Senior Engineering Team — Financial Intelligence Platform (5 Roles | Long-Term) Description: I am building a global financial intelligence platform that maps ownership structures and detects hidden relationships across companies, people, assets, and jurisdictions — think Palantir-level data infrastructure for AML, KYC, and entity resolution. This is a serious, long-term build. I am not looking for people to start coding. I am looking for engineers who can design their layer correctly first, then execute against a locked blueprint. I have five open roles. Apply for the one that matches your strongest skillset. THE PLATFORM STACK AWS (VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, ECS/EKS, KMS) · PostgreSQL · Neo4j or Neptune · OpenSearch · FastAPI or NestJS · React / [login to view URL] · Airflow or Prefect · Docker · GitHub Actions · Kafka or SQS OPEN ROLES 1 — Backend Engineer (×2) Build the core API layer, service architecture, and data access patterns. FastAPI or NestJS. Must have experience with multi-service architectures and RBAC. Performance targets: search under 1.5 seconds, 500 concurrent users. 2 — Data Engineer Design and build the global data ingestion and normalization pipeline. Multiple source types: APIs, scraping, file ingestion, document parsing. Must handle messy real-world data at scale. Airflow or Prefect. Experience with entity normalization (names, addresses, jurisdictions) strongly preferred. 3 — Frontend Engineer React / Next.js. Building investigative intelligence interfaces — graph visualizations, search UX, entity profile pages, risk dashboards. Must be comfortable consuming complex API schemas. Design sensibility matters; this is not a CRUD interface. 4 — DevOps Engineer AWS infrastructure execution. ECS/EKS deployment, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, Docker, monitoring, secrets management (KMS), environment management across dev/staging/prod. Must be able to work against an architecture blueprint without hand-holding. HOW THIS ENGAGEMENT WORKS ∙ Written scope is locked before sprint 1. No ambiguity. ∙ Each engineer owns one subsystem. Ownership is explicit. ∙ 1-week sprints. Friday demos are mandatory — working software, not status updates. ∙ Definition of done: code reviewed, unit tested, 80%+ coverage, deployed to staging, demoed live. ∙ This is a long-term engagement for the right people. I am not running a one-time project. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IN YOUR APPLICATION Do not send a generic proposal. Answer these three questions: 1. Which role are you applying for? 2. What is one architectural decision you would make for that layer, and why? 3. What is a relevant system you have built that is closest to this? Applications without answers to these three questions will not be reviewed. PREFERRED LOCATIONS Eastern Europe · Argentina · Brazil · Southeast Asia ENGAGEMENT TYPE Hourly or milestone-based. Open to discussion based on role. START Immediate for the right candidates.

Hello, I am excited to apply for the Backend Engineer role. I understand you’re building a global financial intelligence platform to map ownership and detect hidden relationships for AML/KYC, with a strict, blueprint-driven, long-term engagement. My approach is to first lock the architectural layer for the core API and data access, define service boundaries, RBAC, and resilient data models, then outline ingestion, normalization, and graph integration plans that scale to multi-million-record datasets. I’ll design a robust, testable API surface (FastAPI or NestJS) with clear data access patterns, a multi-service orchestration strategy, and performance targets (sub-1.5s searches, 500 concurrent users). I’ll pair this with secure, observable infrastructure and a reusable blueprint that the team can execute against in sprint 1 and beyond. Which role are you applying for? What technical questions should I ask to align on the blueprint, data governance, and phased delivery, as well as integration with OpenSearch, Neo4j/Neptune, and Kafka/SQS? Thanks,

I am applying for the Backend Engineer role. For this layer, I would implement a modular service architecture with FastAPI microservices, each handling a distinct domain (entities, ownership, relationships) with clearly defined RBAC, to ensure performance and maintainability under high concurrent load. In a previous project, I built a multi-service analytics platform that ingested financial and corporate data, normalized relationships across entities, and served sub-second search results via PostgreSQL and Neo4j, similar to the objectives here. I am confident in executing against a locked blueprint while delivering clean, unit-tested, and production-ready code on a sprint cadence.

Hi, I’m a senior backend engineer experienced in building scalable APIs and backend systems, and I’ve worked extensively with US-based teams in async environments. 1. Role: Backend Engineer. 2. Architectural decision: I would structure the backend as a FastAPI-based service layer with separate services for ingestion, entity processing, and search. Communication between services would run through queues such as Kafka or SQS so heavy data ingestion and normalization workloads do not impact API response times and the system can scale independently. 3. Relevant system: I’ve built backend systems integrating multiple APIs and data sources for US-based platforms, including work for ZigSig (California) and SmartEngage, focusing on REST APIs, data processing, and scalable backend architecture. I also currently manage backend integrations and infrastructure for santanaleathercare.com. Best, Yuda

Hi there I’m applying for the Backend Engineer role. For a financial intelligence platform that maps ownership structures and hidden relationships across companies, people, and assets, the most critical architectural decision is separating the query layer from the ingestion and normalization pipeline so investigative search remains consistently fast even while large datasets are being processed. I would structure the backend using a service-oriented API layer built with FastAPI or NestJS, where entity data and graph relationships are accessed through optimized query services connected to PostgreSQL and a graph database such as Neo4j. This approach allows complex relationship queries and entity resolution to remain efficient while maintaining strict RBAC and auditability. My process is simple. First review the locked architecture blueprint and define the API boundaries, service responsibilities, and data access patterns. Then implement the backend services responsible for entity queries, relationship traversal, and secure API access. Finally validate performance targets and ensure the service integrates cleanly with the ingestion pipeline and investigative interface. Once the full subsystem scope is confirmed, I will provide the exact timeline and delivery estimate. If this aligns with your expectations, let’s discuss the details in private chat.

