AI, regulatory pressure, and a looming succession wave will determine which firms thrive — and which flounder — in the coming decade.</p><p>Thrivo Wealth Partners AG is a Swiss holding company based in Zug. Our model: partnering with founder-led independent wealth managers across the DACH region, helping them scale — organically and non-organically (via M&amp;A) — and providing shared technology infrastructure. We are the long-term partner for future-ready wealth managers.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The Team</strong></p><p>Christopher Kraft has accompanied numerous IWM transitions as an investment banker at Perella Weinberg Partners and in leading European wealth platforms. Felix Lobkowicz is a repeat founder — five companies, one IPO — and leads product and technology at Thrivo. Finn Weise leads capital and governance with over a decade of experience building fintechs and financial platforms, previously at Morgan Stanley and European VC funds. On the board: Sebastian Henrichs, former CEO of FNZ Bank Germany — the leading wealth platform in the industry.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Behind Thrivo</strong></p><p>Thrivo is backed by a circle of investors from the finance and fintech world — experienced operators, entrepreneurs, and family offices who understand this market and think long-term. A platform that promises long-term thinking to founders cannot itself be optimising for short-term returns.</p><p>The wealth management market in Germany and Switzerland is digitising — more slowly than other sectors, but with real momentum now. Thrivo is building the technology infrastructure that underpins this transformation: a platform for founder-led wealth managers that deploys compliance automation, AI-assisted processes, and modern data architecture in a way that until now has only been available to large institutions.</p><p>ThrivoOS is not another fintech dashboard. It is the operating system for a growing group of partner firms collectively managing several billion AUM. You build this — as the first technical full-time hire and the engineering lead.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The Role</strong></p><p>You own the technical leadership of ThrivoOS. You set the architecture, coordinate the freelance senior engineer, and are the engineering constant in a project that bridges complex regulatory requirements — MiFID II, WpHG, BaFin — with modern AI infrastructure.</p><p>You work directly with Felix Lobkowicz (CTO-in-function) on product vision and technical direction. The most important architectural decisions are yours. The architecture and stack have not been finalised — you will define them together with Felix and Tech advisors based on your experience and what is right for the platform.</p><p>This is one of the few roles in DACH fintech where technical depth, genuine entrepreneurial ownership, and real equity participation come together.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What you own</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Architecture &amp; Infrastructure</strong></p><p>– Design and build an event-sourced backend architecture — the structural foundation for regulatory-grade auditability under MiFID II and BaFin requirements</p><p>– Multi-tenant data architecture: one platform, many partner firms, strict data isolation and RBAC</p><p>– Batch data ingest pipeline from partner firm systems (custodian banks, PMS) — the Phase 1 data foundation</p><p>– Cloud infrastructure on AWS (Frankfurt region) — we use hyperscaler-grade tooling from day one</p><p><strong>Workflows &amp; AI</strong></p><p>– Advisory workflow engine — regulated advisory processes as structured, automated flows with compliance write-back (Jahresgespräch, KYC/AML as Phase 1 scope)</p><p>– AI integration: automated meeting briefings, Gesprächsprotokoll generation, and document assembly for advisors via Gemini/RAG pipeline</p><p>– Compliance infrastructure: PII anonymisation before any LLM call, encryption at rest, consent management — structural, not bolt-on</p><p><strong>Team &amp; culture</strong></p><p>– Coordinate the freelance senior full-stack engineer: architectural decisions, code quality, mutual peer review</p><p>– Technical point of contact for the product advisor and design partner advisors during pilot deployment</p><p>– Set the engineering culture from day one — we use agentic coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) as standard. We cover the cost.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What Thrivo offers</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Real equity participation</strong></p><p>Thrivo offers a VSOP participation in the Holding. Structure and terms in conversation.</p><p>Ownership from day one</p><p>As the founding engineer, you set architecture standards and engineering practices the team will carry for years. You are not executing tickets — you are building the platform.</p><p>First-class team</p><p>Direct collaboration with Felix Lobkowicz (5 consumer companies founded, one through IPO), Christopher Kraft (Perella Weinberg Partners, 50+ IWM transactions), Finn Weise (Morgan Stanley, VC) and Sebastian Henrichs (former CEO FNZ Bank Germany).</p><p>Compensation</p><p>We offer a competitive base salary and a meaningful VSOP participation in the Holding. Structure and exact terms in conversation.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What you bring</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><p>– 5–8+ years of backend engineering in production systems — the right profile depends on depth of architecture experience, not years alone</p><p>– Event Sourcing and CQRS in practice — you have built it, not just read about it</p><p>– Domain-Driven Design — bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events</p><p>– PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimisation, pgvector</p><p>– AWS or comparable hyperscaler — production deployment, IAM, VPC, managed services</p><p>– Experience in regulated environments — fintech, banking, or insurance</p><p>– Senior enough to make architectural decisions independently and coordinate a freelance engineer</p><p>– CET timezone — daily overlap for peer review and fast alignment is required</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What interests us additionally</strong></p><p>– Go, TypeScript, or Java — we care about architecture patterns (Event Sourcing, CQRS, DDD), not the language on your CV. Experience with Go or willingness to work in Go is a plus.</p><p>– Familiarity with MiFID II, WpIG, or FINMA regulatory requirements</p><p>– Experience with graph-based workflow engines or saga patterns</p><p>– German is a plus, not a requirement</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Who you are</strong></p><p>You have proven you can build complex systems. But you are not looking for the next job at a scale-up with 200 engineers where your work disappears into a microservice pipeline. You want to set the architecture, own the platform, and know that what you build is in production and making a real difference.</p><p>An early stage does not put you off — it attracts you, because you know the most important decisions are being made now. And you understand that equity in a platform that is positioning to be the market leader in a structurally underserved segment can be worth more than the next salary band.</p> </div>
