Company mission
Meroxa's mission is to make real-time data the standard for any team regardless of expertise, company size, or available resources.
Role
Who you are
- You have a strong technical background with software engineering and designing large scale systems
- You have extensive experience with languages such as NodeJS, Ruby, or Java and the willingness to learn new technologies (although our main language is Go, there is no hard requirement that you be an expert in Go. We do expect that you are able to pick up Go fairly quickly)
- You have solid OOP and software design knowledge – you should know how to create software that’s extensible, reusable and meets desired architectural objectives
- You prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones, and have a good intuition for what will last and scale. You prioritize building the right thing that provides the most customer value
- You work autonomously, are excited by new technologies, and will never back down from the challenges of scale
- You listen well and internalize the best ideas from all over the organization, while also setting a vision that others are excited to get behind
- You work well cross-functionally and your co-workers at all levels and across all teams trust you
What the job involves
- Meroxa is looking for talented engineers that are obsessed with creating intuitive, data-centric developer experiences
- You’ll play a critical role in enabling Meroxa’s growth by building highly performant distributed systems with an emphasis on resiliency, security, and scalability
- You will also build the tooling and internal systems essential for other Meroxa engineers to monitor, debug, and safely deploy our software
- Addressing and solving complex problems at both an application and system level
- Collaborating effectively with teammates, technical partners, and the open source community
- Owning and managing all the phases of the software development lifecycle (planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support) and guide critical decisions correctly that fully consider software best practices, Meroxa's architecture, and customer requirements
- Designing, building, deploying, and maintaining microservices optimized for high-availability, throughput, fault tolerance, & performance
- Challenging architectural choices we make in building platforms or products/services at Meroxa
- Ensure technical decision making aligns with our brand ethos of ease of use and high developer productivity
- Teaching and mentoring other engineers to level up our collective capabilities and knowledge
- Working in a culture of feedback, inclusion and engineering excellence
- Projects you may work on:
- Developing a data orchestration platform using our open source Conduit data streaming tool
- Resource that allows customers to write serverless functions to consume events from a data source in any language
- Ensuring our platform can run on Kubernetes deployments in any environment(cloud native, on-premise)
Our take
Founded in early 2020 and with a 24 person team that’s completely remote, Meroxa is a data orchestration platform that allows customers to build production-ready data pipelines in minutes, not months. By reducing complexity and enabling self-service capabilities, Meroxa frees teams to spend less time on mundane tasks and more time focusing on impactful projects.
As organizations look to accelerate digital business transformation initiatives, it necessitates the need to bring on highly skilled data engineers who can handle the regular shifting of massive amounts of data. Wanting to negate the time consuming and expensive nature of this Meroxa makes it possible for the average IT administrator or developer to take charge of data flows between applications. Essentially making it possible for anyone to be a data engineer.
Competitors such as Monolith AI and Selligen build products that sit in parallel to infrastructure, however Meroxa offer a differnet model, as they sit as part of an enterprise's core data infrastructure. Series A funding of $15m in early 2021 will allow the company to grow the team and improve on the product.
