend systems that power intelligent products.
Preferred
- Experience building agentic workflows, AI copilots, or AI-native products.
- Experience with financial systems, ledgers, payments, accounting, or other high-integrity domains.
- Experience building internal platforms, frameworks, SDKs, or developer tooling.
- Experience partnering closely with ML and product teams to productionize research or prototypes.
You'll thrive here if
- You're comfortable owning the roadmap yourself.
- You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
- You're excited by a category that hasn't been won yet, and want to be early enough to shape it.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity.
- You default to action.
