Job description

Conviva is the intelligence layer for digital businesses, turning every consumer interaction into outcome-based intelligence-linking engagement patterns across AI agents, apps, websites, and streaming video to real results such as purchases, bookings, and resolved support requests. Powered by its patented Time-State Technology®, the Conviva® Operational Data Platform delivers real-time insights and automation that help leading enterprises grow, improve satisfaction, and build lasting trust.

Conviva engineers build and operate distributed systems that handle five trillion events every day, achieving performance at a scale comparable to the world's largest analytics platforms.

We are looking for a highly motivated and self-driven backend engineer who is passionate about distributed systems, large-scale data infrastructure, and performance optimization. In this role, you will design and build core components of Conviva's real-time analytics platform, collaborating with a small, world-class team where every technical decision matters. Our engineers combine academic depth with practical innovation, contributing to research publications and advancing the state of large-scale distributed data systems.

What Success Will Look Like :

  • Develop and maintain the OLAP layer, optimizing data processing, query performance, and reliability across massive datasets.
  • Design, build, and optimize distributed data pipelines for both batch and streaming workloads using open-source frameworks.
  • Architect and evolve distributed system components that deliver high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
  • Integrate OLAP solutions into Conviva's broader data ecosystem, ensuring efficient and seamless data flow.
  • Lead and collaborate on critical technical decisions, guiding team members through complex engineering challenges.
  • Drive code quality and best practices, fostering a strong engineering culture built on mentorship, collaboration, and technical excellence.
  • Stay up to date with advancements in distributed databases, stream processing frameworks, and cloud infrastructure, evaluating new technologies for impact and scalability.

Who You Are & What You've Done :

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and networking.
  • Proficiency in C++, Rust, Scala, Java, or similar systems programming language.
  • Proven experience designing or building large-scale distributed systems, ideally in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience with big data platforms and query engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Apache Druid, Presto, BigQuery, and others).
  • Familiarity with distributed stream processing frameworks such as Akka Streams, Apache Spark, or Apache Flink.
  • Demonstrated expertise in performance analysis and tuning for distributed systems.
  • Strong collaborator with experience mentoring others, driving initiatives, and contributing to a positive engineering culture.
  • Adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience building and scaling systems in SaaS or data infrastructure environments.
  • Contributions to open-source projects in distributed systems, databases, or analytics.
  • Knowledge of OLAP architecture, columnar storage, and high-performance query execution.
  • The expected salary range for this full-time position is $180,000 - $230,000 + equity + benefits. Compensation and actual level will be determined by numerous factors such as your qualifications, experience, and relevant education or training.
