Founding Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a founding engineer to own and build out the data platform powering Converge.

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 flame graphs
• 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

• 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.

• 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.
