Overview
Confidential Client is seeking a talented Full Stack Engineer to work at the intersection of software engineering, venture capital, and AI. This mid-senior, full-time engineering role will design and ship internal platforms that power investment decisions, technical diligence, and portfolio support. You will partner with investors, founders, and operators to build production-grade tools that create operational advantages and accelerate deal-making.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build internal platforms — proprietary sourcing tools, CRM systems, portfolio management apps, and AI-driven workflows.
- Partner with investment professionals to evaluate emerging technologies and perform technical diligence on prospective investments.
- Rapidly prototype and deploy features that improve how teams source opportunities, assess companies, and support portfolio businesses.
- Build AI-driven tools and automation to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
- Collaborate directly with founders and engineering leaders to solve technical challenges and surface exceptional talent.
- Maintain production systems using modern cloud infrastructure and best practices for reliability and security.
Qualifications
- 2–5 years of professional full-stack software engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript.
- Experience building production-grade applications on modern cloud platforms (GCP preferred).

- Exceptional problem-solving skills and a bias toward action.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable engaging technical founders and senior business leaders.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent demonstrated technical excellence.
Preferred Qualifications

- Public GitHub projects, open-source contributions, or a portfolio of personal software projects.
- Familiarity with machine learning tooling, MLOps patterns, or generative AI integrations.
- Interest or experience in startups, venture capital, and early-stage technology evaluation.
Why This Opportunity?

You’ll work alongside experienced investors and founders while building technology that meaningfully influences where capital is deployed and how portfolio companies scale. This role is an excellent fit if you want high ownership, fast learning, and frequent exposure to cutting-edge technologies.
