Company Description Metricform provides a real-time Narrative Intelligence platform that turns complex, multi-channel open-web and social data into decision-ready insights. By replacing weeks of research with clear, cited analysis in hours, Metricform enables brand, comms, and risk teams to detect emerging narratives, map community structures, and model audience sentiment before trends break. We combine high-performance streaming pipelines, vector search, graph algorithms, and production ML models to process millions of live data points across news, social media, LLMs, and community forums.

Role Description The Senior Developer will design, build, and maintain scalable software solutions that power Metricform’s Narrative Intelligence platform. In this full-time remote role, you will architect high-throughput services, ensure system reliability across massive data streams, and streamline our AI pipeline integrations.

You will collaborate closely with product leadership, executive stakeholders, and fellow engineers to refine requirements, plan technical approaches, and deliver robust features. Day-to-day responsibilities include writing clean, maintainable code, troubleshooting and resolving production issues, contributing to architectural decisions, and mentoring team members to uphold best practices in software development.
