Senior Backend Engineer

What you will do

Own the core data systems that power Plot. You’ll take responsibility for how millions of enriched videos flow from ingestion → storage → analytics → product surfaces.
Stabilize and harden high-throughput write paths. Our pipelines ingest and enrich data continuously; you’ll diagnose failure modes, reduce error rates, and make ingestion reliable, observable, and predictable.
Design data access patterns that stay fast under pressure. You’ll ensure dashboards and analytical queries remain responsive even while large volumes of data are being written concurrently.
Separate transactional and analytical concerns. You’ll lead decisions around which workloads belong where, and design the systems and contracts that keep them from stepping on each other.
Build read-optimized models for insight, not just storage. This includes partitioning strategies, rollups, and schemas that reflect how data is actually queried — by humans and by AI.
Enable AI-native analytics. You’ll shape how our internal tools and AI agents query and reason over data, making it possible to answer complex analytical questions without brute-force scans.
