Founding Engineer

About Odin

Odin is building the investment infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should know how to put it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital so that anyone anywhere can back the companies and ideas they believe in.

Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms - think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legal structuring and investor onboarding to KYC/AML payments tax reporting and exits.

Were already trusted by over 10000 angels VCs and founders. We administer over $500m in assets covering investments from pre-seed to series E. This includes household names like ElevenLabs OpenAI SpaceX xAI Anduril etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors.

The Role

This is a founding engineering role for someone entrepreneurial who has already played a meaningful role in building a business and is ready to do it again.

• Your responsibility is to radically increase the companys output using AI and strong systems thinking. You take ambiguous priorities interrogate them until they make sense and turn them into shipped outcomes with no surprises.

• Youll ship critical product features yourself. You move quickly understand the product deeply and deliver with precision.

• Youll set a very high technical and talent bar. You know what great looks like because youve operated there you can tell the difference between genuine complexity and unnecessary drag and you raise standards in a way others can follow.

• You operate with founder-level ownership and intensity. Shipping the wrong thing missing obvious edge cases or letting issues linger isnt acceptable. When something breaks you fix it quickly understand why and prevent it from happening again.

The kind of person who thrives here

The right person is intense in the best way: action-oriented curious direct and embarrassed by slow delivery. You dont disagree and commit while still confused. You ask questions until it genuinely makes sense and you expect the same standard from the team.

Youre open-minded without being passive. You can debate hard problems without ego change your mind when the reasoning is better and be clear when it isnt. Youre honest easy to work with under pressure and you raise the bar simply by how you operate.

Bottom line

This role helps shape how engineering grows at Odin. Youll be part of the team setting the tone for how decisions are made how trade-offs are handled how incidents are treated and how quickly the team moves when something matters.
