What you'll do
- Design and build robust, scalable web platforms end-to-end in TypeScript: APIs, services, data access layers and the UI on top of them
- Make architectural decisions and set the patterns that others build on
- Architect durable, long-running workflows and background processes on the workflow orchestration system (Restate)
- Build pipelines that move data between the warehouse, databases and products reliably and at scale
- Model large datasets so they can be queried and visualized fast, choosing aggregations, pre-computations and storage across Postgres and BigQuery
- Turn data into visualizations that are clear, interactive and beautiful
- Handle data with privacy in mind from the very first design decision
- Render large amounts of location data on interactive maps and keep them fast and polished
- Contribute actively to the roadmap, identifying tradeoffs and bringing product and engineering ideas
- Take responsibility for the architecture, performance, monitoring and reliability of everything you ship
- Proactively address issues before anyone asks
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of professional experience building SaaS products or data-heavy platforms
- High proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, and in modern web frameworks (React, Next.js…)
- Strong experience with Postgres and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
- Solid understanding of data modeling for analytics and for visualizing large volumes of data
- A privacy-aware approach to handling sensitive data, such as aggregation and anonymization
- Comfortable working autonomously across frontend and backend
- Real grasp of AI tools, using them to multiply output and judging what they produce
- Passion and experience building great products
Nice to have
- Experience with workflow orchestration and long-running processes (Restate, Temporal, or similar)
- Expertise in map rendering and geospatial data visualization (Mapbox GL, MapLibre, deck.gl, or similar)
- Experience with WebGL or GPU rendering
- Comfortable working closely with backend and data teams across a polyglot stack
- Knowledge of infrastructure (Bazel, GCP, Kubernetes)
