Principal Backend & Due Diligence Engineer

This profile describes an individual with close to four decades of experience in making computers obey, including a recent stint as a developing CTO/Founder in a startup-like environment. They are seeking new opportunities and offer expertise in risk-averse, compliant systems and product development, combining business acumen with experience in public sector organizations. They are strongest on the backend but comfortable with interfaces, excelling in data wrangling and message passing. They are eager to learn new programming languages and complex regulations. A significant portion of their work involves legacy code, including managing large codebases (2 MLOC), integrating parts of acquired products, and providing clear, non-technical explanations and documentation for juniors. They are a native Swedish speaker, fluent in English, and willing to achieve fluency in German or Spanish. Described as easy-going and solution-oriented, they have experience working with lawyers, government, and profitable B2B customers. They are particularly interested in opportunities to build a business around software due diligence for investors, creditors, or bankruptcy lawyers, an area they have pursued previously but lacked the organizational support for stable profitability. They are located in Sweden, open to full remote work, and not willing to relocate.
