Responsibilities

As a data engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Building our core data systems and API

• Collaborating with product engineers to ship new features

• Increasing team productivity by improving the development lifecycle

Since we’re a startup, in addition to the above, you’ll have the chance to be involved in other areas of the business like product, growth, recruiting, and fundraising.

Our Process

• The first step is a phone screen with a recruiter for us to learn some of the basics about your background.

• The second step is meeting Charlie, our CTO. He’ll ask in-depth questions about your work history, as well as give you an overview of our company and culture.

• The third step is a technical take-home assignment where you’ll solve a problem similar to the ones we face every day.

• After the take-home, you’ll meet us on-site to whiteboard a system design problem and enjoy a delicious lunch with the team!

• Finally, we like to do a paid trial run, where you’ll be working with us over a weekend or part-time during the week. This lets both sides make a more informed decision about working together.

• Afterwards, we’ll ask for references with past colleagues and compile a formal offer
