The posting

We're looking for a Software Engineer with deep expertise in backend to help develop the next-generation AI platform for market due diligence. You'll architect the AI-powered engine that orchestrates autonomous research agents and voice AI pipelines to create the next-generation of market reports for investment professionals in Private Equity, Hedge Funds, Private Credit, and Corporate M&A.

About DiligenceSquared

DiligenceSquared is the AI-native consulting firm. We deliver investment-grade market research and commercial due diligence, powered by AI agents and led by experienced consultants. Our founding team brings deep experience from Blackstone and BCG, and we're backed by Y Combinator and Relentless. Our clients include 5 of the 10 largest private equity firms in the world and represent more than $3T in combined AUM.

What you will do:

- Build new product features and experiences end-to-end, everything from database models to API endpoints, and integrating them with UI components for our web and AI Voice Agent Application

- Design and build new AI-powered modules from scratch (e.g., market sizing, competitive analysis) that become core capabilities of our research platform

- Build and own product foundations (AI agent orchestration, voice AI pipelines, app and API performance, intelligent automations)

- Architect scalable backend services with complex async processing and background task orchestration

- Apply learnings from each project into the product, so we're 1% better everyday (Law of Compounding is real. After all, we are founded by investment professionals)

Qualifications:

- 3+ years of professional Python backend experience

- Strong expertise building production APIs (FastAPI, Django, or similar)

- Experience building agentic systems with LLM platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar)

- Deep hands-on experience with LLMs in production - building reliable agentic systems, not just API calls

- Experience with PostgreSQL and SQL database design

- Understanding of async programming, job queues, and distributed systems

- Experience with background task orchestration and async processing workflows

Bonus:

- Experience with Anthropic Claude API and Agent SDK

- Familiarity with agent orchestration frameworks

- Background in AI/ML systems or voice AI

- Familiarity with vector databases and semantic search (pg_vector, etc.)

- Experience with Supabase or similar Backend-as-a-Service platforms

- Previous startup experience

Who you are:

- Obsess over system design and think deeply about technical trade-offs

- Take pride in your code and want to work with others who do the same

- Act with Urgency so we can empower you with Agency

- Pay high attention to detail and are curious about how great products work

- Feel discomfort when things don't move as fast as you feel they should

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
