About this role

Backend Engineer San Francisco | Hybrid | Remote Our backend is the critical infrastructure that powers a modern network-as-a-service platform. It's a high-stakes, always-on system where reliability isn't optional-it's existential. As a Backend Engineer at Meter, you'll build production systems that can never go down, wrangle billions of real-time data points, and architect solutions that scale across cloud infrastructure. The impact you'll drive - Design and maintain production-critical systems where downtime directly impacts customer operations-bugs and architectural shortcuts aren't an option - Solve challenging data problems at scale: indexing and querying billions of telemetry data points while maintaining real-time performance - Build container-native architecture that scales across geographic regions in a multi-tenant environment - Partner with frontend engineers to power real-time dashboards and data visualizations from streaming telemetry - Create APIs and tooling that enable both customer integrations and internal velocity What your craft looks like You'll work on hard engineering problems that sit at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data processing, and cloud infrastructure. We build primarily in Go and our stack includes Postgres, Kafka for streaming data, ClickHouse for warehousing massive telemetry datasets, and GraphQL for flexible integrations. We deploy cloud-native, containerized services across AWS and Azure. Current technical challenges include: optimizing our ClickHouse cluster as telemetry volume grows, evolving our multi-tenant architecture for global deployment, security hardening across the stack, and maintaining sub-second latency for real-time data streams. What makes this role unique: you'll work in a fully integrated organization where backend, firmware, and hardware engi
