Converge, a Y Combinator S23 startup, is hiring a founding platform engineer for its New York City office. The company helps 200+ consumer brands track marketing performance, with clients including publicly traded companies that check their data up to a dozen times daily. Converge has raised $5.7 million from top investors including General Catalyst and Y Combinator.

This role involves owning the data platform that handles $4 billion in annual revenue, ingests 20 TB monthly, and processes 5 billion jobs monthly at peak rates of 6000 jobs per second. The platform engineer will work with ClickHouse and Postgres databases, building services that can scale to a trillion jobs monthly and optimizing real-time queries that join up to 100 million rows in seconds.

The position offers $180K-$240K salary plus 0.5-0.85% equity, along with comprehensive benefits. Unlike typical SRE or backend roles, this founding engineer will drive their own roadmap, tackle complex infrastructure problems, and collaborate directly with product engineers. The team of three product engineers has already built systems that most companies don't touch until much later, making this an opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a rapidly growing analytics platform.
