Role
Who you are
- Experience in Clojure (or a strong desire to learn)
- Track record of shipping products of significant complexity
- Solid CS background (acquired through either a CS program or shipping software in a production setting)
- Able to make good technical judgements and back them up articulately
- Nice to have: Experience with JDBC and database integrations
- Nice to have: Experience and knowledge of the Java ecosystem and JVM tuning
- Nice to have: history of open source contributions

What the job involves
- We’re looking for exceptional software engineers to join our team in doing the hard work that makes our users’ lives easy
- We run on a mix of Clojure and JavaScript, and the ideal candidate has shipped production code in one or more of these languages
- You’ll be expected to ship major features end to end across our JavaScript and Clojure codebase, as well as deal with some of our trickier backend issues as they arise
- Some familiarity with machine learning, compiler theory and modern big data infrastructures would be helpful
- You should have strong product sensibilities and deeply care about the end user experience

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.
