artafinance - Forward Deployed Engineer
Requirements
• You've been the technical person in front of a customer or partner — not supporting someone else's meeting, but the one they direct questions at • Able to explain a technical trade-off to a business stakeholder and a technical one in the same meeting • Sound judgment about what to commit to under pressure, and comfortable saying no to a partner without damaging the relationship • Comfortable with ambiguity, incomplete specs, and systems you can't see all of • Comfortable being based at a partner site, and open to occasional travel • And you can build • At least 5 years of backend software development experience, with strong proficiency in Python (or similar) • Deep understanding of distributed systems, RESTful and/or gRPC APIs, microservices, and database systems (SQL and NoSQL) • Strong on integration work: APIs, data modeling, authentication, moving data between systems and organisations • Experience designing for reliability, performance, and security in production environments • Fluency with AI coding tools and a track record of using them to materially raise your output and code quality • Experience building with LLMs and/or agent frameworks (tool use, function calling, MCP, evals) or strong interest and aptitude to ramp up quickly • Prior experience in trading platforms, brokerage systems, or financial infrastructure is a big plus, but not a must
Responsibilities
• Partner engagement • Be the technical point of contact for a partner's engineering and product teams — the person they work with day to day on design questions and debugging across the system boundary • Understand how the partner operates and what systems they run on, well enough to design against constraints they haven't articulated • Advise partners on integration and implementation approaches, drawing on your technical expertise and knowledge of the wealth management industry • Document integration decisions and learnings for future engagements • Bring partner signal back to Platform and Product, distinguishing one partner's preference from a pattern worth building for • Design, develop, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data pipelines for partner use cases on Arta's wealth management platform • Make architectural decisions on system design, data modeling, service boundaries, and infrastructure • Write clean, well-tested, observable code, and use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) as a core part of your daily workflow to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality • Build and integrate LLM and agent-powered backend capabilities where they unlock product value (e.g., automated workflows, intelligent data processing, agent-driven user experiences) • Build reliable, scalable services that integrate with third-party financial systems, including workflow orchestration (Temporal), monitoring and evals, and participation in on-call and incident response
Benefits
• Robust health insurance offering for you and your family • 20 weeks of parental leave • 15 days PTO annually plus national and company holidays • Up to SG$75 per month reimbursement for internet
