About the Company
A Boston-based financial intelligence platform that’s doing something genuinely different: not another reporting dashboard, but an ontology-driven intelligence layer that transforms fragmented ERP, CRM, and HR data into a clear, unified picture of profit, cost, and operational performance. Early-stage but well-funded, with a strong engineering culture and direct access to leadership.
The Role
You’ll be joining a lean, high-calibre engineering team building the backend infrastructure that powers a category-defining financial intelligence product. The core stack is Go, Python, and GCP – you’ll be working across Cloud Run, BigQuery, and Pub/Sub, helping to productionise financial models into scalable, API-driven services.
Frontend exposure is useful but not a requirement. This is primarily a backend and cloud role.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain scalable backend services in Go and Python
- Deploy and manage services on GCP, using Cloud Run, BigQuery, and Pub/Sub
- Contribute to the productionisation of financial intelligence models into API-driven services
- Implement robust data pipelines using batch/streaming architectures
- Work closely with data scientists and senior engineers to translate model outputs into platform features
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with a focus on long-term reliability
- Support security and authorisation workflows for enterprise-grade financial data
What You’ll Need
Essential
- Solid experience in Python and/or Go for backend service development
- Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, BigQuery, Pub/Sub or similar)
- Comfort working across data pipelines, APIs, and distributed systems
- Ability to operate with some ambiguity – this is a product-building environment, not a heavily specced one
Desirable
- Exposure to React or TypeScript (frontend work exists but isn’t the focus)
- Familiarity with DAG-based orchestration or streaming data concepts
- Any experience with AI/LLM integration or financial data systems
Benefits & Package
- Salary negotiable depending on experience
- Fully remote – work from anywhere in Northern Ireland
- Direct exposure to US-based leadership and product vision
- Small team, big scope – your work will ship and matter
- Opportunity to grow into a senior role as the platform scales
- Flexible working culture
