Peec AI

Backend engineer in AI search

In short

Senior backend engineer role at Peec AI, a Berlin-based Series A startup building an analytics platform for AI search visibility. The job focuses on making scraping, chat-processing, source-ingestion, and analytics infrastructure more reliable, cheap, and fast, working with TypeScript on Bun and a cloud-native stack (GCP, Kubernetes, Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse). Requires 5+ years of backend/infrastructure/distributed systems experience, strong understanding of queueing and failure-handling patterns, and comfort operating under real production incident pressure. Onsite in Berlin, compensation €100K-€150K.

About
Peec AI is the analytics platform for AI search. People increasingly discover products and make buying decisions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews instead of traditional search, and most brands have no idea where they show up in those answers. Peec gives marketing, SEO, and growth teams the data to see exactly that: how visible their brand is across AI platforms, how they compare to competitors, and where to win.
Responsibilities
You will not just add endpoints or close tickets. You will make our scraping, chat-processing, source-ingestion, and analytics infrastructure more reliable, cheaper, faster, and easier for the rest of the team to reason about. The best fit looks like someone who can debug a provider outage in the morning, design a better queueing model before lunch, ship a TypeScript service change in the afternoon, and write the postmortem or follow-up ticket clearly enough that the next engineer immediately knows what to do.
Requirements
•5+ years of backend, platform, infrastructure, or distributed systems engineering experience in a production environment
•Deep hands-on TypeScript experience. We run TypeScript services on Bun, and we care about people who can design clean, reliable backend systems rather than only write application code
•Strong understanding of queues, workers, retries, rate limits, idempotency, distributed locks, webhooks, and failure handling
•Experience operating systems under real production pressure: incidents, provider outages, customer escalations, noisy alerts, slow dependencies, and incomplete data
•Comfort with cloud-native infrastructure. Our stack includes GCP, Kubernetes, Cloud Tasks, Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Redis, Postgres, Firestore, ClickHouse, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
•Ability to debug across layers: application code, logs, metrics, queues, provider APIs, databases, network behaviour, and deployment state
•Product-minded judgement: you can separate internal detail from customer-safe explanation, and you understand when a "small infra change" has customer, security, or cost implications
•High ownership and low ego: we want people who take responsibility for ambiguous systems, ask sharp questions, and make the team better through clear thinking and kindness
•A bias toward durable fixes: you do not stop at "restart the pod" if the real issue is retry amplification, missing backpressure, an unsafe parser assumption, or a provider limit we do not model
Conditions / Benefits
•Exciting and challenging work with real impact and ownership at one of Europe's fastest-growing Series A startups
•Regular team events and off-sites
•Aggressive equity compensation package
•Paid Dinner & Uber home when working late
•The most beautiful office space and work environment in Berlin
•Compensation Range: €100K - €150K
