WHY PLOT Plot is building the next generation of social intelligence — an AI-native platform that helps some of the world's most influential brands understand culture, find emerging trends, and activate their communities at scale. We're a high-growth, venture-backed startup supported by the co-founders of Reddit and Plaid, with customers like Tory Burch, Lululemon, La Roche-Posay, and other household names. We operate at the intersection of applied AI and large-scale data systems, turning millions of short-form videos every day into structured representations of culture and consumer behavior. Plot makes unstructured social media legible at scale, enabling brands to build a deep, systematic understanding of trends, audiences, and influence. You'll join a small but mighty team where engineers own systems end-to-end — not tickets. You'll work directly with founders, shape foundational architecture, and make decisions that define how Plot scales for years to come. If you enjoy ambiguous problems, deep systems thinking, and building infrastructure that unlocks entire product surfaces, Plot is the place. It’s also a great fit if you aspire to be a technical founder one day — we operate with a strong founder’s mindset.   WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON - Own the core data systems that power Plot. You’ll take responsibility for how millions of enriched videos flow from ingestion → storage → analytics → product surfaces. - Stabilize and harden high-throughput write paths. Our pipelines ingest and enrich data continuously; you’ll diagnose failure modes, reduce error rates, and make ingestion reliable, observable, and predictable. - Design data access patterns that stay fast under pressure. You’ll ensure dashboards and analytical queries remain responsive even while large volumes of data are being written concurrently. - Separate transactional and analytical concerns. You’ll lead decisions around which workloads belong where, and design the systems and contracts that keep them from steppi
