Company mission

Prefect's mission is to empower its users by democratizing dataflow automation.

Role

  • Strong understanding of web performance optimization techniques
  • Strong, demonstrated sense of user experience design
  • Experience building complex single-page applications with demonstrated knowledge of best practices surrounding state management, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility
  • Familiarity with backend technologies (Python experience a bonus) and RESTful APIs
  • Track record of leading successful projects and mentoring other developers, particularly with SaaS products at scale

What the job involves

  • We are looking for folks who want to join a remote-first team #LI-Remote to build an equally amazing company and product. In deciding whether to apply for a role at Prefect, consider whether your values align with ours
  • As a Staff Software Engineer (Frontend), you will play a crucial role in shaping our product’s user interfaces, across both our open source and commercial offerings
  • You will lead frontend initiatives, mentor developers, and work closely with our product managers and designers to deliver high-quality, scalable web applications
  • You’ll play an important part in helping guide Prefect’s next iteration of it’s user interfaces, not just from a technical standpoint but across information architecture and user experience design as well
  • Architect, and implement frontend systems using modern web technologies
  • Lead technical decision-making for frontend projects and establish best practices

  • Contribute to the product roadmap and technical strategy
  • Optimize client-side application performance and ensure high-quality user experiences
  • Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to team members

Our take

Building and managing data pipelines can be extremely time-consuming and complex, especially at scale. Prefect solves this problem with its dataflow automation platform.

Prefect's platform is designed to help data engineers reduce failures and increase confidence in their pipelines. This has the potential to drive revenue and efficiency by an impressive margin. Although its tools are especially useful at scale, Prefect serves a wide range of customers, from SMBs to enterprises. In 2021, the company raised an impressive $32 million in funding, which is further testament to the value of its platform.

Workflow automation is an increasingly competitive market, and Prefect's main challenge will be competing with rivals such as Google. However, with companies like Adobe, NASA and Apple all signing on to use its services, Prefect shows no signs of slowing down.
