Conviva is the experience analytics platform for AI agents, apps, and streaming. The company pioneered quality of experience measurement for streaming video and has supported major live digital events including 20 Super Bowls, 10 Olympic Games, and five FIFA World Cup tournaments. With full-census, real-time, stateful analytics, Conviva shows what consumers actually experience and connects that experience to revenue, retention, and risk.
In this Senior Software Engineer role focused on distributed systems, you will design and build high-scale distributed systems that turn streaming data into real-time insights. You will work across Microservices (Rust, Python, Scala), Stateful Stream Processing, Analytical Databases, and analytics AI Agents. You will own components from design through production, solving challenges in high throughput ingestion, event processing, distributed state management, storage, and query performance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build Rust-based microservices for high-throughput, low-latency data processing and analytics
- Design service APIs and communication patterns with effective backpressure and failure handling
- Develop streaming pipelines for ingestion, sessionization, aggregations, and stateful computations
- Improve analytical storage and query performance through data modeling, indexing, and execution strategies
- Investigate bottlenecks across CPU, memory, disk, and network; improve performance and infrastructure efficiency
- Contribute to design reviews, mentor engineers, and collaborate across global teams
The role requires understanding system internals, making sound engineering trade-offs, and building services that remain reliable under load and failures.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 4–6 years of software engineering experience, including ownership of production backend systems
- Strong programming skills in Rust, Python, Scala, Java, or Go
- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, concurrency, networking, and operating systems
- Experience building distributed systems, streaming platforms, databases, or high-scale microservices
- Ability to reason about correctness and performance, diagnose failures, and explain design trade-offs
VALUABLE EXPERIENCE:
- Production Rust development, including asynchronous programming and concurrency
- Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar systems, especially event-time processing, state management, and recovery
- ClickHouse, Druid, or other analytical databases, including storage layouts and query optimization
