Role

Who you are

We’re looking for exceptional software engineers to join our Applied AI engineering team in doing the hard work that makes our users’ lives easy
You’ll be expected to ship product features that leverage LLMs/generativeAI. You should have strong product sensibilities and deeply care about the end user experience
Strong generalist software engineer who likes shipping user facing features in a rapid and iterative manner
Solid CS background (acquired through either a CS program or shipping software in a production setting)
You care about crafting responsible, user-centered systems. You have a collaborative, iterative working style where you build features that are both powerful and ethically sound, with particular attention to accuracy and fairness
You've worked on large and complex projects. Metabase is a large code base so the ability to adapt existing code and integrate new capabilities into established systems is important and you should feel comfortable digging in
Nice to have: Experience building product features and systems that use LLMs/generative AI technologies

What the job involves

Ship innovative features in the Metabase software including those powered by LLMs/generative AI technologies. See our recent releases to get a sense of what these look like
Build LLM-powered natural language data interaction capabilities that allow users to ask questions about their data in plain English and receive accurate, contextual responses
Apply generative AI, ML, and data science techniques to enhance data understanding. Develop systems that can explain complex queries in plain English, and provide context-aware suggestions for data exploration
Work closely with product manager, product designer and other engineers in a collaborative, iterative, non-waterfall style of software development
Own the quality of the code you write and the areas of infrastructure in your team's scope. Write unit and integration tests that thoroughly and thoughtfully test the systems you build. We take testing seriously across all components

Our take

Metabase is leading a new trend in Business Intelligence tools. before it, there were big enterprise systems like SAP, and then self-service tools like Tableau and Looker. Now, cloud-based, open-source tools like Metabase are taking the stage.

Its open-source nature has helped Metabase reach 98 million downloads. Metabase makes money by offering a number of professional services like managed hosting, support, and assistance with implementing Metabase in a custom analytics or business intelligence setup.

The company is doubling down on its documentation and sales team to help onboard less experienced users and scale beyond its current user base of over 30,000 companies. The challenge for the startup will be capturing significant revenue while sticking to its open-source principles.
