The role

We're looking for a senior software engineer, backend to join our growing world-class engineering team. The role will be responsible for all aspects of our backend, including our suite of integrations, machine learning pipeline, and metadata monitoring infrastructure. If you love owning and shipping features to customers, are excited to build scalable and resilient systems our customers rely on every second of the day, and are always learning and sharing best practices with the team, then this role is for you.

Your day-to-day at Metaplane:
  • Work with our product team and customers to design, build, and ship core features to the Metaplane platform using Python and Java

  • Build integrations with tools throughout the data pipeline ecosystem including ETL tools (e.g. Airflow), warehouses (e.g. Snowflake), transformation tools (e.g. dbt), and business intelligence tools (e.g. Looker)

  • Scale our observation and machine learning pipeline that collects billions of metadata records for our customers

  • Scale our infrastructure in AWS using tools like Terraform

  • Improve our backend developer experience using tools like Gitbook, CircleCI, Datadog, and Sentry

  • Debug and fix production issues across multiple systems that are affecting our customers

  • Review code changes and design specs from teammates


We're looking for someone who:
  • Has 3+ years working with backend technologies like Java, Python and Node.js (languages matter less than engineering experience, so dont worry if you havent used one of these languages in a while)

  • Has experience building scalable backend and distributed systems like APIs and workers. Youve used or are interested in technologies like PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, Redis, Message Queues, and ElasticSearch.

  • Has an extremely high bar for quality software - you can move fast and ship scalable code with the help of your team

  • Enjoys being close to the customer and owning projects to completion


You'll stand out if you have:
  • Desire to own engineering end-to-end. Our engineers engineer systems from scratch, deploy into production environments, and make sure the code is maintained.

  • Love for talking to users, understanding their needs, and making sure your product meets their requirements.

  • Appetite for working in fast-paced environments where you get to work directly with customers and make decisions that have a huge impact on the business.

  • Desire to create and maintain an engineering culture of craftsmanship

  • Familiarity with the modern data stack (e.g. Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, Looker)


Benefits of Working at Metaplane
  • Competitive salary and equity

  • Fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) plan with employer match

  • Work-from-home stipend

  • Ownership of your work, and collaboration with a closely-knit team
