Full Stack Engineer

We value small and high performing teams and are looking for a full-time software engineer to join alongside the current core team. The responsibilities will go beyond just the technical stack, and you'll be expected to contribute to the company strategy and will have a lot of influence over the product and company culture going forward.

Some Things We're Looking For

• You have experience or interest in building interactive products that teams love: you're excited about building the most user-friendly products for teams to take their raw data and turn it into insights.
• You appreciate good design (UI/UX) and are passionate about building products that people love to use
• You're a fantastic communicator, especially in a remote team and are happy to continuously challenge existing ideas
• You have experience or an interest in open source projects
• You're thoughtful about creating and maintaining a world-class engineering culture

What The Job Involves

• Build and own features from start to finish: plan, build, test, deploy, iterate
• Work in a small high performing team with a lot of collaboration and getting feedback directly from our users!
• Interacting with our users in the community (through Slack, Twitter or Github) and reviewing their issues and using the feedback to prioritise our work
• Having an ownership mindset: being comfortable with both responsibility and accountability
• You’re comfortable working in a new, small team that is rapidly growing – you’ll need to be comfortable when faced with a lot of ambiguity, both technically and organizationally!
• You're a fantastic communicator, especially in a remote team and are happy to continuously challenge existing ideas
• You feel confident making trade-off decisions between moving quickly and launching features versus optimizing for engineering excellence. You’re happy putting something out when it’s “80% done.”

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for a role if they don’t have experience in 100% of the requirements outlined in a job description. Please know that even if you don’t have experience in all the areas above, but think you could do a great job and are excited about shaping company culture, finding great people and building great teams, we’d love to hear from you!

How we work at Lightdash

• We build in public, by default. We’re an open source product, so having shared context is important so that people can contribute effectively to Lightdash. As a team, we also think that we make the best decisions when everyone has a lot of the same information. We don't oversell and under-deliver: we want the experience of using Lightdash to be as awesome as the experience we're selling.
• We challenge problems, not people. We ask ourselves “why is this broken?” not “who is breaking this?”
• We’re highly collaborative. We’re a group of people that are happy working independently, but love being part of a team.

Our Tech Stack

While we don't expect you to have used all the components of our stack, it'd be great to know which parts of it you're familiar with:

• Primary stack: Typescript, React, Node, SQL
• Frameworks: express, react-hooks
• Infrastructure: Docker, GCP
