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.

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
