Senior Backend Engineer

San Mateo, United States
Full-time

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with 4+ years of experience to join WisdomAI's founding engineering team and help build the next generation of AI-native business intelligence. You'll touch all parts of the codebase and product, collaborating closely with engineers, product, co-founders, and even customers to ship fast in a high-agency environment.

What will you be doing?

  • Build and scale large-scale data pipelines for latency-critical analytical workloads
  • Work across all parts of the codebase and product — this is not a siloed role
  • Collaborate directly with co-founders, product, and customers to define the product and engineering roadmap
  • Design and build cost-efficient, secure, and highly scalable systems on modern cloud infrastructure
  • Help shape the engineering culture and tech stack at a category-defining company

About WisdomAI

WisdomAI is the leader in a new generation of AI-native analytics and business intelligence. We believe data drives decisions, better: and we're putting data insights at the fingertips of every employee.

  • Powered by our Adaptive Context Engine, WisdomAI's Federated Agentic Intelligence Platform delivers +95% accuracy in real, complex enterprise environments. We're replacing legacy BI tools with self-serve data analytics powered by Generative AI, enabling every business user to access insights without depending on data teams for ad hoc questions and dashboards.
  • We have multiple Fortune 100 companies as paying customers and are experiencing extreme market demand.

Culture: WisdomAI is a high-pace, high-agency startup where you spin your chair, whiteboard it out, and go build. Projects are bottom-up: engineering-born, PM-driven, or design-driven, and the team collaborates across disciplines to ship fast.

Our founding team includes a CEO who helped scale Rubrik. Early engineers came from companies like Rubrik, Meta, Google, and Uber, creating a strong engineering culture around code reviews, architecture, and mentorship.
