Converge is a New York City-based startup that develops AI agents designed to manage the growth engines of consumer brands, such as Hims & Hers.

The company currently manages over $1 million in daily budgets and reports that its agents already handle more than 90% of all budget changes within customer ad accounts.

To support this growth, Converge is seeking a founding platform engineer to own the infrastructure powering these agents. The role focuses on high-scale systems engineering rather than traditional site reliability engineering (SRE). The engineer will be responsible for building services capable of ingesting up to a trillion jobs per month and managing systems that currently process 20 terabytes of data monthly. Key technical challenges include optimizing Clickhouse CPU and memory flamegraphs, materializing attribution datasets to allow for real-time joins and aggregations of billions of rows, and developing a custom SQL dialect for the agents to query data directly.
The position requires a developer who can balance high-level architectural design with hands-on implementation, as the company emphasizes a culture of rapid iteration over multi-quarter migrations. The startup, which has raised $5.7 million from investors including Y Combinator and General Catalyst, operates with a small team of 13 people. The platform engineer will work alongside three product engineers to ensure the system can scale to support the world’s largest consumer brands while utilizing coding agents to automate internal workflows like profiling, monitoring, and debugging.
