The role

As a Backend Software Engineer on Hebbia’s Growth and Data team, you will build and maintain the powerful backend systems that drive user engagement and fuel Hebbia's continued expansion.

We build robust integrations with platforms like Snowflake, S3, SharePoint, Dropbox, and beyond, enabling organizations to securely unify their data ecosystems. From discovery and search to retrieval-augmented deep research within chat matrix frameworks, the data we deliver quite literally powers every part of the AI platform.

Drive performance optimization: Architect and implement performance-tuning solutions to ensure our systems operate efficiently at scale, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput across millions of documents.
Mentor and guide: Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior engineers, fostering a culture of learning and growth.

What you need

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or a related field. A strong academic background with coursework in data structures, algorithms, and software development is preferred.
5+ years software development experience at a venture-backed startup or top technology firm, with a focus on backend software engineering.
Proficiency in building backend and API systems using technologies such as Python, Java, or Go.
Extensive experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS)
Working experience with one or more of the following: Kafka, ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL, and/or Redis
Ability to analyze complex problems, propose innovative solutions, and effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Proven experience in leading software development projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Strong interpersonal and communication skills to foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment.
Enthusiasm for continuous learning and professional growth. A passion for exploring new technologies, frameworks, and software development methodologies.
Embraces rapid prototyping with an emphasis on user feedback
Autonomous and excited about taking ownership over major initiatives
Bonuses:
