We’re looking for a **founding engineer** to own and build out the **data platform** powering Converge.
Right now we are **just 3 product engineers** and already **operate systems most companies don’t touch until much later**. You’ll be the first engineer to fully own and scale the platform layer:
* Handling **$4 billion** in annual revenue
* Ingesting **20 TB** every month
* Processing **5 billion jobs** every month
* **6000 jobs / s** at peak
* Queries join, window, and aggregate up to **100M rows** (100GB) in **seconds**, fully **real-time**.
This is **not a typical SRE, systems, or backend engineering role**. You will:
* **Drive your own roadmap**
* Go super **deep** on the **hardest** infra and systems problems
* Work with product engineers to **ship product that scales** to the **world’s largest** consumer brands.
Some examples of what you’ll be working on:
* **Build out services** that can ingest up to a **trillion** **jobs / month**
* Stare at **esoteric Clickhouse CPU and memory flamegraphs**
* Figure out how to **materialize our attribution dataset** to scale to join, window, and aggregate **billions of rows** in realtime
* **Build a SQL dialect** for our customers (or agents) to directly query the data in Converge
### This role is NOT for you if
* You **prefer to architect systems over building** them. You will implement everything you design. **Expect to be coding, a lot**.
* You want to **own "big tech" style, multi-quarter** migrations. We work with daily and weekly timelines.
* You **prefer working remote over in-person**. We all love working from our NYC office.
### What we’re looking for
* **Very strong coding** skills (we mostly work with Python, you should be familiar with more performant languages)
* **Deep understanding of databases** (OLTP & OLAP) (we work with Postgres & Clickhouse)
* **Experience at scale** (you’ve seen first hand where things fall over in data-heavy systems)
* You’re **pragmatic** and **customer-minded**. The best solutions involve a deep understanding of what customers need and of what’s _not needed_.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
