Founding Platform Engineer

Converge helps consumer brands understand their marketing performance. 200+ brands rely on Converge to grow more profitably. We have raised $5.7M and crossed well beyond $2M ARR with a team of four engineers. We are early enough that the next hire shapes the next chapter, and far enough along that the work has weight from day one.

We're looking for a founding engineer to own and build out the data platform powering Converge. 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:

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 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.

• Very strong coding skills (we mostly work with Python, you should be familiar with more performant languages).
• Deep understanding of databases (OLTP & OLAP) (we work with Postgres & Clickhouse).
• Experience at scale (you've seen first hand where things fall over in data-heavy systems).
• You're pragmatic and customer-minded. The best solutions involve a deep understanding of what customers need and of what's not needed.
