Company mission

To save engineering time and increase trust by letting data teams know when things break, what went wrong, and how to fix it — before an executive messages them about a broken dashboard.

Role

Who you are

  • Has 3+ years working with modern web technologies and frameworks like Typescript and React
  • Has experience building flexible, composable components and libraries
  • Has a get it done attitude - if your project needs an API endpoint, you’re willing to create it (even if you need help from a fellow engineer!)
  • Has an extremely high bar for quality software - you can move fast and ship scalable code with the help of your team
  • Enjoys being close to the customer and owning projects to completion
  • Desire to own engineering end-to-end. Our engineers engineer systems from scratch, deploy into production environments, and make sure the code is maintained
  • Love for talking to users, understanding their needs, and making sure your product meets their requirements
  • Appetite for working in fast-paced environments where you get to work directly with customers and make decisions that have a huge impact on the business
  • Desire to create and maintain an engineering culture of craftsmanship
  • Familiarity with the modern data stack (e.g. Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, Looker)

What the job involves

  • Work with our product team and customers to design, build, and ship core features to the Metaplane platform using Typescript and React
  • Build reusable components that level up every part of our web application
  • Improve our frontend developer experience using tools like Gitbook, CircleCI, Datadog, and Sentry
  • Maintain and improve monitoring and observability tools like Sentry and Datadog
  • Debug and fix production issues affecting our customers
  • Review code changes and design specs from teammates

Our take

The amount of data that companies process - and the number of tools available to handle it - has increased exponentially in recent years. While platforms exist to monitor the performance of data software, not much exists to monitor the data itself. This leads to unreliability in business critical applications, that requires time-consuming and expensive QA.

Metaplane targets these quality issues by using anomaly detection models to find issues in a customer's data stack in real time. This allows data teams to swiftly locate and triage issues, before erroneous data hits a dashboard. While there is a growing roster of competitors entering the observability space, Metaplane seeks to stand out with its focus on product data, where its proprietary algorithms outshine Meta's Prophet library that is used by most competitors.

Metaplane has amassed a solid customer base of over 140 companies including Imperfect Foods, Appcues and Reforge. Its most recent investment is going towards the development of an AI-powered observability platform. In the longer term, it will move into other business areas beyond product.
