# Senior Software Engineer — Distributed Systems at Conviva

- **Company:** Conviva
- **Location:** Bengaluru, India
- **Posted:** 2026-10-13
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-14
- **Apply:** https://www.conviva.ai/careers/job/8030484003?gh_jid=8030484003

## Job description

Conviva is the experience analytics platform for AI agents, apps, and streaming. Conviva pioneered quality of experience measurement for streaming video and has supported live digital experiences across 20 Super Bowls, 10 Olympic Games, and five FIFA World Cup tournaments. With full-census, real-time, stateful analytics, Conviva shows what consumers actually experience, not just whether systems are running, and connects that experience to revenue, retention, and risk.

About the role:

Conviva helps businesses understand and improve experiences across video, digital applications, and AI agents. Our engineering teams build distributed systems that turn streaming data into real-time insights. You will design and build high-scale distributed systems, with a focus on Microservices (Rust,Python, Scala), Stateful Stream Processing, Analytical Databases and analytics AI Agents. You will own components from design through production, solving challenges in high throughput ingestion, event processing, distributed state management, storage, and query performance. The role requires understanding system internals, making sound engineering trade-offs, and building services that remain reliable under load and failures.

What Success Will Look Like:

- Build Rust-based microservices for high-throughput, low-latency data processing and analytics.
- Design service APIs and communication patterns with effective backpressure and failure handling.
- Develop streaming pipelines for ingestion, sessionization, aggregations, and stateful computations.
- Improve analytical storage and query performance through data modeling, indexing, and execution strategies.
- Investigate bottlenecks across CPU, memory, disk, and network; improve performance and infrastructure efficiency.
- Contribute to design reviews, mentor engineers, and collaborate across global teams.

Who You Are & What You've Done: .

- 4–6 years of software engineering experience, including ownership of production backend.
- Strong programming skills in Rust, Python, Scala, Java, or Go.
- Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, concurrency, networking, and operating systems.
- Experience building distributed systems, streaming platforms, databases, or high-scale microservices.
- Ability to reason about correctness and performance, diagnose failures, and explain design trade-offs.

Experience that would be valuable:

- Production Rust development, including asynchronous programming and concurrency.
- Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar systems, especially event-time processing, state management, and recovery.
- ClickHouse, Druid, or other analytical databases, including storage layouts and query optimization.

## Why this role

Own core infrastructure, influence architectural decisions, and solve distributed systems problems behind real-time analytics at scale. You do not need every technology listed. We value strong systems fundamentals, technical depth, and the ability to learn.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), analytics, and software development
- **Target customers**: B2B — streaming platforms, media companies, and any organization running consumer-facing digital products (apps, websites, AI agents)
- **Mission**: "Reimagining consumer-perspective analytics" — turning every digital interaction into outcome-based intelligence that reveals how experiences truly perform and drive results

## Products & Services
- **Conviva Platform (Consumer-Perspective Analytics)**: A SaaS analytics platform that ingests full-census client-side telemetry (sensors on 99% of devices) and uses a patented stateful analytics engine to continuously analyze every session and conversation. It exposes behavioral patterns, connects them to business outcomes, and surfaces opportunities for improvement in real time. Supports apps, websites, and AI agents.
- **Digital Product Insights**: A new offering built for the agentic era, providing experience analytics for apps, websites, and AI agents — measuring outcomes, friction, and risk once AI is deployed in production.
- **Time-State Data Platform**: Conviva’s underlying data platform that enables explainable, real-time analysis of complex systems (originally built for video QoE, now extended to agentic AI).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
