Software Engineer: Back-End (Data)

FinChat is revolutionizing the financial data landscape in the AI era. Starting from bootstrapped beginnings, we've evolved into a venture-backed success story with over 300,000 users and growing enterprise partnerships. We're seeking exceptional engineers to join our founding team as we scale.

The role focuses on developing our proprietary data technology, working with both data aggregation and API distribution. You'll be at the intersection of financial data and cutting-edge AI technology, contributing to our data API offerings. This position offers a unique opportunity to work with a tight-knit team without bureaucracy, while having significant impact on the company's growth.

As a Backend Data Engineer, you'll need to be a high-performer who can write efficient code quickly. Your expertise should span data parsing, database management, API development, and handling both structured and unstructured data. A strong foundation in Python is essential, and experience with our tech stack (React, Node, Next.js, Cloudflare, Firestore, Firebase, SQL) is valuable.

What makes this role unique is our focus on financial technology. We're building a platform by investors, for investors, so your interest or experience in finance and investing will be crucial. You'll be working with advanced data and financial concepts, leveraging AI technologies, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs).

The compensation package is competitive ($80,000-$220,000 + equity), and we offer benefits including unlimited vacation, dental, vision, and massage coverage. This is a remote-first position with occasional in-person work in downtown Toronto.
