<p><b>Description</b> </p> <h1><strong>About the Role</strong></h1><div>We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build and scale the GenAI Lens backend platform.

Experience</strong></h2><ul><li><div>Experience building and maintaining backend services in production</div></li><li><div>Strong experience with GraphQL APIs (schema design, resolver patterns, authorization, performance)</div></li><li><div>Strong experience with MongoDB (data modeling, indexing, aggregation pipelines;

alternatives acceptable)</div></li><li><div>Experience debugging, monitoring, and operating production systems</div></li><li><div>Comfortable working in a distributed team environment</div></li><li><div>Strong operational skills: logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards/alerts, and production support practices</div></li></ul><h2><strong>Infrastructure &amp; Platform Experience</strong></h2><ul><li><div>Cloud experience, preferably AWS, including:</div></li><li><div>Lambda</div></li><li><div>SQS / SNS / EventBridge / Kafka</div></li><li><div>S3</div></li><li><div>CloudWatch</div></li><li><div>API Gateway (where applicable)</div></li><li><div>Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform</div></li><li><div>Experience with private networking patterns (VPC, security groups, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints) is a plus</div></li><li><div>Exposure to containerized workloads (EKS/Kubernetes) is a plus, even if the core architecture is serverless-first</div></li></ul><h2><strong>Collaboration &amp; Others</strong></h2><ul><li><div>Prior experience leading projects, features, or technical initiatives</div></li><li><div>Ability to influence architecture and design decisions</div></li><li><div>Strong ownership mindset and ability to identify and execute improvements independently</div></li></ul><h2><strong>AI &amp; Developer Productivity</strong></h2><ul><li><div>Familiarity with embeddings and vector search concepts, and the tradeoffs they introduce (latency, cost, relevance)</div></li><li><div>Experience integrating with LLM/embedding providers via clean abstractions (timeouts, retries, fallbacks, rate limits)</div></li><li><div>Awareness of AI industry standards/practices: prompt/version management, evaluation/regression checks, basic guardrails, and auditability</div></li><li><div>Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve development workflows and code quality (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI-based tools)</div></li><li><div>Ability to articulate how AI has improved development speed, quality, testing, or maintainability</div></li></ul><h2><strong>Nice to Have</strong></h2><ul><li><div>Experience building high-throughput services (e.g., millions of requests/minute class systems) and tuning concurrency/connection pools</div></li><li><div>Experience designing “saved filter” or “materialized view” style performance optimizations for analytics/trends workloads</div></li><li><div>Experience with multi-region data and compliance-minded architectures</div></li><li><div>Experience refactoring legacy systems or consolidating services for efficiency and cost savings</div></li></ul><h1><strong>Why Join This Team</strong></h1><ul><li><div>Help build a modern backend platform where quality and scalability are non-negotiable, enabling a high-impact product for the company with visible outcomes and real customer adoption.</div></li><li><div>Work with cutting-edge technologies and modern AI tooling (embeddings, vector search, LLM providers, evaluation/guardrails) while staying grounded in strong backend engineering practices.</div></li><li><div>Supportive, collaborative team culture—ideas are heard, discussed openly, and improved together as a group</div></li></ul><div>What We Offer:</div><ul><li><div>Enjoy comprehensive paid time off that allows you to have an enhanced work-life balance</div></li><li><div>Excellent medical, dental, and vision options</div></li><li><div>401(k) matching, life insurance, commuter benefits, and parental leave plans</div></li><li><div>Complimentary CalmApp subscription for you and your loved ones, because mental wellness matters.</div></li><li><div>Energetic work environment with a hybrid work style, providing the balance you need.</div></li><li><div>Thrive within our inclusive community and seize ongoing professional development opportunities to elevate your career.</div></li><li><div>Total compensation range for this position: $188,000-$250,000 USD per year. </div></li></ul><div>Start Date : April 1st, 2026<br /><br /></div><div>Our Story:</div><div>At Meltwater, we believe that when you have the right people in the right environment, great things happen.<br /><br />Our best-in-class technology empowers our 27,000 customers around</div><div>the world to make better business decisions through data.
