About this role
Role Description
Our client is developing an enterprise-grade AI infrastructure platform for the financial services industry.

We are looking for a high-agency, self-directed software engineer with excellent engineering fundamentals.

Systems engineering fundamentals: Linux/server environments, networking basics, concurrency, resource utilization, reliability, profiling, and debugging. Sound software architecture and engineering judgment: maintainable code, testing, observability, deployment, and scalability. End-to-end ownership: independently scope, implement, validate, and ship features; communicate clearly and work directly with founders. Practical, effective use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar), with strong review and verification habits.
Requirements
Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI agents, agent observability/tracing, or AI memory systems (nice-to-have). Kubernetes, containers, cloud infrastructure, or infrastructure automation (nice-to-have). Go (used in parts of our CLI tooling) (nice-to-have). Frontend engineering with React and TypeScript; Node.js familiarity (nice-to-have).
