Translucent is building AI-powered infrastructure for accounting firms. We aggregate transaction-level data from Xero and QuickBooks, then turn it into dashboards, workflows, and tools that accountants actually use daily.

We're a small team (9 people), venture-backed, moving fast. Our backend processes financial data for thousands of companies. We need someone who can own systems, not just tickets.

What you'll work on:

• Data ingestion pipelines (Kafka) transforming raw accounting data into queryable formats
• API design and performance for internal services and external integrations
• PostgreSQL and ClickHouse: schema design, query optimisation, scaling
• Infrastructure for AI workflows: RAG pipelines, embeddings, schema validation

We've just come through an intense period of R&D, redesigning and rebuilding our product from the ground up. If you thrive in that kind of environment - shipping fast, minimal process, smart people - and want to be part of what comes next, let's talk. If you need clear requirements and dedicated QA to feel comfortable, this probably isn't the right fit.
