About Avantos
Avantos is building the AI-native operating system for financial services — transforming fragmented data into a single, intelligent system that powers workflows, automation, and decision-making.
We’re a product-led, fast-moving team at the intersection of AI, fintech, and modern infrastructure.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Data & Platform Engineer to build the data and core platform and infrastructure layer that powers our AI systems.
This is not just about pipelines — it’s about creating the systems, tooling, and abstractions that enable engineers and AI workflows to move fast, safely, and reliably.
What You’ll Do
-
Design and implement core backend systems and integrations that power the product.
-
Design and build our data platform (orchestration, pipelines, developer workflows)
-
Create scalable systems for data ingestion, transformation, and access
-
Design data models and APIs that won’t collapse under growth.
-
Make sane decisions about schemas, indexes, migrations, and performance.
-
Own infrastructure for data + AI workloads (containers, orchestration, cloud services)
-
Enable self-serve data workflows for engineering and product teams
-
Improve observability, reliability, and performance across the data stack
-
Support AI/ML systems (embeddings, vector data, model pipelines)
-
Build tooling for document processing, metadata, and normalization
What We’re Looking For
-
7+ years in data engineering, platform engineering, or backend infrastructure
-
A track record of shipping and owning production systems.
-
Strong systems thinking (not just pipelines — platform mindset)
-
Backend system design and API design
-
Data modeling and relational databases
-
Performance, reliability, and failure modes
-
-
Proficiency in Golang, SQL, Terraform, AWS
-
Comfort in a fast-moving startup environment
Bonus
-
LLMs / RAG, vector search, fintech or regulated systems
-
Have startup or early-stage experience.
Why Join
-
Build the foundation layer of an AI-native product
-
High ownership + direct impact
-
Work where data, platform, and AI converge
