We started with one of the most complex customers on earth, the U.S. government. Its programs span thousands of people, multiple organizations, billion-dollar budgets, and differentiated security environments. And somehow, too much of that work still runs on stale schedules, spreadsheets, hand-built slides, and project management software stuck in the Tetris era. We’re changing that. Based in Seattle, Integrate has secured a $25 million U.S. Space Force contract and expanded across government and commercial programs, raised a $17 million Series A led by FPV Ventures, secured backing from J.P. Morgan, and built software that operates across government and commercial environments, from unclassified work to Top Secret networks. We move fast, keep the egos low, and make room for quirks, strong opinions, fun, and the occasional chaos of building things from scratch with extreme velocity. We offer strong benefits, real ownership, and ambitious work with people you actually want to be around. ### Our Solution Integrate gives complex programs something they have never had before. One real-time schedule that can operate across organizations, security boundaries, and classification levels without fragmenting the schedule. The program stays live as it changes. Teams can see how the program has moved, understand how a change ripples downstream, surface risk before it compounds, and control access down to the individual element. And our AI architecture works from that same continuously updated program state. It understands what is happening now, not a report assembled days or weeks ago. The schedule stops being a static plan and becomes a living reflection of the program itself. We’re nowhere near done. We want to set a new standard for how the world’s most complex work gets done, and we won’t stop until we do. ### About the Role We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to join a small, high-ownership engineering team building the infrastructure layer of Integrate’s platform. This isn’t a maintenance role — you’re coming in to help us scale. The problems you’ll work on are real and immediate: distributed system performance, data federation at scale, and building the architecture that lets Integrate grow with its increasing customer base. You’ll work closely with engineers who care deeply about craft, move fast, and aren’t afraid to make hard calls. If you’ve built systems that handle serious consumer or commercial load — cloud migrations, microservice transitions, distributed data pipelines, event-driven architecture — this is the role for you. ### What You’ll Work On Design and scale distributed backend systems handling high-throughput, real-time data across a complex dependency graph Own performance profiling and debugging across our Go and Rust services — identify bottlenecks and ship fixes Contribute to our data federation architecture, including S3 integration, graduation pipelines, and downstream data services Build and evolve gRPC service interfaces and REST/JSON APIs consumed across internal and external surfaces Work across SQL and NoSQL data stores — schema design, query optimization, and durability patterns Drive infrastructure decisions in collaboration with platform engineers and technical leads Instrument, observe, and debug production systems — on-call, root cause analysis, and incident follow-through ### Tech Stack You’ll be working primarily in Go, with Python for tooling and data workflows. Our stack includes gRPC, REST/JSON, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL stores, and Kubernetes-managed infrastructure. We use Terraform for infra-as-code. ### Experience We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in distributed backend systems — though we don't expect you to check every box. Here's the kind of background that sets you up well: 2–5+ years of backend engineering experience, with a focus on distributed or high-availability systems Production experience in Go; Python for tooling or data workflows --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
