Senior Backend SWE - NYC ( Hybrid but in-office) - *Multiple Openings

About Us:

WireScreen is a Sequoia-backed startup building a sophisticated corporate intelligence platform to help multinational companies, asset managers, and regulators track and monitor their supply chains and business partnerships. Our leadership team includes a Pulitzer Prize winner and senior engineers who helped scale Google, Peloton, and Compass. We're seeking a talented Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our growing Engineering team. If you're passionate about making a significant impact on global investment decisions, supply chain monitoring, and risk response, we want you on board.

Your Role: Senior Backend Engineer

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll work closely with other teammates to design and build our next-generation platform and product features. The problems you'll face are diverse and interesting, from modeling graph relationships between tens of millions of entities to augmenting datasets via new data pipeline stages to delivering data to our web UI and other products. However, the responsibilities are not only to deliver the product features that will be 10x our revenue but also to scale up those systems to handle that data, improve how our software operates, and push the envelope of what's possible.

Good communication skills are key in this role as we work closely with our research team of experts in international business and regulation. We believe in teamwork, collaboration, and helping each other to reach our goals. We have a lot of challenging problems to solve and are looking for someone with a positive outlook and a can-do attitude. Reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, you'll have an excellent opportunity to grow quickly in your career as you develop a breadth of skills alongside a highly motivated, capable team.

What You'll Do at WireScreen
    • Work alongside a product manager, UX designer, and other engineers to deliver valuable new product features.
    • Collaborate on our technical vision.
    • Advocate for and prototype new technology solutions that solve real problems.
    • Build scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems able to handle more data, more queries, and more insights.
    • Design platform APIs upon which multiple product features depend.
    • Continuously and incrementally improve our engineering processes, documentation, tools, and systems.
Who You Are/You Have:
    • 5+ years as a backend or full-stack software engineer.
    • Proficiency with relational databases and SQL.
    • A generalist approach, and an open mind to trying new ways of solving problems.
    • A passion for building software to solve business and product problems.
    • Strong technical skills that enable you to deliver a quality product, quickly to market.
    • An acumen for working with others to break down problems into smaller deliverables with intermediate milestones.
    • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical teammates.
    • A growth mindset and positive attitude.
Ideally, You'll Have:
    • Strong Python programming skills.
    • Experience with large-scale data processing engines like Apache Spark.
    • Experience working with datasets of 10s of millions of entities, especially as a knowledge graph or similar format.
    • Experience building and scaling data pipelines.
    • Experience collaborating with stakeholders on data-related problems alongside data analysts, data engineers, and data scientists.

We are seeking candidates who aspire to excellence; colleagues who are curious, passionate, and determined to build something innovative. We are eager to learn new things and collaborate on projects that aspire to change the way people understand the architecture of global business and its role in shaping our society and the environment.
