Trusted by industry leaders like Disney, NBC, and the NFL, Conviva revolutionizes how businesses understand customer experience and engagement, maximizing satisfaction, conversion, and revenue.  We are looking for a Tech Lead who leads through technical excellence, not management authority. You will define backend architecture, elevate the engineering team in Beijing, and drive Conviva's AI-native platform evolution.  Join us at the frontier of the agent analytics revolution, where we are defining the future of AI-native platforms. We offer a high-impact role where strategy meets technical craft, empowering you to shape our architecture while leveraging an AI-first development culture. This is a rare opportunity to join a team that prioritizes building and moving fast, backed by competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits. What Success Looks Like * Own architecture for Conviva's high-scale, real-time data platform. * Lead design reviews and drive key decisions on distributed systems, OLAP, and streaming infrastructure (ClickHouse, Kafka, Druid). * This role operates in an AI-assisted engineering environment. We expect active, fluent use of AI coding and agentic tools as part of normal engineering workflow — not as a productivity bonus, but as a baseline. Use AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as a standard part of your workflow — for prototyping, code review acceleration, design exploration, and technical documentation.  * Integrate AI/agentic capabilities: LLM pipelines, agent observability, intelligent data modeling. * Mentor engineers through code reviews, design pairing, and knowledge sharing. * Set the technical bar—your code, architecture decisions, and engineering habits are what others build toward. * Identify and grow future tech leads; champion code quality, testing, and CI/CD discipline. * Partner with Product and cross-regional engineering teams to translate business needs into scalable solutions. * Drive end-to-end delivery: design → development → testing → production monitoring. * Communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to senior stakeholders in English. Who You Are * BS in Computer Science or equivalent; MS/PhD a plus. * 8+ years of software engineering, with 5+ years in data platforms or high-scale backend systems. * Hands-on experience with big data platform stacks, including but not limited to Spark, ClickHouse, Druid, and Kafka. * Demonstrated understanding and practical experience with AI Agent systems, including LLM pipelines, agent observability, or intelligent data modeling. * Leads through technical influence—trusted for solving hard problems, not for holding a title. * Track record of mentoring engineers and making them measurably more competitive. * Proficient in either of the programming languages: Python, Go, Java, Scala, or Rust. * Actively uses AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) in daily engineering work. * Thrives in ambiguity; communicates clearly across distributed teams in multiple time zones. * Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written. Bonus Points * Experience with LLM application backends, agentic systems, RAG, or LLM-ops tooling. * Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI) and production deployment patterns.
