Metabase
Software Engineer (Backend)
Job Details
We’re looking for exceptional software engineers to join our team in doing the hard work that makes our users’ lives easy. We run on a mix of Clojure and JavaScript (and TypeScript), and the ideal candidate has shipped production code in one or more of these languages. You’ll be expected to ship major features end to end across our JavaScript and Clojure codebase, as well as deal with some of our trickier backend issues as they arise. Some familiarity with machine learning, compiler theory and modern big data infrastructures would be helpful. You should have strong product sensibilities and deeply care about the end user experience.
Responsibilities
Track record of shipping products of significant complexity
Solid CS background (acquired through either a CS program or shipping software in a production setting)
Able to make good technical judgements and back them up articulately
Nice to have: Experience with JDBC and database integrations
Nice to have: Experience and knowledge of the Java ecosystem and JVM tuning
Nice to have: history of open source contributions
Nice to have: experience in JavaScript / Typescript (our frontend is in JS and TS)
Perks
We’re a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development. We’re relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value, not short-term hacks. And we raised a $30M Series B to take our approach to the next level for years to come.
