Senior Software Engineer (Core Services - Ingestion)

Treasure Data:

At Treasure Data, we’re on a mission to radically simplify how companies use data and AI to create connected customer experiences. Our intelligent customer data platform (CDP) drives revenue growth and operational efficiency across the enterprise to deliver powerful business outcomes.

We are thrilled that Forrester has recognized Treasure Data as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Customer Data Platforms For B2C. It's an honor to be acknowledged for our efforts in advancing the CDP industry with cutting-edge AI and real-time capabilities.

Furthermore, Treasure Data employees are enthusiastic, data-driven, and customer-obsessed. We are a team of drivers—self-starters who take initiative, anticipate needs, and proactively jump in to solve problems. Our actions reflect our values of honesty, reliability, openness, and humility.

We are growing our platform organization and looking for experienced backend engineers to help strengthen the core systems that power our data platform.

About the Ingestion Team

The Ingestion team owns the entry point into the Treasure Data platform. We reliably ingest high-volume event data from external sources, apply safe and programmable transformations, buffer data durably, and deliver it to multiple downstream storage and processing systems.

These pipelines form the foundation for analytics, personalization, and AI-driven use cases across the platform. As event volumes scale into the billions per day, the team plays a critical role in enabling customer growth, maintaining platform reliability, and preparing the system for multi-fold increases in traffic in a predictable and cost-efficient way.
