Job summary

Morgan Pinnacle Group is seeking a Backend Engineer to own and evolve high-volume data-processing pipelines that transform enterprise data into AI-training-ready datasets. This onsite role in Dumbo, Brooklyn demands ownership of production backends, from design to delivery, with a focus on correctness and safe recovery.

Ideal candidates have 3–10 years of backend experience, a STEM degree from a top U.S. institution, and comfort with Go/Rust/Java.

Qualifications

• 3–10 years of software engineering experience with production backend systems.
• Personally shipped and operated production backend systems, ideally multi-stage, high-volume pipelines.
• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field from a top-30 U.S. institution.
• Strong distributed/asynchronous backend fundamentals: queues/workers, concurrency, idempotency, retries, partial failures, recovery.
• Meaningful full-time experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup with ownership.
• Strong proficiency in a general-purpose backend language.
• Willing and able to work 5 days/week onsite in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale multi-stage, high-volume data-processing pipelines that de-identify sensitive enterprise data.

• Ensure silent failures, duplicated output, stale data, and other correctness issues are caught before customer delivery.
• Make retries, checkpoints, partial failures, replay, backfills, and rollbacks safe and understandable across asynchronous orchestration, batch workers, queues, and object storage.
• Build internal tooling and dashboards to understand pipeline performance, investigate data quality, and support release decisions.
• Collaborate closely with ML, full-stack, platform, and security teammates to process new data modalities and expand pipeline capabilities.
