Founding Backend Engineer

Located in midtown Manhattan and backed by top VCs Village Global and Third Prime, Termblocks is building the first agentic AI for the multi-trillion dollar U.S. Capital Markets. We have a core group of leading financial industry professionals, each with 15+ years of experience with deep insider knowledge of the financial markets and technology. Our three person engineering team has built an innovative product with product-market fit that we are looking to quickly scale and expand upon the features and functionality.

We’re looking for Founding Engineers who:

  • Are deeply curious and passionate about building vertically-integrated products that will directly impact and improve our customers lives.

  • Want to shape product decisions, core systems and drive technology stack decisions.

  • Enjoy experimenting with state-of-the-art AI models and developing and deploying a cutting edge, cloud-first application.
