## Description

This is a hands-on, end-to-end technical delivery role at a pre-seed AI fintech startup building automation tooling for private market operations.

 * Collaborate directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and surface adoption barriers.
 * Convert client processes into AI-driven workflows on the platform, including fund accounting agents and reconciliation pipelines.
 * Build customer-tailored prototypes with rapid iteration, adjusting scope based on what you learn in the field.
 * Translate deployment insights into concrete product development feedback and roadmap input.
 * Develop reusable components and standardised approaches from recurring implementation patterns.
