About
VC-backed fintech building internet-native debt capital markets. The platform automates asset-backed debt facility operations by digitising credit agreements, integrating live data sources and using smart contracts to automate capital and asset flows. Around thirty facilities are live across BNPL, trade finance, real estate and consumer lending.
The Role
Join a new Forward Deployed Engineering team working alongside a 9-person Product Engineering team. You own the path from signed facility to a deal running in production: deal schemas, eligibility rules, borrowing base, covenants, cash controls, reporting and on-chain transaction builders. You interrogate functional specs, build and reconcile client data ingestion, run client working sessions with an advisory posture, and hand over to Operations with runbooks so deals run without you.
Requirements
5+ years software engineering; clean separation of business logic and I/O (hexagonal architecture)
Production Python: FastAPI, Pydantic, PostgreSQL, AWS
End-to-end delivery ownership
Direct client-facing technical experience
Fluency with messy real-world data, SQL and reconciliations
API integration and file pipeline experience
Practical judgement with AI-assisted development
Strong written and spoken English
Bonus
Domain knowledge in lending, payments, private credit or treasury.
