We value curiosity and the drive to find better ways of doing things. We thrive on customer empathy, which remains our focus when creating excellent customer experiences through product innovation. We know that greatness is achieved through collaboration and diverse points of view, so we work closely with partners around the globe. As a team, we assume positive intent in each other's words and actions, value constructive discussions, and foster a respectful working environment built on integrity, growth, and business value. We invest heavily in our people, who are eager to learn and constantly improve. Join our team and grow with us! As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will design and build the backend systems that ingest, correlate, enrich, and serve billions of records across PitchBook's customer-facing products. You will own meaningful pieces of a complex, high-scale distributed platform end-to-end - from design through production - and be a trusted technical voice on the team. You have deep enough experience to operate with autonomy on hard problems, break down ambiguity into concrete engineering plans, and deliver without hand-holding. You know when to move fast and when to slow down and get the design right. You bring opinions to technical discussions, write code that others learn from, and actively make the engineers around you better. This is a backend-heavy, hands-on role. The problems are data problems: scale, correctness, latency, and quality across a pipeline that processes billions of records from multiple external sources. Primary Job Responsibilities: * Design, implement, and maintain backend services and data pipelines that ingest, transform, enrich, and index large-scale company and person data * Own features and system components end-to-end: requirements through design, implementation, testing, and production support * Write well-designed, testable, and efficient code that meets performance, scalability, and reliability standards * Contribute to architecture and technical design discussions; identify tradeoffs and advocate for sound engineering decisions * Perform code reviews and provide meaningful technical feedback to peers * Support production systems - deployments, troubleshooting, and incident response * Apply AI tooling to improve your own development, testing, and delivery efficiency; experiment with LLM-powered capabilities where relevant to the platform * Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and data science partners in an Agile environment * Support the vision and values of the company through role modeling and encouraging desired behaviors * Participate in various company initiatives and projects as requested, The job conditions for this position are in a standard office setting. Employees in this position use PC and phone on an on-going basis throughout the day. Limited corporate travel may be required to remote offices or other business meetings and events. ## Related Videos - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
