Thrivo Wealth Partners - Founding Engineer / Lead Architect

• – 5–8+ years of backend engineering in production systems — the right profile depends on depth of architecture experience, not years alone • – Event Sourcing and CQRS in practice — you have built it, not just read about it • – Domain-Driven Design — bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events • – PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimisation, pgvector • – AWS or comparable hyperscaler — production deployment, IAM, VPC, managed services • – Experience in regulated environments — fintech, banking, or insurance • – Senior enough to make architectural decisions independently and coordinate a freelance engineer • – CET timezone — daily overlap for peer review and fast alignment is required • What interests us additionally • – Go, TypeScript, or Java — we care about architecture patterns (Event Sourcing, CQRS, DDD), not the language on your CV. Experience with Go or willingness to work in Go is a plus. • – Familiarity with MiFID II, WpIG, or FINMA regulatory requirements • – Experience with graph-based workflow engines or saga patterns • – German is a plus, not a requirement • You have proven you can build complex systems. But you are not looking for the next job at a scale-up with 200 engineers where your work disappears into a microservice pipeline. You want to set the architecture, own the platform, and know that what you build is in production and making a real difference. • An early stage does not put you off — it attracts you, because you know the most important decisions are being made now. And you understand that equity in a platform that is positioning to be the market leader in a structurally underserved segment can be worth more than the next salary band.
