About the role
As a Backend Engineer on Data Ingestion, you’ll work on the systems that bring captured activity into Scribe: receiving, batching, storing and handing it on to the AI pipeline, at the scale of hundreds of thousands of users and growing. The work is backend and infrastructure: throughput, reliability and cost.
What you'll do
Build projects from design to launch, on established products and new ones.
Collaborate with PMs, designers and other engineers to execute the build and how.
Contribute to technical discussions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term architecture.
Uphold strong engineering practices: code review, test coverage and observability.
Build and operate high-throughput backend services and the queues and storage behind them.
Improve the performance and reliability of services, database queries, endpoints and caching across critical workflows.
Take part in the on-call rotation for the systems you build
What we're looking for
2+ years building experience building backend applications
Product-minded. You care about the user problem as much as the code
Comfortable with unclear problems and fast change
Strong Python or Go experience, or experience in another backend language and willingness to work across Python and Go
Familiar with queues, object storage, and relational or time-series databases
Has debugged a production problem from metrics and logs
User-centric, empathetic, and passionate about your work
Nice to have: AI/LLM product experience, startup experience
Why you'll love working here
Hard, open problems. Nobody hands you a finished spec. You'll decide what to build with your PM and designer, then own how it performs.
The reach of a unicorn, the headcount of a startup. We went from $1M to $100M ARR in under four years, with fewer than 200 people. That means more pie than people: scope grows with your impact. Customers like T-Mobile, LinkedIn, HubSpot, New York Life and Northern Trust run on Scribe, so what you own reaches some of the biggest names in business.
Smart is the floor. Kind is the bar. Low ego, high standards. We compete as a collective and love to see each other win, and One Team, One Dream is one of the most shouted-out values in #values.
