## About the Role

* You're proactive and hands-on - someone who takes initiative, figures things out, and keeps things moving.
 * You learn and adapt quickly - someone who approaches problems with creativity and energy, and is resourceful, adaptable and excited by tough challenges.
 * You're customer-oriented - whether designing new features, data ingestion pipelines or building robust APIs, you keep institutional investors in mind and focus on creating reliable, scalable systems that deliver clean, auditable data and delightful speed/accuracy.
 * You're collaborative - someone who values transparency, good communication, and knows that the best outcomes come from working well with others.
 * You're experienced and thoughtful - 10+ YOE in backend engineering using Python. You have strong technical leadership experience, including architecting complex systems, mentoring engineers, and driving best practices in fast-paced or entrepreneurial environments. Bonus points if you've contributed to open source or worked with AI/ML integrations.

## Description

* You'll build and lead - data models, core backend infrastructure and services, as well as ship out new features, in Python - owning scalable APIs, robust data ingestion pipelines that pull documents from dozens of private market portals, event-driven processing systems, and integrations that feed our proprietary AI extraction engine. You'll set technical direction and make high-impact architectural decisions.
 * You'll brainstorm - We're not looking for someone to just take tickets-we want you in the room helping us shape product direction and tech strategy.
 * You'll work with clients - From pitching customers, to designing features, to soliciting feedback, you'll do some non-engineering work. We believe in all-rounded team members.
 * You'll champion best practices and guide others - As a B2B SaaS platform, our technology needs to be secure, robust and scalable. You'll help define and maintain standards, mentor engineers and help build a high-performing backend team as we grow.
