A VC-backed startup job refers to a position at a startup company that has received funding from venture capital (VC) investors. These roles often involve working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where employees wear multiple hats and contribute to scaling the business. Because VC-backed startups aim for rapid expansion, job opportunities may offer significant career growth potential, equity incentives, and a dynamic work culture. However, they can also involve high pressure, long hours, and uncertainty due to the risks associated with startups.
To thrive at a VC-backed startup, you need strong entrepreneurial skills, adaptability, and a solid understanding of your industry, often supported by experience in early-stage or high-growth company environments. Familiarity with tools like project management software, CRMs, analytics platforms, and financial modeling is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, resilience, and collaborative communication will help you stand out in the fast-paced startup setting. These skills are crucial as they enable you to navigate rapid change, contribute to growth, and work effectively within lean, dynamic teams.
VC-backed startups tend to offer rapid career progression, as responsibilities can expand quickly with company growth and high-performing employees often earn promotions or the chance to lead new projects. Team members might take on cross-functional roles, gaining experience in multiple business areas such as product, marketing, or operations. Many startups also provide opportunities for equity or stock options, enabling employees to share in the company’s success. The dynamic environment not only helps you build a diverse skill set but can also offer visibility with investors and industry leaders, providing valuable connections for future roles.

We're a fast-growing, well-funded AI-native analytics company (Series A/B equivalent) building an agentic data lakehouse that delivers trustworthy answers from messy enterprise data. Our platform helps organizations in highly regulated industries — including financial services and healthcare — query and reason over complex data using natural language, without heavy schema migrations or data movement.
As a Senior Software Engineer, Platform, you'll join the platform team shaping the data foundation that powers AI-driven analytics at scale. This is a zero-to-one, high-ownership role at a ~40-person company with strong investor backing and notable enterprise customers.
What You'll DoAgentic Semantic Layer: Build the system that gives AI agents the context to query enterprise data correctly and the guardrails to prove their results — making AI-generated analytics something teams can actually stake decisions on.
Distributed Agent Orchestration: Design and implement orchestration systems for agents that interact with the real world — including API integrations, rate limiting, OAuth passthrough, model routing, scheduling, and token optimization.
Agentic Data Engineering: Architect AI-centric ETL pipelines for data lakehouses that make large-scale analytics possible for organizations with little to no dedicated data engineering resources.
Required:
4+ years of practical experience as a backend or platform engineer building scalable distributed systems
Strong proficiency in Golang, with the ability to contribute across infrastructure, services, or frontend as needed
Hands-on experience with gRPC/ConnectRPC, Trino, Kubernetes, DuckDB, and PostgreSQL in a distributed data platform environment
Experience designing or implementing ETL pipelines, data modeling, or schema design for data platforms
Experience building orchestration systems for distributed agents (API integrations, rate limiting, OAuth, model routing, scheduling, or token optimization)
Prior experience at an early-stage startup, ideally building products from zero to one
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or comparable professional experience
Strong CS fundamentals
Nice to Have:
Experience with data visualization tools or big data technologies (Spark, Hadoop, or similar)
Background at a VC-backed startup
Salary: $200,000 – $350,000 USD annually (depending on experience)
Equity participation
Visa sponsorship is available
This role is on-site in New York City, NY. Candidates must be willing and able to work in-office full-time. Fully remote arrangements are not available for this position.
