About the RoleAs we scale our SaaS platform to support increasingly complex enterprise environments, our
graph-based data architecture is becoming a critical strategic pillar. We're looking for a Senior Engineer with deep experience building and scaling
graph-centric, multi-tenant data systems for large-scale SaaS products.
In this role, you'll own the evolution of our graph data tier-designing performant, secure, and scalable graph models and storage strategies that enable rich relationships, deep querying, and intelligent insights across tenants.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll shape the technical foundation of how we represent, store, traverse, and analyze interconnected enterprise data at scale.
ResponsibilitiesGraph Data Architecture- Architect, evolve, and optimize our multi-tenant graph data model, including node/edge schema design, relationship modeling, partitioning, and traversal strategies.
- Define and implement tenancy models for graph storage-balancing shared-graph vs. tenant-isolated subgraphs, hybrid partitioning, or database-per-tenant graph deployments.
- Develop data architecture for graph sharding, indexing, and high-throughput traversal, ensuring low-latency queries even as topology size and complexity scale.
Backend & Data Layer Engineering- Build backend services that interact heavily with datastores, including APIs, data-access layers, ingestion workflows, and graph mutation/query pipelines.
- Optimize query performance through indexing improvements, caching of subgraphs, tuned traversal patterns, and distributed graph execution.
Multi-Tenancy & Platform Scalability- Own decision-making around multi-tenant graph architecture: tenant boundaries, access control models, resource isolation, and performance fairness.
- Implement tooling for onboarding, migrations, tenant provisioning, graph expansion, and lifecycle management.
- Collaborate across product, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure the graph layer meets enterprise SLAs, security, and compliance requirements.
Technical Leadership- Establish standards around modeling, relationship semantics, data governance, and observability for graph workloads.
- Build visibility into performance and health-metrics, dashboards, anomaly detection, traversal cost profiling, etc.
- Mentor engineers in database fundamentals, scalable SaaS data patterns, and distributed systems thinking.
QualificationsRequired- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in production SaaS environments.
- Hands-on experience designing, scaling, or operating multi-tenancy databases in production.
- Strong understanding of graph modeling, schema design for nodes/edges, indexing, and query/traversal optimization.
- Proficiency in a modern backend language (Go, Python, Java, Node.js, etc.).
- Solid grounding in distributed systems concepts, partitioning, caching, and performance optimization.
- Experience making architectural decisions in fast-changing, high-scale environments.
Preferred- Experience scaling graph-backed SaaS products for enterprise customers with large, complex topologies.
- Familiarity with distributed graph engines, distributed SQL, NoSQL, or horizontally scalable datastores.
- Experience building observability for graph workloads: query heatmaps, traversal metrics, cardinality analysis.
- Prior experience with major re-architecture efforts-e.g., moving from relational to graph, multi-tenant transitions, or large-scale migrations.
Why This Role Matters- You will define and deliver enterprise ready, graph-first architecture that powers the next generation of our platform.
- You'll tackle high-leverage challenges around traversal performance, data relationships, tenant isolation, and scale-out strategies.
- Your work will directly influence how customers understand, visualize, and automate complex systems-unlocking entirely new product capabilities.
What We Offer- Build foundational product features for an AI-first enterprise platform
- The opportunity to take ownership of critical systems that scale to millions of users
- A culture that values craftsmanship, autonomy, and technical excellence
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
- Work from our Flatiron District, Manhattan office, where you'll be side-by-side with the founding team in a supportive, collaborative setting. Our team works on-site five days a week, growing and building together, and the location is easy to reach with plenty of public transportation options.
The reasonably estimated yearly salary for this role at is: $190,000-$250,000 USD.
