Founding Platform Engineer
Converge, New York, New York
About the job
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
