Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of delivering scalable web applications and platform services across early-stage and enterprise companies, with expertise in designing and implementing data and analytics platforms, including BigQuery, large-scale data warehousing, and pipelines that support analytics and product insights
- Experience building backend services in Golang
- Passionate about learning new knowledge and skills, skilled at quickly ramping up in new areas
- Bias for action — address ambiguity and hard conversations directly, and actively promote these traits across the engineering organization
- Experience interacting with customers and business leads
- Excellent critical thinking and communication skills
- Regularly consider business lenses and tradeoffs, even for deeply technical engineering problems
What the job involves
- As a Staff Engineer, you will be a technical anchor on our core platform — driving architectural decisions that determine how we scale to serve enterprise finance and engineering buyers
- Lead critical and large-scale complex projects, providing both hands-on technical expertise and end-to-end project execution
- Contribute across the stack, with core focus on API design, BigQuery and modern data warehousing, and React/TypeScript front-end development — with working familiarity across relational and non-relational databases, authentication, CI/CD, and customer-facing features
- Drive and own end-to-end delivery of features, including planning, design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, adoption, and performance in production
- Make informed tradeoffs between tactical and strategic technical approaches, balancing long-term scalability with immediate business needs
- Own the architecture and quality bar of the platform, with primary accountability for the web application layer
- Uphold a high bar by participating in technical discussions, providing feedback on specs, and making recommendations while uplifting and mentoring junior team members
- If you want to shape both the product and the culture of a company at an inflection point — where the decisions you make now will define how we scale — this is the right place
- Our Stack: We build on React, TypeScript, Node.js, Go, BigQuery, and PostgreSQL. Familiarity with some of these is helpful context. We don't expect expertise in all of them, but knowing the landscape will help you hit the ground running
Our take
As businesses increasingly move their data and processing power off premises, finance teams must ensure cloud spending remains in budget. However, collaboration with engineers to manage cloud usage can prove difficult, with anomalies often addressed after they have occurred. Ternary’s Google Cloud native tool connects finance and engineer teams to one another, and provides automation for collaboration.
Ternary was founded in 2020 in response to the founders’ first-hand challenges getting engineering and finance teams to collaborate on cloud spend. Its platform combats reactive management of variable cloud spending by empowering engineers to make informed cloud-cost decisions, and also giving finance teams context for where their cloud budget is being spent. To date, it has managed over $7 billion in cloud spend, realising $1.5 billion in savings for its customers.
The company has over 100 active enterprise customers and is FinOps Foundation certified. It is riding the AI wave by adopting the new technology to predict business cloud needs, automatically generating actionable insights around cost reductions and anomalies.
