Staff Backend Engineer

Most data sits in a warehouse doing nothing. My client is a a. hugely successful software product company that is building out the team for one of their products.

This product provides a purpose-built no-code suite of features that enables anyone, regardless of their SQL experience, to activate data directly from their warehouse.

We're hiring a product-minded backend engineer to help decide what comes next.

On the table:

• Warehouse performance — pushing warehouses past what they were built for, through query optimisation, pre-computed state and vendor-specific improvements.
• Analytics & experimentation — helping customers build segments, test audiences, and see what's actually working downstream.
• Real-time syncing — as warehouses adopt CDC, how close to real-time can audience computation get?
• Generative AI — making acting on data feel seamless rather than technical.

You'll likely bring:

• 6+ years building backend systems, including time at a high-growth startup somewhere between Series A and E
• Language agnostic
• Strong systems design fundamentals and a feel for how large-scale data processing behaves under pressure
• A product brain — comfortable writing specs, iterating on feedback, and getting on a call with a user
• Clear communication and a genuine appetite for unsolved problems

This is a senior role, but impact and growth potential matter more here than years on a CV so if you're a superstar with 4 years experience in a high-growth startup then we need to talk!

This is a deep backend role, not full-stack, infra, data engineering or DevOps. If that's you, message me anyway — there are other roles I can point you at.
