Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building AI-native operations infrastructure for private markets. This company is developing an intelligent automation platform that powers fund accounting, reporting, reconciliation, and treasury automation — connecting to data sources, reconciling documents and transactions, and preparing deliverables like journal entries and reporting packages, all without requiring firms to rip and replace their existing systems.

You'll be working at the intersection of enterprise-grade security, distributed systems, and AI-native workflows — with meaningful ownership from day one.
