AI MICROSERVICES - Building, deploying, and testing agentic microservices that convert natural language / free-text queries into deterministic filters / permalinks. - Modernizing Fundable MCP to leverage updated API routes and implement customer-scoped authentication and auditable credit charging. WORKFLOW BUILDER Build Fundable’s workflow product end to end, similar to n8n, so customers can create recurring automations using Fundable data. - Architecture design: work with founders to define the workflow schema, execution model, and deployment architecture. - Implementation and deployment: build scheduling, execution, persistence, retries, deduplication, and integration suite. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Strong backend engineering experience building production systems from scratch. - Strong TypeScript/Node.js or Python skills, plus SQL and Postgres
