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

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, open-source tools like Metabase are taking the stage, available both as a self-hosting solution and a managed cloud offering.

Metabase's open source nature has helped it build a large and active global community. The company generates revenue through professional services such as managed hosting, support, and assistance with impleneting Metabase in custom analytics or business intelligence setups.

It also serves over 85,000 companies worldwide. And now, the challenge for the startup will be capturing significant revenue while continuing to stay true to its open-source principles.
