Software Engineer, Distributed Systems bei Conviva

Conviva is the intelligence layer for digital businesses, turning every consumer interaction into outcome-based intelligence—linking engagement patterns across AI agents, apps, websites, and streaming video to real results such as purchases, bookings, and resolved support requests. Powered by its patented Time-State Technology®, the Conviva® Operational Data Platform delivers real-time insights and automation that help leading enterprises grow, improve satisfaction, and build lasting trust. 

We’re looking for engineers with a passion for building scalable, distributed systems and a curiosity for how complex systems work under the hood. Whether you’re an engineer eager to learn the science behind modern data systems, a recent PhD graduate, or a researcher who loves writing code, this role offers a chance to bridge theory and production at an internet scale. 

You’ll join our backend and data infrastructure teams to design and build components of Conviva’s real-time analytics platform — a system that ingests and analyzes trillions of events per day, empowering global media companies with actionable insights. 

What Success Will Look Like: 

• Build and improve distributed systems that process, store, and query massive volumes of real-time data. 

• Contribute to our OLAP layer, the heart of our time-state analytics platform, by optimizing query execution, storage, and performance. 

• Design and optimize data pipelines for both batch and streaming workloads using open-source frameworks.  

• Collaborate with other engineers and researchers to prototype and operationalize new data abstractions. 

• Work on challenging systems problems like consistency, fault tolerance, and stateful stream processing. 

• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and performance experiments. 

Who You Are & What You've Done:  

• BS/MS in Computer Science or related field, or a PhD focused on systems, databases, or distributed computing. 

• Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and operating systems. 

• Proficiency in at least one of C++, Rust, Java, or Scala. 

• Solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals — e.g., consistency, fault tolerance, replication, partitioning. 

• Familiarity with OLAP engines (ClickHouse, Druid, Presto) or streaming frameworks (Flink, Spark) is a plus, not a requirement. 

• Enthusiasm for learning complex systems, solving challenging problems, and growing in a fast-paced environment. 

Nice to Have: 

• Prior experience (through work, research, or projects) with OLAP systems or performance optimization. 

• Experience with cloud environments or container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker). 

• Contributions to open-source distributed systems or data infrastructure projects. 

• Experience in SaaS or large-scale data platforms. 

The expected salary range for this full-time position is $160,000 - $200,000 + equity + benefits. Compensation and actual level will be determined by numerous factors such as your qualifications, experience, and relevant education or training.
