Python Backend Engineer (Transcripts)

Quartr

Quartr is a software company serving the world of finance. Every day, leading companies and financial institutions worldwide use our products to research faster and understand deeper. For too long, markets have been obsessed with numbers. Everyone has access to the same quantitative data, while qualitative insights – the words, the signals, the nuance – have remained mostly in the shadows. We make those insights accessible, searchable, and actionable. Our products are used daily by some of the most sophisticated teams in finance and tech, including major hedge funds and Magnificent 7 companies, and over a million finance professionals have downloaded our mobile app. We're backed by some of the smartest minds in our industry and growing fast at a global scale, and we're still at the very beginning of what we expect to be a multi-decade journey. ABOUT THE DATA EXTRACTION TEAM Our Document Extraction team turns unstructured financial content into reliable, structured knowledge. We work with financial filings, earnings call slide decks and earnings call transcripts. The goal is not just to pull text off a page, but to understand what a document means, structure it cleanly, and produce knowledge that downstream teams and products can trust. We are looking for a Senior Engineer to own the extraction and structuring pipelines end to end. You will design the systems that ingest messy, real-world documents and output accurate, well-modeled data at scale. This is a hands-on engineering role with deep ownership, suited to someone who is equally comfortable building robust pipelines and reasoning about data quality. WHO YOU ARE * 5+ years of professional experience as a backend engineer with a focus on Python * Hands-on experience with NLP and large language models, including prompting, fine-tuning, or retrieval-based approaches. * Practical experience with document AI, OCR, or information extraction from PDFs and other unstructured formats. * Experience designing data schemas and building pipelines that produce structured, validated output. TECH * Knowledge of ETL processes and data engineering workflows for data ingestion * Solid backend architecture skills for creating scalable and maintainable systems * Experience working with AWS * Proficiency with Docker for managing and deploying backend services WHAT WE OFFER * Do your life's work: The world's leading finance professionals use Quartr daily. We do fewer things better and hold a very high bar for quality. * Join the foundational team: We're still at the very beginning of a multi-decade journey. You'll have a big influence on product, culture, and how we win. * Real ownership: We believe in shared success. Every team member gets equity exposure, so we all benefit from the value we create. * Meritocracy over hierarchy: You'll join a culture where the best idea wins. We value clear thinking, leave ego at the door, and obsess over the details. * Office culture with flexibility: Join us in one of our offices. We value being together, while also offering the flexibility to work from home when needed. * Compensation & well-being: We offer competitive salaries, benefits, and a generous wellness allowance to support your physical and mental health. We include occupational pension for all employees in Sweden. Note: We are not seeking assistance from consultants or recruitment agencies.

Anyfin

Anyfin is building the next generation of consumer finance. We’re profitable, scaling quickly, and now operating with a banking license which opens up a lot of technical complexity. We’re looking for a senior backend engineer with cloud experience who enjoys moving fast, taking real ownership, and building things that actually have an impact. If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading. Because honestly, it’s not a role for everyone. SMALL TEAM, HIGH RESPONSIBILITY We hire carefully. We’re not a company that grows by adding headcount everywhere, we grow by keeping the bar high and building a team where every person matters. This isn’t a place where you disappear into a big org. If you join, you’ll have real influence on what we build and how we build it. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Building, optimizing and scaling robust financial backend systems using Node.js and SQL (Postgres) * Working primarily in the backend while contributing to our cloud infrastructure, helping design and operate systems across networking, servers and database architectures to support scalable and reliable services. * Contributing to system architecture to ensure scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability of financial systems. * Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to shape both product direction and business strategy. * Sharing backend expertise with the team while promoting best practices, along with strong cloud and infrastructure competence. Our main stack is TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native running on Google Cloud Platform. HOW WE THINK ABOUT BUILDING We’re pragmatic. We like speed, but we also care about building things that last. AI isn’t a side tool here. It’s embedded in how we work helping engineers move faster, reduce friction and focus on solving meaningful problems. We’re looking for engineers who are curious about that shift and want to be part of it, rather than people who feel like good engineering means doing everything the hard way. No ego. Just good judgment and high output. YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU… * Have solid experience building backend systems with Node.js and working with cloud platforms such as GCP. * Care about craftsmanship, performance, and reliability in the systems you build. * Take responsibility naturally and don’t wait to be told what to do. * Enjoy messy problems and figuring things out as you go. * Like being in an ambitious and collaborative team. * Want to build and improve products, not just maintain. You’re comfortable with things like: * Strong background in backend development with Node.js and SQL databases (preferably Postgres). * Experience in designing, deploying and monitoring solutions on major cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS or Azure. * At least 5 years of professional experience, ideally in high-stakes environments like finance. * Passionate about solving complex backend problems with clean, pragmatic solutions. * Solid understanding of system design and architecture. * Bonus if you’ve worked with React, Python, Go, GraphQL, Kubernetes or DevOps with Github Actions. A FEW PRACTICAL NOTES * Stockholm based. * EU work authorization required. WHY ANYFIN? Because this is one of those moments where a company is about to level up: Banking license secured, expansion ahead and a lot to build. If you want to be part of a small, high-trust team doing meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you. Apply only if you want the responsibility that comes with real impact.