Hello, I am applying for the Backend Engineer role. I specialize in designing scalable API architectures using Python and FastAPI with PostgreSQL-based systems. My focus is building structured service layers, efficient data access patterns, and secure RBAC frameworks that support high-concurrency applications and investigative data workflows. One architectural decision I would implement is a service-oriented API layer using FastAPI with PostgreSQL for relational integrity and Neo4j for relationship mapping. This hybrid model allows efficient transactional queries while enabling fast graph traversal for entity relationships, which is essential for ownership mapping and hidden connection discovery. I have worked on data-heavy systems where structured APIs consumed normalized datasets and supported search-driven interfaces with strict performance targets. My approach emphasizes clean service boundaries, optimized indexing strategies, and asynchronous processing so the platform can maintain sub-second search performance even with complex relationship queries.

Drawing from my extensive experience leading a highly skilled team of over 50 developers, our firm is extremely adept at tackling complex projects such as developing financial intelligence platforms. To this effect, we are particularly proficient at utilizing the relevant technologies you requested, such as AWS, PostgreSQL, Docker, and GitHub Actions. As for architectural decisions, I believe in layering and abstracting the core API to promote modularity and reusability. This design pattern improves scalability and makes an immense difference when dealing with multi-service architectures, as it maximizes efficiency and streamlines debugging processes. On a previous project focusing on normalization of messy real-world data, we designed and built a robust data ingestion pipeline for healthcare records using Airflow. We leveraged the power of Apache Avro for schema-based data serialization enabling us to effectively normalize patient data across multiple sources including APIs, file ingestion, and document parsing. This system's core functionality aligns with your requirement of handling complex data pipelines; making our case a strong match. Thanks

This is my speciality - DevOps Engineer for designing secure, scalable AWS-based platforms. Hello, I'm Iosif Peterfi, a Senior Systems & Security Engineer with 15 years building resilient blueprints before code. I'm applying for the DevOps Engineer role to lock in a blueprint-driven, secure AWS layer for your financial intelligence platform. I can start right away. Approach: I'd start with a locked, multi-account AWS blueprint: VPCs per environment, IAM RBAC with service accounts (IRSA where EKS is used), KMS-backed secrets, and a dedicated data plane for S3/RDS/OpenSearch. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform + Ansible) plus GitHub Actions CI/CD, with GitOps for deployments to ECS/EKS. I'd set up centralized logging/monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK stack) and robust backups/DR, TLS, and least-privilege policies. The design would separate control/data planes, enable zero-trust patterns, and include validation tests for drift, security baselines, and compliance (CIS/ISO27001). I'll also integrate data-source migrations and automation hooks (Airflow or Prefect) to validate pipelines before production runs. This aligns with your stack: AWS services, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, FastAPI/NestJS, React, Docker, and Kafka/SQS. Relevant experience: I've led Enterprise DevOps & governance for the Max Planck Digital Library and built privacy-by-design compute infrastructure (Ethernity Cloud) - with secure CI/CD, IaC, and RBAC at scale. Check my profile for examples.

Spotted that you're not looking for code-first people—you need architects who lock the blueprint before touching keyboard. I've designed entity resolution systems for compliance platforms, most recently building relationship mapping across 2M+ corporate records with sub-second query latency. Which layer are you staffing first, the graph store, the entity matching engine, or the compliance workflow layer—that shapes how I'd approach the design phase.

Hi, I am applying for the Backend Engineer role. For the core API architecture, I would implement a modular service layer using FastAPI with clearly separated domains for identity resolution, entity relationships, and search services. I would enforce RBAC at the API gateway and service layer using token based authentication with fine grained permission checks. This structure keeps services independently scalable while ensuring consistent authorization logic across the platform. For search performance under 1.5 seconds with concurrent users, I would combine PostgreSQL for transactional integrity with OpenSearch for entity indexing and relationship queries. A relevant system I built was a data intelligence platform that aggregated structured and unstructured records from multiple sources, normalized entities, and exposed them through API driven services. The system included data pipelines, search indexing, and investigative dashboards where users could explore relationships across entities and datasets. I am comfortable working within defined architecture blueprints, participating in structured sprint cycles, and delivering production ready services with proper testing and CI workflows. Best, Justin

Hi, Palantir-level financial intelligence infrastructure demands engineers who design before they code — and that's exactly the discipline I bring. I'm applying for the Backend Engineer role. My architectural decision: implement RBAC at the API gateway layer using JWT claims with service-level policy enforcement, keeping authorization logic decoupled from business logic for clean auditability across jurisdictions. Closest relevant build: a multi-service AI-powered data platform with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, complex entity relationships, and sub-second search performance under concurrent load. Ownership-driven, sprint-focused, and ready to demo working software every Friday.
