- Develop front-end features and dashboards that visualize network and relationship data in an intuitive, performant way
- Collaborate cross-functionally to translate product requirements into scalable technical solutions
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code across the stack
- Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks across data ingestion, storage, and visualization layers

Required Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with graph databases (such as Neo4j, TigerGraph, Dgraph, ArangoDB, or Amazon Neptune) and graph query languages (such as Cypher or Gremlin)
Experience with real-time/streaming data infrastructure (such as Kafka, Kinesis, Flink, or Spark)
- Strong proficiency in at least one backend language such as Python, Go, or Node.js/TypeScript
- Front-end development experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript
- Experience building or working with data pipelines, ETL processes, or web scraping/crawler infrastructure
- Comfortable working in a high-growth, early-stage engineering environment with evolving priorities
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with data visualization libraries such as D3, Cytoscape, Sigma.js, vis.js, or Recharts, particularly for graph/network visualizations
- Experience with social listening, social media data, or large-scale web data platforms
- Familiarity with Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Redis, or Airflow
- Prior experience at a seed-to-Series B startup
- Experience with AWS, GCP, Docker, or Kubernetes

Tools & Technology:
Graph database platforms (Neo4j, TigerGraph, Dgraph, ArangoDB, or similar)
Streaming/data pipeline tools (Kafka, Spark, Flink, or similar)
