Our backend is the critical infrastructure that powers a modern network-as-a-service platform. It's a high-stakes, always-on system where reliability isn't optional—it's existential. As a Backend Engineer at Meter, you'll build production systems that can never go down, wrangle billions of real-time data points, and architect solutions that scale across cloud infrastructure.
The impact you’ll drive
What your craft looks like
You'll work on hard engineering problems that sit at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data processing, and cloud infrastructure. We build primarily in Go and our stack includes Postgres, Kafka for streaming data, ClickHouse for warehousing massive telemetry datasets, and GraphQL for flexible integrations. We deploy cloud-native, containerized services across AWS and Azure.
Current technical challenges include: optimizing our ClickHouse cluster as telemetry volume grows, evolving our multi-tenant architecture for global deployment, security hardening across the stack, and maintaining sub-second latency for real-time data streams.
What makes this role unique: you'll work in a fully integrated organization where backend, firmware, and hardware engineers collaborate closely. You'll gain perspectives and context that simply don't exist at traditional software companies—understanding constraints and opportunities from the physical layer up creates better software architecture.
What makes you a fit
Why Meter?
The internet runs the world. Every email you send, purchase you make, video call you join—it’s all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven’t changed for decades. They’re brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.
We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground-up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, Reddit, rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.
Our bet with Meter is simple: we will all use the internet more than we do today. We believe we have the definitive networking stack in place to enable business to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.
