(*Note: This is a requirement for one of Uplers client - PE Report AI Company from UK)
What do you need for this opportunity
Must have skills required:
Aspose.Cells, ISO 27001, LangGraph, office.js, openpyxl, SOC 2, 01 Product Ownership, Async & Distributed Workloads, Cloud & DevOps, LLM/AI Product Engineering, PostgreSQL + Supabase, Python + FastAPI, React/Next.js, TypeScript
PE Report AI Company from UK is Looking for:
The role
- You will work side-by-side with the founder as the interim owner of the platform build: shaping the architecture, shipping daily, and carrying features end to end — Python engine, Next.js app, Excel add-in, and the infrastructure underneath all three.
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who is comfortable being the only engineer in the room: you will make pragmatic calls, hold a high bar where it matters (correctness of financial numbers is the product), and move quick everywhere else.
- Development here is AI-accelerated — you should be fluent working with AI coding tools and directing them well, and equally capable of reading, verifying, and hardening what they produce.
What You Will Build (3-month Arc)
Month 1 — production foundations
- Take the platform from local dev to deployed staging + production: containerise the FastAPI parsing/population service and the Next.js app, CI/CD with the existing test and eval suites as gates, secrets management, backups, monitoring and alerting.
- Authentication, organisations and multi-tenancy on Supabase/Postgres (RLS), so sponsors and portfolio companies each see exactly their own templates, data and questions.
- Harden the Excel add-in for real users: hosted task pane, sign-in from the pane, and centralised deployment via the Microsoft 365 admin centre.
Month 2 — scale the engine's operations
- Re-architect long-running work (template onboarding, populate runs) onto a proper queue/worker model with streamed progress, retries,
resumability and per-run cost caps — replacing the current in-process execution.
- Wire the evaluation suite into CI as a regression gate: every engine change is scored against the ground-truth labelled workbooks before it merges track fill accuracy, incorrect-write rate, LLM cost and latency budgets.
- Ship product surface with the founder: the review-question inbox, the template contract UX, onboarding visualisation, and the add-in fill experience.
Month 3 — pilot-ready.
- Support first sponsor pilots end to end: onboard their real templates, run their real data packs, close the loop on failures fast.
- Security posture for financial data: access controls, audit logging, data retention, and the groundwork for SOC 2.
- Reliability hardening, load and failure testing, and clean handover documentation for the permanent team.
Technical Requirements (must-have)
- Senior full-stack engineer (typically 5+ years) fluent in BOTH modern Python and TypeScript.
- Python: FastAPI, Pydantic, async patterns, and production service design comfortable in a large, test-covered codebase.
- TypeScript/React: Next.js App Router in production, component architecture, Tailwind.
- LLM product engineering: you have shipped features built on Anthropic/OpenAI APIs — prompt and context design, structured outputs, evaluation harnesses, cost control, and observability (LangSmith or equivalent). You know why ''''plausible but wrong'''' is the failure mode that matters.
- PostgreSQL depth: schema design, migrations, row-level security Supabase experience is a strong plus.
- Infrastructure ownership end to end: Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), and at least one ofAWS/GCP/Azure/Fly/Render taken to production, including monitoring and incident response.
- Async/long-running workloads: queues, workers,
streaming progress (SSE/WebSockets), idempotency and retries.
- Deep comfort with Excel as a data structure — formulas, references, formats, named ranges — and willingness to work at that level of detail daily.
- Evidence of 0→1 ownership: you have built and operated a real product with a very small team, and can show it.
Nice to have
- Office.js / Excel add-in development, or Aspose.Cells / openpyxl-class spreadsheet tooling.
- Private-equity or finance-adjacent domain: management accounts, flash reporting, KPI packs, consolidation.
- Agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph or similar) and multi-model routing.
- Design sensibility — the product aims at a Harvey/Legora-grade bar.
- Security/compliance groundwork for financial data (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
How We Work
- Directly with the founder, daily — short feedback loops, decisions made in hours, not weeks.
- AI-accelerated development as the default human judgment on architecture, correctness and taste as the differentiator.
- Correctness is sacred: the eval suite and the deterministic verification layer are the product''''s spine.
- Everything else is pragmatically fast.
- You will see the whole business, not a ticket queue: customer conversations, pilot feedback, roadmap trade-offs.
