More about this role

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 .

  • 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.

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

  • You prefer to architect systems over building them. You will implement everything you design....
