Build the Intelligence Infrastructure Behind the AI Native Command Center

CRED is redefining how companies access and act on intelligence. We centralize internal and external data, enrich it with insights, and power AI agents that drive better business decisions. From predictive GTM tooling to real-time data enrichment, our platform is built for speed, scale, and adaptability.

We’ve just raised a $10M+ seed round, are working with iconic partners like the PGA and Golden State Warriors, and are scaling up our technical team.

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll architect and scale the systems that fuel our AI products — powering everything from LLM agents to customer intelligence dashboards. You’ll work with large datasets, high-velocity event pipelines, and a modern stack including GraphQL, BigQuery, JavaScript, and Python.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and optimize GraphQL APIs that power real-time, data-rich interfaces
• Work across our data platform — ingesting, transforming, and querying massive datasets (primarily in BigQuery)
• Develop backend systems in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js) with Python components as needed
• Partner closely with frontend, AI, and product teams to support weekly sprint cycles and deliver new features quickly
• Build infrastructure for data ingestion, enrichment, and delivery across internal and customer-facing tools
• Optimize performance and scalability of our backend systems as the platform evolves
• Collaborate on architectural decisions and shape our engineering best practices
  
  

How We Work

We run on weekly sprints, short feedback loops, and a tight-knit, collaborative culture. You’ll ship quickly, iterate constantly, and work across the stack to unblock teams and deliver outcomes. Autonomy, speed, and clarity are core to how we operate.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend development experience, ideally in fast-paced product environments
• Proficiency in GraphQL, BigQuery, and JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js)
• Comfortable working with structured and unstructured data — you know how to make data useful and fast
• Experience building APIs and services that are performant, secure, and scalable
• Familiarity with Python — especially for data manipulation or integration tasks
• Strong collaboration skills and a bias for shipping
• Startup mindset — proactive, resourceful, and thrives in ambiguity
  
  

Bonus Points

• Experience integrating with LLM or agent-based systems
• Built systems for sales intelligence, customer data platforms, or internal tools
• Familiarity with cloud infra (GCP/AWS), observability tools, and CI/CD workflows
• Comfort owning data pipelines end-to-end, from ingestion to query optimization
• Open-source contributions or personal backend/data projects
  
  

Why Join CRED?

You’ll help define the backend that powers one of the world’s most ambitious AI business platforms. You’ll work with large, complex datasets, modern tooling, and a team that’s focused on solving meaningful problems. If you want to build infrastructure that makes real-time intelligence possible — and do it with autonomy, speed, and impact — we’d love to hear from you.
