Senior Backend Engineer - Dealops

About Dealops

Dealops is building the AI-powered revenue optimization and deal pricing platform that modern sales teams rely on to configure, quote, and approve deals with speed and precision. Today, 66% of pricing workflows happen in spreadsheets, costing enterprises millions in lost revenue. We’re fixing this.

Backed by $7M from General Catalyst, Pear VC, and operators from Stripe, OpenAI, and Slack, we’ve closed 5- and 6-figure contracts with companies like Plaid and Harvey just 75 days into launch. We're a 7-person team led by ex-Stripe operators, building the GTM Intelligence Platform of the future.

We’re looking for an experienced backend engineer to architect and scale the core systems behind the next-generation deal pricing platform. You’ll own critical backend components, including workflow orchestration, pricing engines, AI agent integration, and high-accuracy data infrastructure.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complexity, values correctness, and enjoys shaping deep technical foundations at an early-stage company.

• Architect core backend systems powering deal pricing, modeling, approvals, and workflow automation.
• Build scalable services in Type Script/Node + PostgreSQL to support complex quoting logic, multi-step approval workflows, and real-time decisioning.
• Design and extend the workflow engine used by Sales & Finance teams across different customers with highly customizable conditions.
• Work closely with Vinay (CTO) to define the long-term systems roadmap across integrations, agents, ingestion systems, and reliability.
• Integrate and product ionize AI Agents to blend deterministic systems with intelligent automation.
• Build admin tooling that leverages natural language and LLMs to reduce onboarding configuration time by 10x.
• Own the full lifecycle of features: design → architecture review → implementation → reliability.

• 5+ years backend engineering experience
• Strong proficiency with Type Script
• Strong SQL skills (Postgre
  
  SQL or similar)
• Experience building complex backend systems with high reliability requirements
• History of launching early-stage products end-to-end
• Comfortable working closely with customers + solving deeply technical product problems

• Experience with Express, NestJS, or similar frameworks
• Experience with event-driven systems or workflow engines
• Knowledge of AI agents, RAG, evaluation models, or production ML
• Experience designing internal tooling for high-accuracy workflows
• Experience as a tech lead, founding engineer, or working on a lean team

Transforming pricing from an art to a science is a technically complex, high-stakes problem with tons of room for technical innovation and creative problem-solving. What we are building is complex but you thrive in developing elegant solutions to complex problems. You want to break ground in creating highly grounded AI systems that don’t hallucinate and provide high degree of accuracy while making sales flows 10x faster.

As an early engineer, you'll own large pieces of the product and infrastructure from day one. Your work will have a direct and visible impact, shaping both our tech stack and broader product vision. You’ll also have many opportunities to make highly strategic decisions, not just in development but also in defining how pricing software evolves. You enjoy being an owner and are high agency with an bias for action.

Working in a startup means real, accelerated career growth. Whether you want to step into a tech lead role, drive product innovation, or architect major projects, you’ll be in a prime position to take on leadership as we scale.

As an early hire, you won’t just build the product—you’ll help define how we work together and what our company values become. This is an opportunity to create something truly special, both technically and culturally.
