Senior Platform Engineer - Distributed Systems (NYC)
Senior Platform Engineer - Distributed Systems (NYC)
next playWe’re partnering with a rapidly growing, venture-backed startup that’s building the intelligence layer for modern infrastructure - a platform that helps engineering teams understand and automate what’s happening across complex systems in real time.
This is a deeply technical role at the intersection of distributed systems, data pipelines, and infra. You’ll be owning and scaling the system that ingests metrics, logs, traces, and code - running automated investigations and surfacing explainable insights that help engineers move faster and operate smarter.
What You’ll Do
- Own and scale the company’s core workflow engine - the system that ingests observability data and drives automated investigations.
- Design and implement distributed services that orchestrate data pipelines, automate incident response, and enable real-time insights.
- Model and optimize relational data to support high-throughput investigations and performance reporting.
- Harden the platform for scale by improving reliability, reducing failure modes, and optimizing system performance.
- Collaborate across product and infrastructure to translate ambiguous requirements into production-ready backend and platform features.
- Set engineering standards for communication, documentation, and system design, shaping how the entire platform is built.
What You Bring
- 4 to 8 years of engineering experience, including at least 2+ years in a hyper-scaling environment
- Proven experience building and scaling distributed systems and backend service
- Deep experience designing and optimizing relational data models
- Excellent communication skills and comfort operating in ambiguity with high ownership
Why This Role
You’ll join a small, sharp engineering team solving some of the most complex infrastructure challenges in the industry.
This is an opportunity to work onsite in NYC alongside a team of experienced builders who value deep systems thinking, clean design, and pragmatic execution.
Compensation: $200K–$300K base + equity
