What they're building

Foundational shared layer (XCore): identity and authorization, audit logging, BI data exports moderate signal

Today: Data you can trust, backed by the security and compliance you need (site)

Roles: Senior Software Engineer — XCore (Europe) · Software Engineer — XCore (Europe)

Requirements mention: low-latency distributed services · end-to-end ownership · partner directly with Product · low-latency APIs · reliable data pipelines · identity and authorization · audit logging · BI data exports

Inference: two Poland XCore postings, one senior and one not, point to continued investment in the shared base that the postings say 'every other product at Backstory.ai is built on'.

Data platform: Matching, Activity Capture and CRM Integration moderate signal

Today: Backstory's AI analyzes meeting transcripts, emails, and CRM data (site)

Roles: Senior Software Engineer — Matching (Canada) · Senior Software Engineer — Matching (Europe) · Senior Product Manager, Data Platform

Requirements mention: large language models · retrieval · evaluation · machine learning · distributed data systems · Matching · Activity Capture · CRM Integration · data quality

Inference: two senior Matching engineers, in Toronto and Poland, plus a Toronto product manager covering Matching, Activity Capture and CRM Integration, suggest that language models and retrieval are being applied to how captured sales activity is matched to CRM data.

Unified Data Platform (UDP) re-architecture weak signal

Today: Account 360 and Opp 360 (named in the posting)

Roles: Senior Software Engineer — Data Modeling (Europe)

Requirements mention: Unified Data Platform (UDP) · Account 360 · Opp 360 · big data jobs · REST APIs

No inference drawn; there is one posting only. It describes UDP as 'the biggest re-architecturing project in Backstory history', unifying products under one architecture.

Go-to-market: demand generation and key account sales weak signal

Today: Win more, even in complex selling motions. (site heading)

Roles: Senior Manager, Demand Generation · Key Account Executive

Requirements mention: paid media · agency partners · web conversion · organic discovery · AI answer engines · enterprise pipeline target · strategic sales cycles · value-based solutions · executive relationships

No inference drawn; these are two remote roles, one marketing and one sales, each with its own requirements.

Where the headcount is going

DepartmentOpen
Other10

Eight open roles, all tagged remote: 4 in Poland (all engineering), 2 in Toronto (one engineer, one product manager) and 2 remote (marketing and sales); one role opened in the last 30 days and none closed, and no posting gives a department.

Who they need

Seniority: Senior: 6; manager: 1; unknown: 1. Four of the eight are senior software engineer roles; the others are a non-senior software engineer, a senior product manager, a senior demand generation manager and a key account executive.

Skills named most: distributed data systems, microservice architecture, identity and authorization, audit logging, BI data exports, machine learning, large language models, retrieval, evaluation, CRM Integration, paid media, strategic sales cycles

Locations: Poland (4 roles), Toronto (2 roles), Remote (2 roles). All eight postings are marked remote: true, and locations are given as stated in the postings. The extracted requirements do not mention languages or certifications; check the full postings.

How to use this

If you're applying: Match your location and background against the listed requirements. The Poland roles are all engineering. Toronto has one engineering role and one product role. The two remote roles are sales and demand generation. The extracted requirements do not mention languages or certifications, so confirm this in the full posting.

If you're selling or recruiting: There are eight open roles, 4 of them in Poland and all engineering. Only 1 role opened in the last 30 days and none closed, which is too small a sample to read a hiring trend. The clearest cluster is Matching and the data platform: three roles across Toronto and Poland, with one Matching engineering role open since February 2026. No posting gives a department or headcount.
