The AI Operating System for Private Capital.

Capsa AI

Private capital funds have to find potential investments, research and analyse them thoroughly, monitor them over time, drive improvements, and decide when to buy and sell. They've got to see through the marketing. They've got to outbid the competition. And they've got to learn from every deal they do. Historically, these processes have run on people, we are building the AI Operating System that will run them in the future.

We're focused, ambitious, and obsessed with building a category-defining company. In the last 12 months we've grown ARR 15x, achieved product–market fit with leading multi-billion-dollar PE firms, and expanded across the US, UK, and Europe. Now we're doubling down: we've raised a large Series A from top-tier VC investors to scale the team. We're hiring hyper-talented people who want to work at the forefront of AI and revolutionise an industry.

At a glance

  • Role: Senior Fullstack Engineer

  • Location: London, UK (Hybrid, in-person 4 days per week)

  • Team: Engineering

  • Compensation: Top of market. Competitive base + OTE

 

The role

Own the systems behind an AI platform that the world's leading PE firms run their investment processes on. You'll design and build the backend that makes it all work: agentic workflows, document ingestion and search at scale, streaming execution, and the APIs and data models that power the product. You'll take features from ideation to production, measure their impact, and own them in operation.

The opportunity

  • Ownership: You'll own whole systems end to end. You'll make the architecture calls, ship them, and operate them.

  • Growth: You'll work across the entire stack, alongside a team of startup veterans, and take on real responsibility.

  • Upside: You'll receive meaningful equity in a company that grew 15x last year.

  • Impact: You'll leave an indelible mark on an industry responsible for ~7% of US GDP.

Recent projects include

  • Agent Harness: Our own agent harness built on a custom, streaming-first graph execution framework.

  • Code Execution Framework: Our own code execution framework that can be interrupted and resumed mid-execution for programmatic tool calling.

  • Document Ingestion, Indexing, and Search: A VLM-based OCR pipeline, a self-hosted search cluster, and domain-aware search strategies.

  • Citations: An end-to-end approach to citation, enabling users to quickly review supporting documentation for any AI generated statement.

  • Document Authoring: Agent tooling and a document editor supporting advanced collaborative authoring across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and email.

Track record

  • You’ve worked in a high performance environment. Five or more years building production backend systems at a venture-backed startup or top tech firm, owning services and systems end-to-end.

  • You've shipped things that mattered. Distributed systems, data pipelines, or platform services taken from design to production at scale, with impact you can speak to.

  • Expertise with our stack. Python, FastAPI, Postgres, OpenSearch, RabbitMQ, Kafka, LLMs, Agents.

  • Domain curiosity. You go deep on the problem. You care about what the product does for the person using it, and that shows in how you build.

  • Comfortable at pace. Fast-moving environments are where you do your best work.

How you operate

  • Accountable: You take responsibility for what you build and make sure it has a positive impact on our customers and the team.

  • Thoughtful: You think deeply about the problems you're solving and the code you're submitting. You use AI to enhance your thinking, not to outsource it.

  • Pragmatic: You accept that time is limited and information is incomplete. You make progress regardless, and adjust as we learn more.

We'd like to meet you. Initial conversations are direct and substantive, going deep on the work, the team, and what you'd own in the first six months.
