Our backend tech stack is based on GCP, Go, protobufs, BigQuery and MySQL. Our mobile is built on Swift and Kotlin. We have built our platform from the ground up to optimize for clean data sources, and we have made numerous investments into data warehousing, streaming analytics infrastructure and offline data cleanliness. As a result, we think Grid is positioned for efficient and powerful data science.
What you will be doing

- Mobile: You will be the bridge between the mobile team and the back-end team, understanding the need of both sides and writing scaleable and well application code.
- Deployment & Iteration: We practice a dynamic, data-driven approach to product development. As an product engineer at Grid, you'll build towards bold milestones in well-engineered, incremental releases.
- Data Analysis: As a data-driven product, we have robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure. To be successful at Grid, you'll utilize SQL and other analysis tools to evaluate product and system performance regularly.
- Debugging Evented Systems: Grid's backend makes heavy use of pubsub. Testing and debugging complex state machines, in order to create a seamless experience for all users is key.
- Shipping to Production: You'll have access to a rapid CI/CD process that enables you to ship to production on the daily. As an engineer, you'll own your implementations end to end and respond to production incidents as needed.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
