## About the role

We're hiring a Senior/Staff Backend Software Engineer who has built and run a data platform before — and wants to do it again for a problem that matters. You'll be a foundational owner of the platform behind Energize™: the shared ingestion, storage, compute, and serving layers that our modeling, product, and customer-facing teams all build on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience making foundational platform decisions — ingestion patterns, data modeling, schema evolution and data contracts, storage and compute layout — and carrying them through growth in data volume, sources, and users
- Experience architecting and operating production backend systems, with clear judgment on design tradeoffs
- Experience with distributed systems, concurrency, failure recovery, and safe migrations
- Hands-on AWS experience, including deployment automation, monitoring, and secure access management
- Strong Python, SQL, API design, and database modeling skills
- Experience developing ingestion and ETL/ELT pipelines into data marts and serving layers
