We are looking for a senior backend engineer to own the architecture underneath our streaming app, Analytics Engine, and Prediction Engine.

Responsibilities

  • Own the pipes behind the Analytics Engine and Prediction Engine, from ingestion, sentiment analysis, dashboards, to campaign attribution.
  • Own logging, monitoring, and alerting that catches problems before they become incidents.
  • Provide technical judgment through review and direct mentorship.

Requirements

  • 6+ years shipping and owning distributed, production-grade backend systems.
  • Experience building microservices in Java/Kotlin, with event-driven architecture and message queues (Kafka, Flink, or equivalent), exposed via REST and gRPC contracts.
  • Comfortable owning infrastructure on AWS/GCP/Azure with Docker and Kubernetes.
