Role OverviewAs 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.
What You Will Do
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.
Why It Might Be a Fit
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.
