Sr. Backend Engineer

At Bigeye, our mission is making it a delight to work with data every day.

We built some of the most widely adopted tools at companies like Uber and saw how fast teams move when they have a great data toolchain. Now Bigeye is building best-of-breed tools for anyone who eats, sleeps, and breathes data: analysts, data scientists, and data engineers around the world.

The DevOps movement changed the world of working with infrastructure. The DataOps movement is just getting started. Come help us write the first chapter.

The Team

You’ll be a Sr. Engineer on our team, joining a powerhouse team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and enterprise sales folks. You’ll not only help us build products that customers love using, you’ll help us build a team that people love working on.

Bigeye is for people who

• Love solving problems and making others successful

• Make their teammates happier when they’re around

• Believe a diverse team is a competitive asset

• Enjoy doing their best work and being accountable for it

The Work

Today, we’re focused on the most impactful aspects of DataOps: observability and lineage.

Most teams still discover data outages – duplicated, missing, and unexpected data – after they impact application features, dashboards, ML models, and ultimately their stakeholders. We’re building a data observability platform to monitor their data content and alert them early so they can triage and respond instantly.

What you’ll be doing

• Design and develop product solutions to the needs of our enterprise customers

• Keep Bigeye reliable and performant as customers deploy it on hundred of tables, thousands of columns, and billions of rows

• Design and contribute to an engineering platform that keeps us iterating rapidly and efficiently

• Hone the team’s engineering best practices and shared toolset

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to research, design, and implement solutions

We’re currently working with

• Java

• MySQL

• Python

• REST APIs

• RabbitMQ

• Protobuf

• Datadog

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in Java.

• Experience working within a Service Oriented Architecture.

• Experience building or working with databases, ETL tools, BI tools, etc.

• Experience designing, building, and supporting a user-facing product.

• Proven track record of solving pressing customer problems in a fast paced environment

• Clear and straightforward communication. We’ll be moving fast and building some complex products together, so clarity and conciseness matters.

Our Principles

Solve real problems. Bigeye solves real problems for real data teams, and Bigeye Engineering prioritizes those problems above all else. Engineering must be equally aware of customer needs as sales and customer support, and constantly re-evaluate whether what we are building is relevant.

Use boring technology. Success comes from building great products that solve real challenges for customers, not from satisfying our own technical curiosities. If a solution for a problem exists internally, we leverage or extend the solution. If this is a new space, we evaluate existing external solutions before committing to building something from scratch.

Build fast, zoom out often. We make customers happy by solving their problems faster than anyone else can (including themselves!), and that means not getting crushed by our scale or complexity. Bigeye Engineering makes time to extract commonalities into the platform layer, pay down technical debt, and with more information around problem spaces, rethink designs and architectures, and rebuild when we have to.
