Who you are
3–6 years of backend engineering experience with TypeScript / Node.js
Solid API design skills — you've built and maintained production APIs and know how to integrate with external systems
Cloud experience — you've worked with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, S3) in a production environment
Database proficiency — you're comfortable with SQL (Postgres or similar) and have some exposure to NoSQL stores
A structured approach to problem-solving — you think clearly about system design and trade-offs
Strong collaboration skills — you communicate well across engineering, product, and design
Experience with Node.js frameworks like NestJS or Express
Familiarity with LangChain or other LLM/AI frameworks — if you haven't used these yet but are eager to learn, that counts too
Hands-on experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code tooling
Experience with observability platforms like Datadog (metrics, tracing, alerting)
Exposure to DynamoDB or other NoSQL databases at scale
Experience with distributed or event-driven architectures (SNS, SQS, etc.)
Interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, or compliance — though we're happy to bring you up to speed
If this role excites you but your experience doesn't perfectly match every bullet point, we'd still love to hear from you. We value curiosity, willingness to learn, and diverse perspectives just as much as specific tool experience

Our Automation Forge team is at the centre of that work - designing the backend systems and AI integrations behind Elliptic's copilot that helps investigators trace fund flows, spot patterns, and respond to risk in real time
We're looking for a backend-focused Software Engineer to help us design and build the APIs, workflows, and services that make this possible
As a Software Engineer on the Automation Forge team, you will help design and deliver scalable, reliable services that power Elliptic’s copilot and other AI‑driven features
You’ll partner with product managers, web engineers and your engineering lead to turn complex blockchain data into intelligent, user‑friendly experiences that help compliance teams trace fund flows, uncover deeper patterns, and respond to risk with greater speed and confidence
Working collaboratively across disciplines, you’ll contribute to impactful features and continuously improve quality, reliability, and usability across the platform
Through this work, you’ll play an essential role in advancing Elliptic’s mission to make crypto markets safer, more transparent, and more efficient
Design, build, and maintain backend services and event-driven systems using TypeScript and Node.js
Develop APIs and workflows that integrate AI and LLM frameworks to power Elliptic's copilot and other intelligent features
Design, optimise, and query data models across relational and NoSQL databases
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features from concept through to production
Take part in technical design reviews, planning sessions, and code reviews to continuously improve system quality
Contribute to infrastructure and observability practices alongside the team — you won't own this alone, but you'll be expected to care about how your services run in production
