About this role

Senior Backend Engineer, Product and Infra New York About the Role We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build the systems and services that power our product experience. You'll own the backend infrastructure that makes our content discoverable, our features responsive, and our platform reliable at scale. Your work will directly shape what users experience: designing APIs that serve rich content, building services that handle real-time interactions, implementing content-matching systems for rights and safety, and ensuring our platform performs under load. You'll architect systems that are fast, correct, and maintainable. You'll collaborate closely with Product, ML Research, and Mobile/Web teams to ship features that matter. We use Python, Go, BigQuery, Pub/Sub , and a microservices architecture-but we care more about good judgment than specific tool experience. What You'll Do - Design and maintain application-level data models that organize rich content into canonical structures optimized for product features, search, and retrieval. - Build high-reliability ETLs and streaming pipelines to process usage events, analytics data, behavioral signals, and application logs. - Develop data services that expose unified content to the application, such as metadata access APIs, indexing workflows, and retrieval-ready representations. - Implement and refine fingerprinting pipelines used for deduplication, rights attribution, safety checks, and provenance validation. - Own data consistency between ingestion systems, application surfaces, metadata storage, and downstream reporting environments. - Define and track key operational metrics , including latency, completeness, accuracy, and event health. - Collaborate with Product teams to ensure content structures and APIs support evolving features
