Position: Senior Software Engineer
Company: Datagrok
Experience required: 5y
English level: upper

Datagrok’s mission is to help people understand their data. In order to do that, we are building a revolutionary, industry-defining analytics platform that allows people to connect to any data source, interactively visualize up to 10 million rows in the browser, and leverage artificial intelligence techniques to derive actionable insights from it at a speed previously unheard of. Think of Datagrok as an operating system for data. The platform is extremely flexible and could be extended in different ways, including visualizations, data pipelines, predictive models, R/Python scripts, and even applications built on top of it. Our customers are some of the biggest companies with the most demanding needs for data analysis and visualization. In parallel, we are working on the public and academic versions, which are in public beta right now. Check it out, just launch it and drag-and-drop your CSV file to start: datagrok.ai.

We are looking for an exceptional engineer to join our core platform development team on a journey to disrupt the data analytics industry. We are pushing the limits of what’s possible, so we need people who are up to the challenge. You will be solving hard problems, learning complex scientific domains, and managing the ever-increasing complexity. There is a lot of work to be done, and we pride ourselves on working fast and having no bureaucracy. Together, we will build a technology that will not only change how people interact with data, but will positively impact millions of lives as well (ask us how we are connected to the research and development of the COVID-19 vaccines).

We are not looking for the knowledge of any particular language or a framework; our ideal candidate will have no problems using our technology stack (Dart, Java, R, Python, Julia, C++, WASM, WebGL, JavaScript, TypeScript, etc.).
